The weekend after Chris left, I got a sweet package in the mail from my dear sister, Aurelia at YouFrillMe.comOne of the gifts was a devotional.

Things are going okay in the Stephens household.After surviving 12 days of everyone being sick with an icky cold, we are finally on our way to recovery!The worst things about being sick are the sleepless nights, and the messy house that is a result of being too sick or tired to care about.And as IContinueContinue reading “cut short”

wow….its been a tough week. Or two. I’ve been wanting to blog, but I haven’t really been able to sit down and clear my mind for a while.

And just like that….he’s gone.The moment finally came. Yesterday, Chris and Isabela went on their final daddy daughter date. I was doing some light cleaning, and it finally hit me. I thought, “This is actually happening!”It sucks so bad.If we were childless, it wouldn’t be so bad. I would miss him, and he would missContinueContinue reading “Gone.”

Today, Chris put a bunch of files on our laptop that he found in several thumb drives.As I was looking through them, I found some mp3 files and video files of the LifePointe worship team I used to be a member of, and had some fun watching them and reminiscing.Until….I saw this one video.First ofContinueContinue reading “A new season”
