Sometimes it is hard to feel like He is listening.
Does He hear? Does He care about the things that matter to me?
But in this doubt, it hits me time and again.
He has proven Himself true.
I can trust the Unseen because He is not unknown to me.
And he wants me to cry out to Him with my needs, but in the end, He also wants what is best for me.
"What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He didn't keep His own Son from us, will He not give us everything else? Can anything ever separate us from the Love of Christ? Does it mean He no longer loves me if I have trouble, or distress, or feel hunger or pain? If I'm attacked or in danger, does that mean He no longer cares? I AM CONVINCED that NOTHING can ever separate us from God's Love. Neither death nor life, angels or demons, neither our FEARS for today nor our worries about tomorrow. No power in the sky or on the earth... nothing will separate us."
(From Romans 8)...
I am NEVER alone.

About Me
- Tammy
- I am a midlife Momma to my two blessed babes and married to the man of my dreams. Even though I am an ordained minister, I'm currently on a parenting sabbatical. I have served at various times in the church before children joined our family... as a youth pastor, pastor to children and families, and co-pastor with Hubby. We are continually it seems, seeking ministry opportunities that fit well with our philosophy of family first. I'm an American farm girl who enjoying life in a smallish city with an even smaller feel to it. I met my Northern Hubby, who is a Pastor too (although he supports us mostly through carpentry work), when I was in grad school after a major career change. He moved me from my Kansas home to lovely Alberta, where we've embraced life for now, more than 11 years. Our journey to parenting is a story in and of itself and has unfolded in amazing ways. Let's just say, sometimes things don't work out like you think they will but better than you could have imagined. And in the end, it seems we needed a LOT of help and hope getting there. And that's me... for now... Wife, Mother, Pastor, and of course, always hoping...
