Testimony And A Reminder

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for reading today. I am here to praise God!

Yesterday afternoon, my Mamaw Martha was released from the hospital! She is home, resting and regaining her strength. 
 
Our family collectively is so thankful for God’s help! His goodness is still amazing! We are grateful that Mamaw is doing much better! 

I have had a great week physically. Monday, I wrote about the extra special touch the Lord blessed me with on Sunday evening! 

I have felt God's sweet presence near me all week. I have basked in His help. My strength has been better than it has been in a while!

I thank God for every ounce of extra strength! I praise God for each little victory. I am closer to my miracle than I was yesterday!

Last week, I told you about Voices From the Valley on YouTube. Several, let me know that they enjoyed last week's episode. I just wanted to remind you one more time about this great devotional each week.

BHC released Pastor Brent Gabbard’s second episode yesterday. Check it out here I know you will be blessed! Mom and I enjoyed it immensely. 

He is in the book of Philippians right now. Its a powerful book! Bro. Brent is bringing us the word so eloquently!

I will close for now.

2025 Mother’s Day Weekend Recap

 Hey Friends,

I am so glad you stopped by to visit with us. I hope your week is going well!

Here is a quick update on my Mamaw. Mom and I spent some time with them at the hospital yesterday afternoon. She was still very weak, but improving!

The doctor was pleased with her progress and her numbers. The plan was for her to go home sometime today!

She wanted me to thank everyone for their prayers and concern for her. Thank God for answering our prayers!

I have some photos from our weekend to share with you. On Saturday, we spent time with my Uncle Danny Morgan and his family, Gran and Papaw. We had a great day with them!

The weather was perfect for a zoo day, so we visited the Columbus, Ohio, zoo. It was extremely crowded! 

We were thrilled to spend the day enjoying sunshine and family. Although I only captured a handful of pictures, countless memories were made! This was little Kolby’s first zoo trip.














Sunday afternoon we also had more Morgan family time. Mom and I decided to surprise everyone and show up for the Mother's Day family dinner. 

With two services at our church on Sunday, my mom being in the hospital And my mom's parents live an hour and a half away, I did not know if we could pull it off. The day was jampacked full, but I am so glad that we were able to be with my grandmother for a little while on Mother's Day.





Saturday and Sunday both we did spend some time with my Boggs Grandparents! I did not take any pictures of my Mamaw since she was in the hospital. Sick or not, she is still beautiful! 

Here is a picture from a few weeks ago! I love both Mamaw and Papaw dearly!


We will wrap it up with a few pictures that I snapped during church on Sunday. We are blessed to be part of DRPC!






See you all tomorrow!

Mamaw Update And Monday Meditation

 Hey Friends,

Mamaw Update

Thank you for praying for my sweet Mamaw, and thank the Lord for helping her! We went to see her yesterday afternoon. At that point, she was still in Afib. Mamaw did not want to have her heart shocked this morning.

Not long after we left the hospital, we received an update. Then her heart rate was back to normal and staying there!

Praise the Lord! I  am so thankful for some good news! We are continuing to pray for a complete recovery. 

I want God to give her supernatural strength, which only comes from Him! Just being 80 years old does not disqualify her from a miracle! Nothing is impossible with God!

Monday Meditation

Our pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland preached a masterpiece last night. It was on faith and believing in miracles. I wish all of you had been there to hear it in person! There is no way that I can describe the wonderful message to you here today. 

I will tell you this: The Lord met me powerfully last night! My heart is overflowing! I may not be walking yet, but I expect it to happen anytime!

I am beyond grateful that the Lord blessed me so mightily. The visitation of His spirit is a precious thing. He renewed my faith and encouraged my soul!

I have one little nugget to leave you with. I will be meditating on this for days! This was too good to wait for Sunday Sanity!

If I believe Him, I have NOTHING to lose! But if I don't believe Him, I have EVERYTHING to lose!”

Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland

5/11/25 DRPC Moraine, Ohio


Today I choose anew to believe! Here my heart’s cry!  “Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief!” Let today be the day! I am praising you God in advance! You deserve ALL the glory and the honor!

Thank you, friends, for reading! I will see you all tomorrow.

Thank God For Helping Carson

 Hey Friends,

I hope you're having a great Friday! Thank you for choosing to spend a moment of your day with us. I am typing this early Friday morning as I head to bed.

We had a good service at church last night. Then we decided to fellowship with some friends! I am so thankful for the wonderful church family that we have! The fellowship was much needed and did my soul good!

I am choosing to make this a quick post. Thank you all so much for praying for my little cousin Carson! The Lord heard and answered their prayers. Now he is doing well!

Saturday afternoon, he was released from the hospital. Here is a picture of the Deidre sent our family. She said this is the look that was on his face when she told him he was getting to go home.


As you can see Chloe Jean is happy to have her baby brother home! I thought this this was an adorable picture.


Thank you again for reading! We appreciate all of your prayers and concern for us and our family members!

See you next time!

Thankful For A Safe Place

 Hey Friends,

Bad weather has been plaguing our land. As I type, we are watching for more storms. We have been praying for many of our friends who have been in the path of the storms! Our county in Ohio is under a tornado watch for several hours over Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

I have been extremely thankful for my 
Daddy’s foresight. When he designed my home, he made my master closet a safe room. It has a concrete ceiling and block walls, so when storms come, I have a safe place to go!

We are prepared to run in there during this bout of storms if needed. We took shelter in the safe room Sunday night. A tornado came through our area. The Lord protected us, and I am so grateful! We did have a dead tree fall behind the barn, but it just laid over!



I have been thinking a lot about the safe place we can run to as a Christians. I remember the scripture that Dad wrote on the walls of my safe room while we are building the house.

These verses have brought comfort to my heart many times. I thought I would share them with you today, I hope they comfort to your heart!

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
“I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91‬:‭1-2‬ ‭

Thank you for reading! I will see you tomorrow!
