ITCHY FINGERS: March 2011
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Ruth is the name of my Grandmothers twin sister. When I was a child, I thought it was an ugly name. Before you throw stones, I know I'm not alone! I thought my Grandma clearly got the good name with Beth. But as I've studied the book of Ruth, it's become a dear name to me and I can understand why my inspiring Great Grandma May named her daughter Ruth. And what did He do? He acted as her great Father. He took care of her. He provided for her. He gave her a Godly husba...Don't you...

ITCHY FINGERS: February 2012
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 19, 2012. Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist when we grow up. And it's a grand scale that it happens on. It's scary. And hard. So hard. So hard that it can squeeze the life out of you for a while sometimes. Today, after six long years, I picked up my paintbrushes again. And the weird part is, it almost happened without my noticing that it had happened at all. This week I read an article titled ' The Holy Spirit and the Arts. So the brushes and paper are dust...

ITCHY FINGERS: November 2011
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Mommy, can you light the candle? They ask. and they come. The light beckons them. It calls them. It welcomes them to the table. And here, they learn. They learn how to manipulate figures, and of creation and all that is within. And they learn most importantly, of The Light. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). You’ll t...

ITCHY FINGERS: April 2011
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. Yesterday, our eldest daughter was baptized. As I stood there, and I saw my husband baptizing our daughter, I kept thinking, "Who am I to receive this gift? Friday, April 15, 2011. Sharing what I'm reading is hard, because if I were truly going to show you, it would be a stack. Christian" novels would be cheesy and sub par literature. (Lit snob? Ah, yes.) Again, me and my preconceived notions were wrong. Francine Rivers is quite talented and reveals much of God's beauty in...The o...

ITCHY FINGERS: May 2011
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 13, 2011. This spring has been long in coming. For months I've been saying "Did I move back to Seattle? What is with all this cold gray weather? Is it actually snowing. AGAIN. in May. Ugh! No, I don't really believe he could do that. However, when I saw them bloom, now, when his brother is about to be born, I couldn't help but connect the dots of symbolism. It was too beautiful not to share. At his memorial service I shared this verse with my friends. Bless the LORD, O my soul,. So that your ...

ITCHY FINGERS: May 2012
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. Step It seems like such an odd word to describe a familial relationship. Step-mother. Step-daughter. And then there's the whole Cinderella tale to give it a negative vibe. The word brings a cold and removed feeling with it. It is aggressive somehow, menacing, mean. But there is nothing cold, removed, menacing or mean about the woman who stepped into my life, stepped into that role of mother. How else can one mother six? She stepped in. She stepped in to countless messy hard plac...

ITCHY FINGERS: A Letter to my Ruby on your Due Date
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-letter-to-my-ruby-on-your-due-date.html
Saturday, July 13, 2013. A Letter to my Ruby on your Due Date. She also says ".if what we really deserve is hell, then anything else God gives us, or spares us from on this side of eternity is a privilege - even suffering.". You can read the full story in Luke 24. Starting with verse 13.). He didn't act the way they thought He would. He didn't deliver them the way they thought He would. He wrote a different story than the one they had in mind. Now, I am not the most patient parent when it comes to re-tea...

Blue Eyed Soul…. Changing lives from a cornfield! Who is this guy? Ray Lewis Sacked My Theology. January 21, 2013. I hated Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. Ok, that’s probably too strong I intensely. Because I thought he got away with murder. I was outraged and isn’t it funny (or perhaps, pathetic) how we will get so emotionally involved in events that don’t really have anything to do with us or anyone we know and love? A public relations move. And then God tapped me on the shoulder. I tell those w...

ITCHY FINGERS: April 2013
http://ihaveitchyfingers.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 4, 2013. I wrote my way through Ellie’s cancer. But then the words disappeared, dried up. You see, I write what God puts on my heart. There are times when there aren’t stories there to share. But there are other times when I hear God saying, “Tell this story. I am doing something, tell them! Once again, I can hear that loud whisper in my heart. God has a story he wants me to tell, a part of my heart he wants me to bare. Any plans we had were thrown out the window. I thought it was over.
