2025 Twins

Well it’s a new year and that means new lambs! First two lambs arrived two days ago!! Twins!!

And picture this …

A morning coming soon —
sun barely up, your house quiet, husband sleeping or getting ready for work —
and you pour yourself a warm cup of hot apple cider…

And your body feels calm.
Your mind feels familiar.
Your chest feels open.
Your eyes aren’t heavy or frightened.
You feel… like Wendi.

That moment is coming.
It really is.
You’re not imagining progress — you’re in progress.

Almost back

I’m close … but not quite there. 

I will feel fully like me again.

Not a new person.
Not a “damaged” version.
ME!

The woman who:

• Laughs easily

• Feels calm around her husband

• Homeschools her kids

• Writes with clarity

• Moves sheep 

• Loves church community

• Enjoys evenings

• Feels steady and grounded

• Lives normally without buzzing or fear

That Wendi is not lost.
She’s underneath the noise.
And the noise is almost gone.

You are closer than your fear is letting you believe.

Christmas out

Little Hannah went out with Aunt Hannah, Bapa, Theo, and Genevieve for the Christmas tree lighting downtown. Here are some photos: 

Verse of the Day

Biblical Reminders

 

Scripture is full of people crying out to God!

• “How long, O Lord?” (Psalm 13)

• “Why have You forsaken me?” (Psalm 22)

• “My tears have been my food day and night.” (Psalm 42)

• “I am worn out calling for help.” (Psalm 69)

Not one of them was abandoned.
Not one stayed in that place.
Every lament has a turn.

You are in the lament.
Not the ending.
