Week 32
continued from Week 31… The rest of the ride home my heart was quiet and still. This day had been unlike any other and it’s nearing the end. I wondered what my tomorrow will hold? Will I wake with hope? I still hadn’t seen or talked with Ryan and with it being so late and…

Week 31
continued from Week 30… I then needed to skedaddle off to work. My work commitment that evening was a team meeting so I needed to pick up my dear friend Sarah on the way. She actually needed to use our drive time to make work calls so I didn’t have the opportunity to fill her…

Week 30
continued from Week 29… In all our years of having littles, I rarely called upon my sister for help. She wasn’t local and she didn’t have any littles of her own, in her arms that is. Laura, my dear, sweet, younger sister had at this point in her life’s journey experienced two heart-wrenching losses of…

Week 29
7.14.13-7.20.13 continued from week 28… This answer, this gift from God Almighty required something of me. In order to receive what He provided I was to humbly tell the truth. The truth, which I didn’t know until that morning. The truth I wanted to blame Ryan for. The truth I wanted Ryan to tell. But,…

Week 28
7.7.13-7.13.13 continued from week 27… I sent Spencer in through the house to meet me at the front door. I pulled the envelope off the door and opened it, only to read “Urgent Notice” regarding our past due mortgage from Wells Fargo. I stagger to get up the foyer stairs. If Spencer wasn’t here I’d…

Week 27
6.30.13-7.6.13 continuing on from week 25 (and 26)… …There were tears within each of our eyes. Some of the words I shared with our three were “Our days may feel a little more difficult over the next few weeks but we have peace and as we choose to follow Jesus, He will help us.” Sitting…

Week 26
6.23.13-6.29.13 Taking a break from my story / journal sharing to put words to what I cannot explain but I know, and now am propelled to share… On December 1, 2012 I attended the memorial service of Ryan’s dear grandfather, our precious “Pappy O.” This time of remembering Pappy O, unbeknownst to us, was God’s…

Week 25
6.17.13-6.23.13 From my journal on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Jesus, I’ve got a lot of anxiousness about work lately. It’s filled my mind, or at least it’s trying to creep in, to fill my mind. Jesus, You alone are beautiful. The thought of You and me together in eternity is my soul’s only satisfaction. Lord,…

Week 24
6.10.13-6.16.13 continued from week 23… Recall with me why I came to Jesus asking Him “What is Your abundant life anyway, and how can I, can we, have it?” – it was because our day-in, all-night, and day-out reality was operating at warp speed. We were the warp-speed-Shultz’s. I am being undone all over again…

Week 23
6.3.13-6.9.13 continued from week 22… Up until this point I hadn’t shared with Ryan, or any others, how I had been invited into this time and now that I have come through it *this unbelievable gift of conversation with Jesus* I was even more hesitant to share. Jesus knew I would need “signs” to let…
