Where Are Your Eyes?

Last updated on: June 6, 2014 at 2:29 pm By Chelsea Patterson

Where are your eyes? It’s not secret that my heart has been hurting recently over the unknowns and uncertainties with my sisters precious body and health. While there are many questions and have been many tears before the Lord, I am constantly reminded of His great care, even if it doesn’t immediately come how I think it should. (more…) Read more

Wait For The Lord…

Finding Joy When Life Hurts….

Last updated on: June 2, 2014 at 9:11 pm By Chelsea Patterson

I can’t remember my heart hurting anymore than it’s hurting right now. My youngest sister is extremely sick right now. A week and a half ago she was completely fine and we were enjoying the last few days of our family vacation at Disney World. In just a matter of days, our worlds have changed. She went in on Friday for some tests, and the results were promised today. Instead of a clear diagnosis, we were told that it could take... Read more

Intro… Well, I’m a week late on posting this, but better late than never 😉 I’m currently on vacation in Florida with my family and I haven’t really been using my technology a ton, other than to post some pictures and check e-mail once or twice a day.

One of the sweetest moments of my week

Last updated on: April 23, 2014 at 4:54 am By Chelsea Patterson

The Lord has been abundantly gracious to me in allowing me to experience some of the sweetest blessings while in DC.
