Last March, my husband and I lead a team of young adults from our church to Turkey over Spring Break. It was one of those unexpected delights as we spent a week in Instanbul exploring the city and culture. While we were there, I really connected with the team lead (it's amazing what happens when you make coffee for 30 people and wash dishes together!).

Goal Getting!
Hi friends, I so look forward to this time with you each month. Thanks so much for taking the time out of your busy day to spend some of it with me. I don’t know about you, but I’m a planner addict.

May the Force Be With You
I live in a household of Star Wars nerds. I'm a fan as well (being a child of the classic trilogy era), but my appreciation cannot compare to that of my hubby and each of our three children. So, when Christmas rolls around, elements of the galaxy far, far away abound in the Witemeyer realm. First, there are the decorations: Outdoor inflatables filled with galactic Christmas … [Read more...]
A Prayer for 2020
As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I thought I would offer up a prayer for us all: O Gracious Lord, In this coming year, teach us to trust You more, to love You more, to obey You more quickly and more completely, to forsake our besetting sins, to bridle our tongues, to live as children of God. May we be quick to repent and forgive, seek continual refreshment through Your … [Read more...]
