Life is hard sometimes. But I've come to learn and believe that God will never give us more than we can bear. Through this blog, I'm going to share the "golden nuggets" of my family.

What are "golden nuggets," you ask? Well, I once had a discipler that would make me share something good or encouraging that God has shown me in His word or done for me during the week. Think of it as a treasure hunter sifting for gold from the sand.

As a teen, my life seemed to be filled with many troubles, but when I took the time to search for those golden nuggets, I came to realize that they weren't that hard to find.


If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent, and place your gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks, then the Almighty will be your gold and choice silver to you. For then you will delight in the Almighty, and lift up your face to God. You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; and you will pay your vows. You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways. When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence and the humble person He will save. He will deliver one who is not innocent, and he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands. Job 22:23-30

Kiddie Kwote-Wallet

The Tahoe quote reminded of one that Ricky said when he was three or four years old. We were on our way to the church building and it was night time. We saw a man crossing the street.

Ricky: Mommy, why is that man walking?
Me: Well, maybe he doesn't have a car.
Ricky: Why doesn't he have a car?
Me: Well, maybe he doesn't have enough money to buy a car, that's why he has to walk.

He was quiet for a few minutes...that's usually how I can tell my kids are thinking. After a minute or so, here's what he said:

Ricky: Sooo....he's walking at night without a wallet?

Really, I can't make this stuff up!
