House Hunters

Four months of waiting have finally culminated in this event. The Vinsons home is now under contract so House Hunters has finally made their way to Charleston. Saturday was a fun yet long day. It was quite an interesting experience to be on the other side of the camera. I just have to say that I love God's sense of humor and his impeccable timing and gifts. I know how TV can be sometimes so I tried not to say anything negative so that they don't edit anything in the wrong context.

I'm quite fond of Tina and Blaine. I love hearing their story and of God's miraclous healing of Tina. It was really a gift to meet them. I'm so excited that Tina will be moving to this side of 526. I hope that we can become better friends b/c I feel like I could learn so much from her. This has been a stressful time for them and they openly admitted that they just kept getting out in front of God. Twice, they asked me to pull the house off the market, but then we got another showing so they waited. Shortly after I got back from Africa, we received 3 offers! It couldn't be a more stressful time for them, because now they have to find a new place to live before the end of the year. Thankfully, God worked that out too.

Not sure when the show will air because they still have one more day of filming but we won't do that until after the new year when they get settled into their home. So stay tuned for the HGTV air date. What an awesome opportunity! Thanks God for his continued favor.

My brother teaches me something

I decided to write my brother a letter last week. While I sat down to write the letter, it dawned on me that there were some words he needed to hear. Chris reminded me that I might be the only person in the world that understands him because of experiencing the same childhood. First, I told him I was proud of him for working hard to stay out of trouble and keep a job. These are words that we both long to hear from our parents. Our desire to hear these words from them pushed us to act in two very different ways. Second, I told him that I admired him. That might sound strange intiailly but the last time that I saw him was at dinner at my parent's house. Before he left, he leaned down to give a hug to my father who was laying in the recliner. Dad didn't reciprocate, but I can't imagine how much courage and forgiveness had gone through Thomas's heart to be able to do that. I'm shamed to admit that I can only remember hugging my dad 2 times in my adult life. ...

Spring

It's hard to believe we've been in TN for almost 10 months. We've just about made it through all the season. I have to admit that it was quite beautiful to experience the fall leaves for more than a day that we might have seen in Charleston. The winter was a rough initiation but I made it. I'm pretty sure I made every attempt not to leave the house, but the snow pretty much helped with that. It seems that the seasons have changed once again overnight. Literally, in one day, the leaves on the tree next to our house have gone from barren to full of green. Bushes and trees are flowering everywhere. There's something so refreshing about spring. While all the seasons are beautiful, spring represents new life. What a perfect time for Lana to arrive!

Nourishing Cabbage Roll Soup

If you don’t like cabbage, I encourage you to try this recipe before you write it off.  This is my current favorite go to recipe right now and it’s a hit with the whole family. It’s warm, filling and nourishing. It’s much like cabbage rolls but without the work of stuffing and rolling those cabbage leaves but just as good, if not better. This soup reheats well and we enjoy it as leftovers. I also like to add collard greens to this soup but you can leave that out.  Ingredients 1 onion, diced 3 cloves, minced 1 lb grass fed beef 1/2 lb pastured spicy pork sausage 3/4 cup of basamati rice 1 medium cabbage, chopped (core removed) 1 bunch of collard greens (leaves cut from stems and chopped) 1 quart of canned diced tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato paste 4 cups of bone broth (I used pork, but really any will do). 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp Celtic sea salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce Instructions In a large pot, saute onion, garlic ...
