Welcome to my little writing corner. I count my many blessings to be a cherished wife and an ever-learning-loving-growing mother to 3 amazing children this side of Heaven and a precious little boy in Heaven. Together as a family we pastor a precious church community called Redeeming Hope Church. I've had the privilege of loving and following Jesus Christ since my earliest memories as a child. No matter what I've gone through in life, He has always been so present. At heart, I'm an encourager ... so this is a place where I get to wear my heart on my sleeve and share my journey of learning to live a life of love in action.

My birthday girl turn 6 years old

What a special day. My little girl just turned 6 years old. Angelee Hope is a ray of sunshine in our world and we just love the way she is always laughing through life. Her eyes sparkle when she laughs ... and she laughs so easily ... right from the belly!!!  Here are some pics from her special day. Tomorrow is her party, so today has been filled with opening pressies, blowing up balloons, decorating, baking and lots of laughing :)   Sparkler fun!  Getting a little shy ;)  Ice cream fun! Sisters and the best of friends! Thank you Lord for these precious one whom You have entrusted to Brett and I! They are such a joy and delight in our lives.  Love Janine

Come take a peek at some of the places in my garden that make me smile.  Behind me is one of the first plants we bought when we moved into our house. This "Delicious Monster" makes me smile every time I walk past it. It stays green & shinny all year long.  When I sit on my veranda, this is the beautiful tree I look out at. It never ceases to delight my heart. Depending on how the light catches it, it shines multiple shades of green. I love how it stretches out over our gate and there are a host of little birds who nest all year long in it.  This is our Coral Tree in the middle of our back yard. In Summer it is lusciously covered in bright
