Come Holy Spirit…In Remembrance

Posted on January 27, 2016April 27, 2017 by Amy

Lately the prayer on my heart has been Come Holy Spirit. In the last 2 years we have lost many dear friends and family members. Each loss has been an opportunity to dwell on a life well lived, with glimpses of God’s glory. Today I would like to honor one of our dear friends, Deacon…

Command Center Round Up (+Free Calendar Printable)

Posted on January 22, 2016 by Amy

I hope the near year is treating your family well. 2016 has already provided many new changes in the Wiggin house. Stuart’s work schedule has changed and Anna has started attending a little Montessori in our neighborhood. All of these changes have motivated me to get more organized in 2016.

It all started when we watched The Lion King for the first time. I was excited to share one of my favorite movies with Anna. We named each animal during Circle of Life, laughed at Zazu, danced to “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” and then it happened… Mufasa died. We watched the solemn images of…
