The Missing Pacifier

June 24, 2013 by Rebekah Hoffer 3 Comments

10 Month Old Grace & Her Much Loved Pacifier

This post was originally published on November 6, 2010.  It is one of my favorite stories from the archives.  Enjoy. Little Grace loves her pacifier.  I love that she loves her pacifier!  It sure has come in very handy, but now Grace is old enough that we can start to limit how often she has her pacifier.    My goal is for her to have it just in her crib, but… Grace doesn't really like being left in the nursery at church.  For the sake of Grace and the helpers in the nursery I always have her pacifier readily available in the diaper bag. Wednesday morning I was rushing to get ready for a moms’ group at church.  I was almost ready to walk … [Read more...]

God is Good… All the Time?

God is Good - All the Time?

This post contains affiliate links. This past fall I attended Allume, a blogging conference for Christian women.  DaySpring provided some beautiful decor for a lounge that we all enjoyed.  It was in this room that I found myself constantly being drawn to one of DaySpring's canvas prints. And I hated it.   I couldn't stop staring at it.  It was haunting me from across the room. The memories started flooding back… “My worst nightmare is coming true, Rebekah.” I sat in my kitchen stunned as I listened to my friend on the phone.  Her little boy was being tested for cancer. The test came back positive.  Cancer. Several … [Read more...]

To Mothers with Empty Arms

Hospital Door for Stillborn Mother

I took a deep breath and started my journey down the hospital hallway.  My nerves increased with each step I took.  Was this really happening? I made eye contact with a gentleman as he passed me in the hallway. "How are you?" he asked with a smile. I forced a weak smile and replied, "Fine."  In my head I was screaming, "Awful!  Terrible!  How can you even ask me that?" Finally I reached the door.  The purple butterfly - a warning to everyone entering.  This was not a happy place.  I took a deep breath and entered the room. And there she was....  one of my best friends...  holding her stillborn son. It wasn't suppose to be … [Read more...]

God Cares About Stretch Marks

January 15, 2012 by Rebekah Hoffer 15 Comments

While washing my belly in the shower, I was amazed at how round it had already become.  It was the end of October and I was only 3 months pregnant.  However, this baby was making his/her presence known much faster than my first daughter did. "I really need to get some belly butter, " I thought as I continued my shower. I was nervous.  I was rushing.  It was the day that I was leaving for a christian women's blogging conference, Relevant.  I had never been to a blogging conference before.  Although I had made many connections with other attendees through Twitter, I was feeling very anxious. "I hope someone is handing out free samples … [Read more...]

Drowning in the Flood

September 8, 2011 by Rebekah Hoffer 19 Comments

I've been waiting for inspiration to write.  Waiting and waiting.  Nothing seems worthy of a blog post when your friend's 5 year old son is in hospice loosing his battle with cancer.  Then hardly anything seems worthy of your attention when you get the news that he passed away. I've been drowning lately.  Drowning in sadness and grief.  My heart is broken. As if to match my mood the rain has been falling for days.  Last night and today it seems like the ground has finally given up.  The water started to rise. This morning we found our basement badly flooded. My neighbor heard about our flooding and mentioned it to her landlord … [Read more...]
