God is Good

One of my most favorite songs is by the Nashville Tribute Band, it goes like this:

"God is good! Yeah, God is good.
We've come so much farther than we thought we could,
Keep walking now.
God is good! Yeah, God is good.
One more mile behind us, yeah God is good."

This song is my anthem and my reality. I know God lives! He is my father, and my friend.
But recently I've gotten to thinking that I don't share that truth often enough.

From February 2013 to August 2014 I kept a blog of my experiences growing closer to God and telling the people of Gig Harbor, Washington and Rosario, Argentina about him as I traveled and preached as a missionary. It was such a fulfilling experience, and brought me so much joy to share my experiences with my family, friends, and strangers through my blog hermanamikayla.blogspot.com

While reflecting on that blogging experience, I felt hungry to keep sharing the reality of God's love and influence in my life. His watchcare and involvement in my life didn't begin on my mission nor end with it's completion. God is good to me, all the time.

Like my mission blog, my husband Kevin and I intend to keep this blog as an opportunity for us to share the guiding hand of God in our everyday lives. As you read we hope you'll recognize the hand of God in your life and feel of his love for you, too.

All our Love,
The Johnsons

The Wright Kind of Family

Today's blog post is a question, a question for YOU, the reader.  No, I don't mean somebody else in the blogosphere.  You there, reading this, right now. What makes for a happy childhood?  How can I raise the "Wright" kind of family? During my brief visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., what amazed me more than all the aircraft and space gear and aerodynamic science combined was the following quote by Katharine Wright, younger sister of Orville and Wilbur Wright: Additionally, Wilbur stated: WHAT A STATEMENT. What a tribute to their parents and to the family culture fostered in their home. My interest and desire to know more about their homelife is piqued, so I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to buy this book on Amazon tomorrow so that I can learn more:  What I want to know is how to grow a family where the kids rush home because home is the place to be! I want to know how to host an environment that suppo...

The Problem with Chick Flicks.

I really, really, really enjoy a select few movies that I willingly watch over and over again. Pride and Prejudice is one of them. You see, Elizabeth's defense of her family, her sense of self respect, her ability to admit that she was wrong and to appreciate Darcy despite all his quirks, and quizzical brow-ness... it's marvelous. My husband doesn't share the sentiment, could you tell? ... and that's okay. There's rare a chick flick I enjoy near as much as I enjoy Pride and Prejudice or A Walk To Remember , and I wanted to explain why. You see, there's more than just a few problems with (many, not all) chick flicks:  (and if you have a chick flick that escapes many of these pitfalls then please oh please leave it's title in the comment section!) The heroine (or suitor) is less than honorable. I have a hard time rooting for a girl to get a gentleman when she's spending her time being scandalously loose with other men ( #thenotebook) . An...

5 Children's Books You Really Oughta Read

I love reading almost as much as I love writing. And I love writing almost as much as I love reading. Depends on the day. One never truly trumps the other. Gotta have both. These are 5 children's books I've read within the past 2 years that gave me that turn-page feeling, that friends-with-the-characters feeling, that weepy-when-it's-over-feeling. I dare you to read one and I triple-dog-dare you to leave a comment below telling me a story that's given YOU them sort of feelings. #5-- Flotsam  by David Wiesner. If you're not much of a reader (or for your loved ones who can't read at all!) check this one out. It's a whimsical wordless picture book that entertains your curiosities of what truly lies at the bottom of the sea while simultaneously indulges hopes of finding something truly awesome washed up on the shores of a summer destination spot. #4-- Echo  by Pam Muñoz Ryan. With three main characters, three plot lines from WWII era, music liter...
