After a wonderful time with all our kids, we are back to just Norm and I, empty nesters until May...maybe longer if Robert gets an internship. I started a study in the book of Titus. I am reminded of the responsibility to be a good steward of what I have and I have been given a lot. The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful family, three children well on their way to successful independence, a nice house and financial freedom.
The biggest challenge for me is time, spending my time wisely in ways that make me feel satisfied at the end of the day. I am a great planner, I can put it down on paper but follow-through is not always there. I can always find a TV show to watch, the waster of my time. So a primary goal for me this year, turn off the TV.
With less TV, more blogs as I get out and really experience life instead of vicarious living through the set.
God promises that if we seek Him, we will find Him. Our search for God begins in the Word of God which reveals His character, His love for us, and His plan for our lives. Like a well-designed treasure map, sometimes we misunderstand it's meaning, but the truth it contains always leads to the treasure of an abundant life.

About Me
- Tricia Lathrop
- My life quest began with a simple question: How does one seek the Kingdom of God first? My search through the scriptures nurtured a growing appreciation for the treasure that God offers us in His word. I became a Christian at a young age and was blessed with parents who knew the value of the Word. A graduate of Oral Roberts University, I taught first grade for several years before choosing to stay home and raise my three children. My husband Norm and I reside in Upstate New York where we are active in our local church. I have lead women's Bible studies, taught children's Sunday school, directed the Christmas Pageant and lead worship as part of the worship team. With a renewed passion for writing, I have recently completed the Journeyman course with Christian Writer's Guild. I look forward to seeing where God will lead.
