We have a photo of a little girl on our fridge. She stands barefoot in the dirt, wearing a blue dress and a somber expression and she looks much older than her 4 years. Her eyes stood out to me the most when we were looking through pictures in order to choose a child to […]
I was sitting at the table during naptime on Monday and doing my personal Bible study, and it was super, crazy windy out – it started the night before, and was almost shoving our car off the mountain on our way home. It was whipping the trees around, and was whistling through the breezeway outside […]
Passive Parenting: This was something that hit me over the head this week. One of those parenting things you know, but as you see it in your own life, your own kids, it just whacks you upside the head and you’re so convicted! I was down on the floor playing with the kids earlier this […]
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! We’re back today with the second half of my love post. If you didn’t get a chance to read last week, pop back HERE and read and then come back and catch up! We’re talking about real love this week. Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Hallmark movies with all […]
What is love? (now you’re singing the song, aren’t you? “What is love? Baby don’t hurt me….”) For the next two weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day, we are going to talk about it: love! It’s a word we ache to hear. It’s a word we overuse. It’s a word that signifies something amazing and […]

My misconception was that being a Christian meant you were goody-goody and sure, you had your stuff together, but your life wouldn’t be fun […]
I was reading my devotional a few weeks ago, around the first of the year, and the words, “refresh” and “renew” kept coming up. And now, a few times this week, I have heard or had repeated the words “remain” or “abide”. What do these words mean? I looked them up in the Webster online […]
It seems like Christmas was a long time ago, but we are still in January, and so technically the year is still new, right? How are those resolutions coming? I hit a slight “doldrum” week last week with being off schedule, going through a little sickness, and then the snowstorm throwing us all off kilter, […]
Happy (belated) New Year, blog family! – I have been wrapped up in launching the new blog, working out the wrinkles in said new blog, taking down my Christmas decorations and organizing the house, so I am a little late to the party, but here you go! My Happy New Year post! 😊 First off, […]
