I was reading the what people call the “Faith Hall of Fame” passage in Hebrews the other day – if you haven’t read it recently, check it out here. (Noticing lots of “faith” themes in my posts recently?! These days I’m learning all about not knowing but believing and going just the same!) The whole […]
Today, I want y’all to imagine you have a friend. You’ve had this person in your life for forever it seems; they are a given. A constant in your life. You can hardly remember a time when they weren’t there for you. This person is amazing – you can pick up the phone and call […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hello there lovely friends! Welcome to my little corner of the world — this update has been a long time coming, and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with you! My original blog was born several years ago when I was going through my back surgery, and since then life […]

Hey there mama, this one is for you….and actually for myself because I needed to hear this this week, so I wrote it for me and for you. I don’t know about you, but motherhood for me is a cycle. I go and read a great devotional or blog or have an awesome outing with […]
Happy (almost) Mother’s Day! (If you had forgotten, that was your subtle reminder to get yourself together before Sunday…you’re welcome!) I was thinking back to this time last year – I was as big as a house and anxiously waiting to meet our sweet baby girl in just a few short days — and now […]
I am a control freak. I am a planner. I am someone who wants to know how it will end up, before I start. I like to know the rules, follow them, and then be happy with my success when it turns out like it should. I like to have knowledge about what I’m doing […]
