There is an amazing thing that happens when I start, finish and intersperse the day with prayer – my day is filled with peace, gratitude, strength, patience and abiding joy. Life things still happen – there are a bunch of little kids here, after all 藍 – but the underlying joy and strength that change […]
I was standing there, looking in the mirror. Maybe you other mamas can relate, but in that moment, I was overwhelmed as I saw all of my flaws – my belly, that not so long ago was rounded out and twice quite literally bursting with life, now just there and sort of limp. My teeth, […]
My Christmas doodle this year! Maybe it’s the fact that I’m just coming out of the newborn season, or maybe it’s that I have so many loved ones expecting this year, but every time I have heard or seen the phrase “buon Natale” this year, it has stuck out to me and made me think […]
Ok, so has anyone else ever had theological revelations while reading the Child’s Bible? It hit me the other day as my daughter and I were reading her Bible stories, that there are some deep truths in the story of Noah that I have completely glossed over. As I finished up with her reading, I […]
I announced to you all last post that we are expecting our second child! I am so very excited, but I will be bluntly honest and just say its much different the second time around! I took all the steps to prepare for this pregnancy, and was fit and healthy with good habits in place, […]
Hey everyone! Long time, no post! But that is because I made a promise awhile ago that I was only going to write when I was ready to say what God wanted me to say, so this time, its taken a bit longer to figure that out, and as a result, this is a belated, […]

And as a plus, equations where “pleasing God” is the final […]
I had such a vivid example of childlike faith last week. I was in the car with my curly girl, and we were on a little roadtrip on our day off. On the way back, it was beyond naptime, so she dozed off in her carseat in about 30 seconds. (I remember car naps being […]
Hey y’all, I’m back! Happy October! If you missed it, I wrote last month that I was going to take the month of September off to have a little end of summer sabbatical to rest, seek God and spend time with my family. I am so excited to be back, but I LOVED taking a […]
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.
