This one is a bit heavy today; if anyone knows me, I absolutely detest confrontation, and am usually buttoned up about all issues political or social because I know what I believe and I simply hate to argue with anyone about it. But these thoughts were so heavy on my mind that I had to […]
My baby girl is about to turn two years old tomorrow!! I tell you what, nothing makes you feel old like seeing time passing by in hyperspeed as kids grow and change right in front of your eyes! In the past two weeks, she’s been potty trained, speaks in some sentences, counts to ten by […]
Faith is a scary and beautiful thing. Here in this house, we are experiencing every day new ways that God is calling us to true faith, and it’s scary, but comfortably safe all at the same time. Walking by faith looks bonkers to the world, and people around you can question your sanity, but if […]
Today, we are talking about death – so much more cheerful than politics and voting, right?! In case you missed it, it’s fall here in the Mid-Atlantic. It’s kind of hard to not think about death during this season because things are dying all around us. It’s beautiful, yes, but they are dying nonetheless. Winter […]
Confession Time: I am fully immersed in fall TV. Ok, not fully, but I do have a short list that I am DVR’ing and keeping up with when I’m at the gym or making dinner, or staying up too late just to say I had some “me” time….even though I know I should be sleeping […]

Ok, this is not a feminist post, I swear. BUT I have always loved the stories of the heroines in the Bible who, whether they realized it or not, changed the course of history. The men were awesome and mighty and faithful as well, but I think its special that God also used women, and […]
Hello! I’m back! We took last week off as our very first “staycation” and I took a vacation from writing….which has carried into this week because I am sitting here looking at this blank page and realizing that I have about 15 thoughts rattling around in my head and none of them are ready to […]
When I was a kid, and even into my teen years, I was pretty independent – “headstrong” and “willful” are some terms you would have used to describe me! I mostly did what I wanted to do without spending too much time thinking of that others might think, or what the consequences would be. My […]
