Awhile back, I remember standing in my kitchen one late-fall morning right after breakfast, watching the morning sun stream in from the windows in the morning room across from me. I felt a warm feeling of contentment; I love that time of day, when my home is just lit up with the beautiful sunshine, warm […]
Hello there, lovely readers! It’s been a minute! I have missed this so much, but in truth, the past two months just haven’t left me much time (or brain cells!) to write — as it is, you will be getting lots of “3am thoughts” from here on out…please forgive my mom brain ramblings 😀 I […]
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 have a confession: I love beautiful things. Colorful landscapes, vibrant sunsets, beautiful clothes, cozy homes, well done decorations, new pretty journals, amazing paintings, fresh-painted nails, even good landscaping – give me all the pretties! When I’m “relaxing” I like to troll Pinterest or Instagram and just look at all the beautiful things that are […]
One of the things I have learned in 2019 is to be careful when you say “I’m not…” or “I don’t…” or “I’d never…”….. Before you know it, God will take those exact things you said you weren’t, didn’t and would never do, and will build you a new identity there, founded in Him, in […]
I do NOT like winter. I think I’ve already written about that like 5 times in the past year…. I hate being cold, I hate being stuck inside, I hate the dreariness of naked trees and brown earth and gray skies. I end up curling up in the corner of the house, hugging mugs of […]
I don’t really tend to read hype-you-up, trendy self help books but now in my old age, my 30’s, I have learned to read the books that offer Christian wisdom based on experience or revelation. I always thought nonfiction, “be better” books were boring, fusty-dusty sleepy reads until I got to a point in my […]
Hey everyone! Happy Friday to you, wherever you are 😊 If you read my recipe post on Tuesday, you read that I just finished my fourth round of the Whole30 challenge! Woot! (and there was much rejoicing!) Actually, if I’m being quite honest, this one wasn’t that hard because I had been keeping most of […]
So it hit me earlier this week how often I say the word “just” when talking to God, or thinking of my situation. Anyone else? “God if you could just provide for this bill.” “God if you could just help me today…” I read once that our “just” prayers are some of the weakest, most […]
So today is my birthday. I debated for awhile about telling you my age or not, and then realized I have no reason not to – am I ashamed of it? And then my weird brain told me, yes, you kind of are, which is ridiculous! I am 32 years old today, and in my […]
