I firmly believe there comes a point (or points) in all of our lives where we realize that life isn't going to turn out the way we had always planned it. That moment for me came when Mom was diagnosed with (and passed away from) brain cancer. You see, like most people, I had a… Continue reading When Life Doesn’t Go Your Way (Part 1)

The One Resolution You Need to Make
How crazy is it that tomorrow is the last day of 2014?! This is the time of year that people usually tend to reflect on the good/bad of the year that is about to leave us, and plan and wish for things to come in the year that's ahead. Typically, people begin planning their New… Continue reading The One Resolution You Need to Make
Peanut Butter/Caramel Cup Cookies
It's that time of year where there are lots of parties and celebrations happening. These are so fun, but they usually require you to bring some food to share with everyone.

I have been a mommy for 5 months as of about a week ago. The Lord has used those 5 months to grow me and teach me in ways that I never could have imagined.

In the past 12 weeks, I've experienced your typical mommy struggles: spit up, dirty diapers, no sleep, fussiness, etc. I was prepared for these struggles. People warned me about these things. However, one mommy struggle I wasn't really prepared for was how hard… Continue reading Confessions of a New Mom

The Cow’s Tail
It's been a while since I posted one of Mom's devotions, so I thought I would share one tonight. This is one she shared with my varsity cheerleading squad my senior year of high school. Yes, she was speaking to high school cheerleaders here, but I think it's a lesson we all need to hear… Continue reading The Cow’s Tail
Honesty & Renewal.
It's time for me to be honest. I think sometimes we Christians get so guilty of "faking it." Even when we're struggling spiritually, having one of those seasons where we just don't feel God like we used to, etc., we feel the need to put on our smile, and act like everything is okay. I… Continue reading Honesty & Renewal.
