I said it in a recent post, but I feel that it’s worth mentioning again, parenting is HARD.  I mean, these babies are born literally dependent on us for everything.  I remember when they told my husband and me that it was time to take Hunter home from the hospital.  We were both thinking, “Are…

I’m saying goodbye to the role of being a cheer coach.  If you know me, you know that cheerleading has been a big part of my life for a long time.  Saying goodbye is bittersweet.  But as I step away, I can’t help but think back to my days of when I was a cheerleader,…

Let’s all agree, parenting is HARD.  That’s probably the most obvious statement of the year.  I’ve been a parent for almost 4 years, and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no expert.  All I really know is that my deepest desire for my kids is for them to know Jesus as their Savior…

Yesterday, one of the most influential men to the Christian faith went home to be with the Lord.  You might live under a rock if you didn’t hear the news of Billy Graham’s passing.  Social media was filled with his quotes yesterday, which to be honest, was a nice change of pace from the usual. …

Okay, so you’re with me on that searching for God’s will has a lot more to do with abiding in the Vine and a lot less to do with treasure maps (if you have no idea what I’m talking about, click here).  But I also know that just telling you to abide by being in…

I see you sitting in your dorm.  You’re trying to pick a major.  How are you supposed to know what you want to do for the rest of your life? You see that lady who is a few steps ahead of you in life- maybe she has a career, maybe she’s a mom. You look…

At the start of 2018, one of my new favorite Instagram accounts (@wellwateredwomen) issued a #Wordbeforeworld challenge.  Essentially, it’s a challenge to put the Word of God before the world.  The Lord used this challenge to lead me to take on Scripture memory, by memorizing a verse from each book of His Word.  He led…

2017 is coming to a close, and like most people, I really can’t believe it. In 2017, we’ve learned how to answer 1000 questions a day from our 3 year old and how to keep our one year old out of the Christmas candy. We’ve laughed a lot too, thanks to our crazy boys. We’ve…

We have had SO much fun this Christmas with our boys!  Our 3 year old has looked at his “Christmas list” (the Toys R Us magazine) so much that it’s falling apart.  Our 1 year old is currently running around in Santa PJs, and it’s adorable.  We’ve looked at Christmas lights, gathered with family and…

We hung the felt Christmas tree the day we decorated our real tree. “Can I decorate it now?” Our 3 year old kept asking. His felt tree has 25 felt ornaments. Each ornament has a Scripture on it that deals with Jesus and His birth. The idea is to start December 1, and put on…
