I recently posted about wanting a long-term memory of the Lord’s faithfulness. I want Him to give me eyes to see markers of His faithfulness and who He is in the mundane of my every day life. And you know what? Jesus has done this. He is doing this. I walk in my kitchen, and…

I’m pretty sure that the phrase “Jesus is faithful” (or something like it) is on 99% of my posts.  That’s the theme that has resounded over and over again in my life- in Mom’s sickness, in becoming a teacher, in motherhood, and so much more. What does it mean exactly for Jesus to be faithful?…

Potty training.  It’s going to be the end of me.  Those “no fail potty train your kid in 2 seconds” pins on Pinterest have failed me.  I was praying (okay, begging) that this potty training thing would click when the Lord gently reminded me that this whole potty training thing was consuming my thoughts.  Potty…

I write a lot about my mom around here.  I miss her like crazy, and the person that my mom was and what she went through was and is something that the Lord uses so much to teach me.  But I want to take a moment as we approach Father’s Day and brag on my…

Confession: God’s Word used to intimidate me a little bit. I grew up in church and accepted Christ as Savior at a young age, so I was very familiar with the Bible, but when it came to just me + God’s Word, I was intimidated. It just seemed so big to me. I thought I…

It’s been a little over a year since I packed up my classroom and said goodbye to teaching. So, I’ve officially been a stay at home mom for one year (you can read more about my journey to this point here).  I look back on this year, and all I can really say is that God…

I had an absolutely wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday.  My husband cooked me breakfast.  My boys gave me sweet gifts.  We spent the afternoon at the lake and the evening grilling out in our backyard with our families.  It was a sweet day. Yet, all day yesterday, I was a little sad.  Honestly, ever since my…

Mother’s Day is upon us, so naturally, I’ve had my mom on my mind so much lately.  A lot of people know my mom for her organizing and planning skills, but for me, my mom taught me so much more than how to correctly use an Excel spreadsheet.  A while ago, I wrote Lessons from Mom where I…

So, it’s time for you (or your child) to choose a college.  I’ve never been there as a parent, but I’ve been there as a student.  Since I taught high school for 3 years and my husband is a student pastor, I’ve seen many students and their parents navigate this exciting but also a little…

Hey, friend.  What are you going through today?  I’m not sure where you’re at in life, but I can bet that, unfortunately, you’ve had some storms or you’re right in the middle of one.  If you know anything about me, you know that the biggest storm I’ve weathered so far in my life was when…
