Navigating the College + Career Decision- Helpful Ways My Parents Discipled Me
This post was originally published on Lifeway Girls. Since my children could talk, one of my favorite questions to ask them is, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I love this question, mostly because their answers are so entertaining. In their toddler years, their career aspirations have ranged from Mickey Mouse…

Reflecting on Newlywed Me & What Jesus Has Taught Me About Being a Wife
I cringe when I reflect on newlywed me. I was clueless about cooking, meal planning, taking care of a house, etc. To be honest, my attitude toward these things was selfish. Almost 13 years in, and I’ve apologized to my husband a million times over this. He’s gracious, though, and his graciousness is a reminder…

Finding Christ’s Sufficiency in Motherhood- Mothering Without my Mom
I’ve become a mother 5 times over the past 9 years. Twice in a hospital room with newborn boys placed in my arms. Once in an orphanage with a shy toddler girl. And twice just by two pink lines, indicating lives I’d lose just a few weeks later to miscarriage. Even in the joy of…

Applying the Gospel to Sunday Mornings: The Joy in Chaos
One particular Sunday, I sat down fully dressed for church with a hot cup of coffee. My children were also ready for church on time, and we made it out the door with minimal chaos. It was quite the opposite of how the previous Sunday looked (or how most Sundays look, if I’m honest). Most…

Adoption Update- One Year Home!
One year ago, Jack, Faith, and I landed in Charlotte. We were completely exhausted after over 24 hours of travel. Everything was brand new to Faith, so she mixed in nervousness with her exhaustion. By the time we landed, we spent 2 weeks with Faith in India. This time in-country was valuable to our bonding…

Adoption Update- Family Day!
Today is our Family Day! It’s officially been one year since Faith was placed in our arms, and we were finally a family of 5. As I reflect on this day, I’m in awe of how far Faith and our family has come. All glory to God! I wanted to take a moment today to…
