Morning by Morning was one of the first ministries to publish my writing. They’re no longer an active site, so I’m excited to share some of my pieces here in my own space. In this internet age, everyone has access at their fingertips to share a quote and claim it as  truth. These phrases are… Continue reading Are We Enough? Comparing This (& others) to the Truth of God’s Word

This season has brought big changes for our household. After 10.5 years of student ministry at New Prospect Baptist, the Lord has called my husband to be a senior pastor at a new church. We loved student ministry, but also felt for some time the Lord shifting both of our hearts toward this new role.… Continue reading Supporting Your Husband- From One Pastor’s Wife to Another

This article was originally published on LifeWay Girls. In August 2012, my mom went to be with Jesus after a battle with brain cancer. That moment forever changed my life in every way, including in the way I view ministry. You see, my mom spent her adult life ministering for the gospel. While she was… Continue reading Moments that Matter- How Mom’s Life Taught Me the Importance of Ministry

This was originally published on The Women around SE Blog. I originally wrote this in 2019, so it does have a few edits from the original publishing. "Lord, where is the Gospel in my homemaking?"

I love this time of… Continue reading Celebrating Christmas, Along with our Unity + Freedom in Christ

We had our first court date on September 3. Court is one of the last huge steps to check off before we can travel to India, because court makes our daughter legally ours. We knew court could be a long process. Our agency prepared us for anywhere from 2-12 months, even warning that 2 months… Continue reading Adoption Update- WE PASSED COURT!

The moment we knew of our children, we began praying for their salvation, for we know this is their greatest need. By God’s grace, He saved Hunter in summer 2020. Before then, Hunter asked lots of salvation-related questions. Even now, Isaac is beginning to ask similar ones. We’ve spoken of the Gospel to our children… Continue reading What Having Children Old Enough to Understand the Gospel Taught Me about the Gospel

Morning by Morning was one of the first ministries to publish my writing. They’re no longer an active site, so I’m excited to share some of my pieces here in my own space.

We received NOC at the end of May, and the next step was to be registered for court and begin the court process. India has a court app where families can see if they’re registered for court, when their next court date is, etc. After NOC, I downloaded the app and began excessively checking it… Continue reading Adoption Update- The Court Process

This was originally published on LifeWay Girls, though there are a few edits with things such as my boys' ages (they were 5 and 3 when I originally wrote this! Time flies!).
