To my boys (& any future children that the Lord may bless us with)... There's really not adequate words to describe how I much I love being your mommy. I look at each of you, and am completely humbled. I'm humbled that the Lord has entrusted you to your daddy and me. You are precious… Continue reading A Letter to My Boys

My recent post was more of a "processing" one.  It was the result of me coming home after a busy Wednesday and just needing to process missing my mom, how the Lord is still good in the midst of it all.  Technically, this post is a follow up to my last one, because the Lord… Continue reading What Cancer Gave Me- The Lesson of What Matters.

On August 2, 2012, cancer took one of the best people in my life from me, my mom.  Some might say that my mom "lost her battle" with cancer.  And I totally get the intent behind this phrase, but to be honest, I am not a fan of this wording.  Because my mom really lost… Continue reading What Cancer Gave Me.

The Lord was so sweet to use a crazy Sunday to encourage me with Truths regarding motherhood and serving in the local church (you can read that Here). But as soon as I clicked "post", He kept encouraging my heart in more ways regarding serving in this season of motherhood. I'm taking classes through Southeastern's… Continue reading Ministry in This Season of Motherhood- Being a Sender.

My husband and I have been in student ministry since 3 weeks before we said “I do”. Being a youth pastor’s wife is the only thing that I’ve ever known, and it’s been a wonderful adventure of seeing God at work. I jumped in with both feet as a youth pastor’s wife. I love students… Continue reading Serving in this Season of Motherhood.

I'm not a health nut by any means.  I love ice cream and chocolate a little too much, but from what I hear, a healthy way to live is to have a balanced diet.  Did you know that the same should go for us spiritually as well?  I like to say it as "a healthy… Continue reading From Milk to Solid Food.

In the days leading up to Easter, I prayed that my boys would know the true meaning of Easter.  I love the family time, egg hunts, and egg dying parts of Easter, but truly, my heart's deepest desire is for my boys to know that Easter is more than just a Sunday that I convince… Continue reading Living Out Easter.

I love Easter. I love how everyone is so focused on Christ and talking about the events of Holy Week. Honestly, it's a nice change of pace from some of the usual things that are on social media. But as I scrolled through all of the Palm Sunday posts, a burden grew in my heart.… Continue reading Savior AND Lord.

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… Continue reading Overwhelmed? Seek First.

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,… Continue reading The Identity Crisis- It’s Not Just for Teenagers.
