I’m loving the cooler temps in Central California!!! (The majority of our highs have been over 100° since we moved here… 90° has never felt so nice!) This month has been a little crazy for our family with some quarantines and isolating.

The Father Who Knows

We would have some time for check-ins with the typical “how are you?” and “how can we pray for you?” but I quickly saw a pattern emerge. … Continue reading How Are You – Really?
Beauty All Around
I'm bringing you my first blog as a California resident. (Insert happy dance!) The past few weeks have been a blur of packing, cleaning, driving, hotel stays, unpacking, and organizing. There have been highs and lows, lasts and firsts, bittersweet good-byes and a refreshing new start. On our five-day journey from Washington to Pennsylvania four … Continue reading Beauty All Around
