My most-read blog to date was published on April 27, 2016. Ironically, it was probably my hardest blog to publish. It's the raw and real, a topic that's not really discussed, something I've struggled with for the better part of motherhood. I wish I could tell you that three years have passed and I've mastered … Continue reading When it’s Hard to Love (part 2)

The Father Who Sees
I've been reflecting on the heart and character of God, one attribute at a time. He gave me a new song months ago, more of an anthem maybe, that declares He is the Father who hears, sees, knows, cares, heals and loves. It's really repetitive but it usually comes to mind when there's an instrumental … Continue reading The Father Who Sees

I was swirling and whirling into frustration … Continue reading On the Other Side of Rely
