This guest blog is written by one of my dear mentors from Washington, Arlene Koski. God started knitting our hearts together shortly after I met Arlene. I quickly asked her to mentor me, knowing I was desperate for connections with people further along in their walk with the Lord. Her reply? "Yes, but only if … Continue reading Tug of War

Provision for the Path
I was recently challenged to take my husband on a date and to remember how we met, to think back on our story. To not talk about kids or work, but to reminisce about our journey together. So we did. And God showed me so much along the way. We have had some beautiful fall … Continue reading Provision for the Path

Face the Pain

Today, I'd love to share just a glimpse of what He's put on my heart. I pray it encourages you to dig deeper! "Come to … Continue reading The Yoke on Me
When it’s Hard to Love (part 2)
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)
