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

One foot … Continue reading One Foot in Front of the Other
Peace Over Panic
Today was a stormy day for me, in more ways than one. Literal, figurative, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual... lots of storms. I spent the afternoon in a waiting room, surrounded by severe thunderstorm watches and warnings. In an effort to be prepared, I was completely panicked instead. And so, I began to fix my eyes … Continue reading Peace Over Panic
They’ve been there all along.
Let me introduce you to my friend, Emily Fields! I love the story of how we met! It was February of 2017, and Beth Moore was hosting LIT, an event for women in their 20's and 30's with "fire in their bones to teach, speak, or write." My husband accompanied me from Seattle to Houston, … Continue reading They’ve been there all along.
