The last three years have been _____________. Fill in the blank. So many adjectives can go here, much like Mad Libs. Freeing. Difficult. Beautiful. Challenging. Redemptive. Soul-crushing.

Thrilled to Be Here
My kids are growing up too fast. I’ve been saying that for at least 15 years. One of them recently got her driver’s license, started a job, and attended a college preview day. She reminded me that next Christmas will be her last before she graduates high school. Selah. It’s wild how much you can … Continue reading Thrilled to Be Here

They're inconveniences. The destination is the same, and we know the normal route is quicker, and yet someone somewhere decided to close the road. Last week I had … Continue reading Beauty in the Detour
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
