Summer is right around the corner! Summer can be the perfect season to rest, relax, and refresh… Ministries often take a break during the summer months, leaving us with extra time on our hands.

To the Christian Who Feels Abandoned
Have you ever felt abandoned by someone? That feeling creeps in, that feeling of being overlooked, left out, forsaken… Chances are that person didn’t mean to make you feel that way, but you feel it anyway. There have been quite a few seasons of my life where I have felt abandoned. Alone. Left behind. I’m … Continue reading To the Christian Who Feels Abandoned
{Spiritual} Heart Surgery
(I have missed blogging! We bought our first home and it has been a busy month of packing, moving and unpacking! But we’re all settled now and I’m hoping to post on a regular basis again!)

She talked about doing things because you're loved, not doing things to get love. It was a total perspective shift for me, one that I'm still wrestling through. I don't have to do things … Continue reading Am I Convinced?
Outnumbered
Simply put: my husband and I are outnumbered. We have four {amazingly incredible, sometimes slightly crazy and/or loud} children. 🙂 Sometimes when you’re outnumbered, you get overwhelmed. At least I do. Especially when we go out in public together as a family of six. You’re trying to hold everyone’s hand and keep an eye on … Continue reading Outnumbered
