I've been on a modified break from social media, doing my best to spend time with my kids instead of scrolling through highlight reels. I've been showing up a couple times during the week to share encouragement and truth, but have chosen to remain mostly out of the loop. I happened to see a post … Continue reading Learning to Pause

Courage for the Battle
I want to share a quick word of encouragement with you all, something that's been heavy on my heart this week. We're surrounded by people, whether physically (at home or work) or on social media. We have plenty of opportunities to be distracted, discouraged, disappointed, or distraught. In the midst of whatever trouble you're facing, … Continue reading Courage for the Battle

Binding Up The Broken Hearted
It's time for another #guestblog, and it's an honor to bring you this one from Sherilyn Sweeney. We met the Sweeney family when we moved to Sequim, WA in the summer of 2014. My time with Sherilyn was short and sweet, but I am forever grateful for her friendship. I have such fond memories of … Continue reading Binding Up The Broken Hearted
