“Everything’s good but my brain. The usual,” I told my friend when she asked how I was doing this week in our Mom group chat. “I think this is just how my life is going to be now,” I said. Hopelessness wasn’t the right word for this sentiment. It was more of a sad resolve….

One Hundred and One
Last night as I was trying to sleep, I had an overwhelming feeling of panicky failure. I had seen this instagram account that involved her children in a variety of Bible based crafts and lessons. “We haven’t discipled the kids well enough,” I said to my husband who was trying to sleep. He had been…
If He is Risen
I wasn’t sure how to answer the recent question, “Will there be possums in Heaven?” “There better not be?” doesn’t seem fitting. Her heaven would be full of possums. “Will we sleep in heaven?” “I hope so!” would be my thought. “Please no!” would be hers. If so, she wants to share a bunk bed…
Tips For Sharing Your Faith (Part 2)
A few months ago, I shared a post about how sharing the Gospel was an area of struggle for me. Through that struggle and many mistakes along the way, I have learned a few simple steps that have made the process easier and less stressful. Because it IS the most joyous news in the world…why…
Staying in the Word this Summer
Somehow the more time I have on my hands, the less I am in the Bible. A huge part of this due to being out of my routine. Like a toddler on a tight sleep and nap schedule, when things change or my routine is interrupted, I find myself in all kinds of panic when…
Our Great Debate Topics in Marriage (And Why They Don’t Matter)
Something I didn’t know about my husband before we got married is that he will not kill bugs; instead, he sets them free. I never imagined I would be living in some sort of wildlife preserve, but alas, Max just carefully removed a giant stink bug from my Kate Spade purse, opened our front door…
My Struggle with Sharing the Gospel: Part 1
As a kid, I took my job of sharing my faith very seriously, and with the finesse and tact of a bull in a China shop. In third grade, I told my very best friend at the time that if she didn’t read her Bible, she was going to hell. I’m sure there was a…
Lessons Through My Kitchen Tile
Recently I have been fixated on how much I can’t stand our kitchen tile. The tile is a shade of white that never looks clean. The grout between the oversized tiles is uneven, discolored and dirty. Since it is light in color, every speck of dirt, ground of coffee and morsel of food shows up…
The View From Knollview Street
I live on Knollview Street. A few weeks ago, my husband was in Arizona so I spent some time alone in the house. I actually enjoyed the quiet. Don’t misunderstand that- the house was not quiet because Max was not there to talk; the house was quiet because Max was not there for me to…
Counting Chins: 3 Years Later
Today marks the 3 year anniversary of blogging on this website. If that wasn’t exciting enough, tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of the first time I ever met my husband. It’s a big week for me. SO much has changed in 3 years. For starters, to the relief of all my friends and family,…
Count Your Blessings, Not Your Chins.
