“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…
The Anxiety Train
Not only do I usually ride the “It definitely will not be okay” train, but I often conduct it. There are special stops on the way: The Town of Worst Case Scenarios, Obsession Land, Self Doubt Central, The Village of What Ifs (it is SO easy to get lost there!) and my personal favorite, Replay…
Things I’ve Tried Lately that I’ve Heard People Talking About
I’ve tried a few new things lately and I would like to share with you my thoughts and opinions about each of them. Let’s get to it. Cauliflower Rice Everyone has been talking about Cauliflower Rice. I tried this out of curiosity because I’ve been trying to mix things up in the kitchen, but I…
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…
