Just a new route
So my goal this year is to read two books a month. That’s not an outlandish goal by any means. But with three kids, it felt like a good goal to me. So far this year this has looked like a chapter or two a night, or I’ll read some in the afternoon. Pretty […]

What’s your never?
These are the areas I’ve struggled the most: the areas I told God “never.” Never would I share, never would I do that, never would I say that, never would I treat someone like that. Never, never, never. My heart was so intentional about saying never. For example, my two year old just cried himself […]

Rewriting Your Story
Two songs that are speaking to my heart right now are Phil Wickham “Till I Found You” and Steffany Gretzinger “Letting Go.” Go Listen! A line in Phil Wickham’s song is “You are rewriting my story.” Man, it’s is singing to my heart right now. Maybe you planned life differently. Maybe you hadn’t really planned […]

Small beginnings
We begin something new. We start, but it doesn’t end the way we think it will. We take a different route. We try a new craft or creative outlet. I like starting new things. But sometimes it gets hard. A new lesson with old feelings attached. I want to start something new, and settle in. […]

Right where you are
Seasons. They come and go. And if we aren’t careful we will be worrying our way to the next one, instead of being right where we are. You may not want to be where you are health wise… career wise… relationship wise… But you are there for a reason, and to wish it away is […]

Gratitude
Oh my gratitude has grown tremendously in this season of life. Gratitude for creation, for small moments, for quiet, for swinging, and reading. Gratitude typically slows me down helping me stay in the moment. I get joy just thinking about all these moments of deep deep gratitude. A lot of those moments have little to […]

Fully Known
You know how your mom, friend or spouse just know you. Like when they buy you the perfect gift or call you at a moment you needed it most. But, sometimes it’s annoying, right? Like Jesse in Full House, when Rebecca had figured Danny out and even when he was trying to do the opposite […]
