Once again, God has used my children to speak to me. And once again, it's about broken things. And once again, I'm just going to share my heart openly with you. I used my daughter's curtains for a wedding last weekend and we just got them out of the car yesterday. She brought them to [...]

Who Jesus Is
*HONEST POST WARNING* There will come a point in your life when you don't know what to do. My husband and I both like to know stuff. I like to have a plan, to know what's going to happen next. My husband likes to know he's always right. Haha. We're both stubborn. Last night, we [...]
When They’re All Gone: A Tribute to Bro. A.C. Durham
He signed my Bible with Philippians 1:12: But I would you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; As a little girl I wondered at that verse. Surely there was a more poetic one? Or at least one that could bring you [...]
Confessions of a recovering Mommy Perfectionist
Happy Mother's Day this coming Sunday to all you wonderful mothers out there! I hope you get pampered and get to relax this weekend. But honestly, you probably won't. Because you're a mama. And even if we get pampered, we still can't relax. I thought I'd lighten it up a little bit and admit some [...]
When Fear Isn’t Real
My daughter fell on some rough concrete yesterday and scraped her arm up pretty good. Once we got her settled down, she immediately started telling me all the things she didn't want to do. I don't want to take a shower, it'll burn. Please don't put anything on it, it'll hurt. Help me take my [...]
Palm Sunday Christians
I am so unprepared for Easter this year. It's this Sunday! I've been reading about the triumphant entry of Christ through the city of Jerusalem. I remember making Palm branches as a child in Sunday School, learning about the colt Jesus borrowed to ride into the city, and making little tombs out of paper plates. [...]
Missed Opportunities
I wrote this post late last night with the intention of scheduling it for next Thursday. But this morning, I can't get it off my heart. I woke up singing the song. And I'm praying that maybe by the time this day rolls around again next week, I'll take my own advice. March 21st. It's [...]
Stacked Up Complaints
I have no life changing revelation to share today. Nothing to say that you don't already know. But I need to say this out loud. Because the doubt and worry is so loud in my head, I'm afraid it might get lost. Count your blessings. We sing the song, we see the encouraging quotes, we [...]
Misplaced Hope
"Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12 Deferred - to put off to a later time; prolong; delay We live with a lot of hopes. I hope it's gonna snow. I hope traffic isn't bad. (And it always IS!!) I hope I get [...]
That Same God
At the beginning of last year, I was feeling better than I had in a long time. I was looking forward to doing so many things I hadn't been able to do. I made plans, had dreams. And then about the middle of January, those were all crushed. I progressively got worse and worse. 2018 [...]
