New Chairs

I used to play a lot of soccer back in my day. And by that, I mean I played soccer pretty seriously in middle school. I wasn’t too bad, you know, not exactly the star player by any means. But I really loved it. I planned to play throughout high school, too, but I gave upContinue reading “New Chairs”

A Job, A Dream & Abiding

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Johns 15:16a About three years ago, I told my husband that God had revealed some truth to me about the future for us.

Whether it be through a discipleship/small group or just being intentional about relationships. Lately (as in, the last few years), I have been superContinue reading “Try It. It’s Worth It.”

Remember Your Creator

I adore long weekends with my family. It reminds me of being in school, having summers off, and not having an agenda. We stay up later, we are more spontaneous, we leave the TV off. Time is no object. Joy is ever-present. Laughter is abundant. I’m currently reading through & finishing up Ecclesiastes this week,Continue reading “Remember Your Creator”

A Moment

I talk a lot about my boys here. I dive into some details about my marriage. I get real with you about my life stuff, the stuff that sucks, the stuff that brings joy. I am in the thick of a moment. You know the feeling as you’re going up a roller coaster, the firstContinue reading “A Moment”
