Try It. It’s Worth It.

This year started with some crazy ideas. One, starting a new blog (this one!) to replace my old one. I like this place I’ve made here. Two, connecting with other women. 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”

Clock Out

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the works of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 The works of the Lord. I’ve been trying to put in more hours than I can handle. Today, IContinue reading “Clock Out”

Red Balloons for Ryan

My heart is heavy today. My Instagram feed has been buzzing with the sad news of a family’s loss, a three and a half-year-old, curly, red-headed sweet face gone from this world. I don’t know the family, but I do know the same God from whom they seek strength. Praise be to the God andContinue reading “Red Balloons for Ryan”
