Friday afternoon, I knelt on my bathroom floor, hands on the bathtub, praying. You know when things happen…and they happen in all the ways you wouldn’t prefer? Friday was that day.

Few Words
I’m just going to be real honest with y’all and get down to the nitty gritty. I’ve got a lot on my heart today that’s keeping me from seeing how good God is. Discouragement is a strong force, and it can pummel even the strongest of souls. I have a lot of words IContinue reading “Few Words”

I might be wearing make up, and I might not have showered for a few days. I don’t spend all day sittingContinue reading “My Couch & The Gospel”
With or Without Us
My son Asa will be six months old in a couple of weeks. Time only seems to be going faster and faster, I can only imagine what it will be like when we have another child. I don’t document every milestone with him like I did for Liam. They say you become much more laxContinue reading “With or Without Us”
