Stillness in a Small World

February 2017 began an immense moment of stillness in my life. I don’t know about you all, but social media hit a sore spot for me this year. I stopped liking it so much when I witnessed a lot of people abusing the power of their own opinion. I liked it more when it felt likeContinue reading “Stillness in a Small World”

Run, Girl

“Stay in your lane.” My friend and I have a thing. We’re always telling each other, “I love running in my lane next to you,” because more often than not, we are always running towards similar, God-driven goals, surrounded by our families, both made up of three boys a piece. Running next to someone whoContinue reading “Run, Girl”

How To: Be Who You Always Wanted to Be

It’s how I am. I am an even-keel person. I like evenness. I like knowing that everyone likes each other, andContinue reading “Unfiltered Talks with the Lord”

Gracious Space & Honest Thoughts

For the first time ever, I felt like I needed to do it all. And if I couldn’t do it all, then I should probably give up. This time last year, I was excited about the headway I was making in my life. I set goals that I accomplished over time, which was exciting afterContinue reading “Gracious Space & Honest Thoughts”

Candid Motherhood

I was one of those women who silently judged moms in grocery stores. I would walk through the store with my cart and hear a child a few aisles over throwing a fit over something. And I vowed to myself that I would never have children like that. “Get your act together, Mom over there.Continue reading “Candid Motherhood”
