Purpose doesn’t go to work; it goes to love. I turn 25 this year. Still young, only halfway through my twenties. Somehow I’ve managed to jam a whole lot of life in a few short years, making my twenties feel incredibly longer than they have been. It leaves me feeling burned out. Doubtful. Questioning.

The Postpartum Funk
It’s been a long four months. It’s hard to explain to someone who doesn’t have any kids, sometimes even harder to explain to those who are years outside of first having kids. I got in a funk this time after having a baby. I’ve had three babies, three totally different experiences in parenthood. For someContinue reading “The Postpartum Funk”

Through him [Jesus] we received both the generous gift of his life and the urgent task of passing it on to others who receive it by entering into obedient trust in Jesus. You are who you are through this gift and call of Jesus Christ! Romans 1:5-6, The Message Do you every wonder that? WhoContinue reading “Modern Day Woman: Who Are You?”
Modern Day Woman: Say It!
I keep playing the same song over and over on repeat this morning. I heard it the other day while driving in the car by myself. I was on my way home, feeling like the day had completely destroyed me with all of the frustrations. This song came on the radio, and I cried andContinue reading “Modern Day Woman: Say It!”
