So much of my drive in life comes from having some sort of purpose. We all long for a fulfilling role to play in the stage of life. I love my role as mother and always have, however I feel an absence of a role I used to play. Feeling a bit knocked out of […]

What gives us hope in our lives? A promise for an easier life? A better life? A close relationship? A great opportunity? I have to remind myself that Christ Jesus is the greatest hope I can have, to be joyful and certain of my salvation, to cling to His promises, and to stake my life […]

A phrase said often…and really coined at my alma mater…is so easy to say, but so hard to do. Restraint, self-control, and selflessness are qualities that help us through moments of temptation. Ultimately, our self worth will be upheld and we’ll come forth with our concrete values intact and not compromised. Come what may…even if […]

It’s important to have days of rest where you can just focus on a few things…and do them well. Today was that for me. Watching my neighbor’s son, being obedient to Christ in little ways of responding, caring. So much of my life is built on little things. I was thinking about sailboats today as […]

Words from a well known song…although I truly doubt them at this stage in my life. Recently I felt a longing for something..the desire/longing began to feel overwhelming.

It is in our deepest moments, our deepest pains, deepest joys, deepest regrets, that we learn about Jesus. His love for us, His plan for us, His sovereignty, His truth, …His sacrifice for us. This is how I’ve come to know Jesus. Through suffering, pain, hardship, and the greatest joys of my life…even through my […]

I find myself tested every single day. Tempted and tested. Harassed. Insulted, put down, and minimized. However, deep inside, I know I am made for much more. I find it imperative to remember not only what God says about me, but also what God calls me to be. Humble above all else. But, not shaken. […]

Tonight I was thinking about a few things. One, that I am so thrilled to have the amazing kids I have. I can barely believe they are mine sometimes. I also was deep in thought about being refocused on “doing,” and asking God for vision to set new goals. As we begin homeschooling, I will […]
