I know the importance of perseverance. But day after day, handling physical pain and trying to internally motivate myself to think positive and push through battles and chronic pain can be too much to bear, even for types who bend toward trying to be tough/push through pain/persevere.

Craving coffee today, but I was determined to go on a bike ride and stick to tea. The kids and I had a lovely bike ride in nice 50 degree weather. It was just what we needed! Thankful to be with my kids and thankful to make memories together as we go through this Advent […]
Gratitude
Tonight, as I baked chocolate chip cookies and got ready for our move, I contemplated what makes me truly happy: tonight, I am so thankful for Jesus, always longing to press into Him deeper. But I am on a path towards Him, noticing Him, hearing Him, filled up by Him and just so very thankful […]

Love
The Lord is teaching me how to love. He is helping me lay down my life. He is pulling out roots of bitterness and chains of selfishness. In this way, I can be more like Him! Serving and loving the way He loves is the greatest fulfillment I can have in this life. May the […]
