We watched a sermon from our church lately and it was very convicting. It talked about ownership. It talked about prayer. It talked about Preparing. It talked about Persevering. These are all the things that Queen Esther did in the book of Esther. There was a tipping point and she had to make a very […]
Dreams…
Today has been a day of longing for me. Longing to give it all up and follow Him. I have that urge a lot. But, oftentimes, He tells me, you are right where I want you at this moment. I wonder if there will come a time. But, I’ve come to know that it is […]
Strong Woman.
What makes a strong woman? I’ve been considering it for a bit…The proverbs 31 woman is pretty strong! I’m going to list a few characteristics of what makes a strong woman to me right now…: *Turns to and Trusts the Lord wholeheartedly with everything *Relies on the Lord for her strength *Lives for one audience […]
Place of Shelter
God has done a work in me! The other morning, I read some verses in Psalms that made me realize what a work He has done. God has transformed the desert for me from a place of temptation, spiritual attack, trial, longing, and grieving into a place of shelter. I see the beauty all around me of His […]

Hannah’s story (continued)…
Here’s a long awaited update on Hannah’s braces! 🙂 We went to see what kind of braces Hannah will need, and thankfully, the doctor decided she would need a less intrusive kind of brace called an s.m.o. I was trying to picture a ‘just-learning-to-walk toddler’ in new braces…and really wondering what that would look like. […]
Leadership
Brian and I are learning all about lessons in leadership in a series at our church called “King Me.” It is an amazing church…so focused on speaking truth…bodly, lovingly, gently, but unapologetically. I love that. It is the truth that sets us free…and it is beautiful. I have struggled with the application of leadership a bit in my […]
My joyful 3 1/2 year old :-)
Ok, I have to brag a bit on my son here 🙂 I have been in awe of what God is doing in Lewis’ heart lately….How much of a transformation there has been in both of us….How much God has taught him and me. I am so thankful to have had Lewis as my firstborn son. […]
