Y'all, March 2019 has NOT been a good month for my family, and its only the 7th. I was in the hospital with vertigo, we've been battling colds, runny noses, ear infections, and viruses left and right it seems. Today we had to make the call to miss a class we've had scheduled for months. [...]

Endurance
I stumbled on my word for 2019 early on Jan 1st, while I was reading my Bible. God has a funny way of bringing things to us when we least expect them. Coffee in hand and worship music playing, just trying to drowned out voices of failure swirling in my head, I opened my Bible [...]
Blessedly Broken
I am shaking as I get ready to share this. I feel COMPLETELY and utterly unqualified, yet called to share. We had always planned on JC having a 20 year military career. When we felt nudged to move home, we told God "There was no way, we could never make ends meet." God clearly had [...]
Surviving the Pain
Its so crazy to think back, as I sit here ready to type from the other side. But, after a few years of walking through what I have often called our dessert place, I think its safe to say we're officially done with that season. Sure, we still have some uncertainties and some hurdles, but [...]
A BUSY MOMMA’S BREAD RECIPE
One of my favorite things is fresh baked bread. I can never wait for the loaves to cool before I slice into them and somehow, it always feels like Christmas morning. The anticipation as I'm cutting in, trying not to squish the still hot bread, wondering did it cook all the way through? After a [...]
ARE YOU BUILDING TABLES OR FENCES?
For as long as I can remember I have loved "old" things. I think that is partially why I have been so drawn to this whole Farmhouse vibe that seems to be so popular nowadays. The idea of simplicity, of having less but doing more, of being intentional, authentic, and hospitable. Growing up, my [...]
A BACK-2-SCHOOL PRAYER
Lord, Please be with my children today as they start school. Help them to grow more & more confident in the abilities you have given them. Help them to remember the values we have tried to instill in them. I pray that they are kind, helpful, respectful, brave & ready to learn today. Please be [...]
EMBRACING GOD’S PLAN WHEN YOURS IS FAILING
For years I have cringed every time someone tried to comfort me with Jeremiah 29:11. Its a great verse, but when you can't see a light at the end of the tunnel, it gets hard to believe. I wanted to ask, HOW? How are you supposed to believe that your husband breaking his back was [...]
FOR THE MOMMA WHO FEELS LIKE SHE DOESN’T DO ENOUGH
With Mother's Day in the rearview mirror & several plates overflowing with activities and responsibilities right now, I have been thinking... ...Mommas, we need to give ourselves some more grace. We need to admit that we cannot do it all, at least not without our sanity suffering! I know, we've all heard it before. Have [...]
GO-TO VERSES FOR WHEN THINGS AREN’T GOING YOUR WAY
What is your go to stress relief when plans change, or your prayers seem to go unanswered? Where do you turn when doubt creeps in or someone says something hurtful? If I'm being honest, too often I turn to social media where I can just turn my mind off and scrollllllll along until I'm ready [...]
