It felt strange really, the word that kept coming to mind. Like it didn’t really fit and yet at the same time it made incredible sense. I’ve always thought words should be inspiring or call me out to action, that they should related to personal and business growth (and honestly, most of my words in […]

Over the last two years I’ve experienced a depth of abundant blessing in sharing our journey with you. I’ve seen God weave people (and their stories) into our own in such personal ways and with a richness I believe wouldn’t be there if vulnerability wasn’t present first.  Don’t get me wrong, I believe there’s a […]

It was Monday night and I was about five minutes from caving to a cozy couch and the remaining pages of my book. Asher was asleep, Michael was at a friends house and the rest of the evening was mine to do as I pleased.  But instead of the glorious vision I daydreamed about as […]

You know those times when God catches you during an unexpected, everyday moment and seems to say, “Sweet child, that happened for you.” Well, let me tell you a story from a seemingly ordinary moment just like that from earlier this week… The rhythm of our morning was like it was most every morning. All […]

By the time you’ll read this, it’ll be January 4th. Four days into a new year. New dreams. New goals. New trials. New hardships. New joys. New potential. New paths. But the same God. And that, my friends, brings me overwhelming peace. This year I bought Lara Casey’s Cultivate Powersheets and I’m one hundred percent sold! […]

Jeepers! How long has it been since I’ve written one of these!?! Man oh day! I apologize! For that, as well as the fact that I just used the phrase jeepers. 😉 But I’m not going to lie. It was kind of fun. A lot has happened between now and October. Yes. OCTOBER! (Now I’m a […]

I love fresh starts. New beginnings. Changes. (If you don’t believe me, Michael can vouch that it’s the truth as he witnesses me firsthand decorating and redecorating the house each season….or each time I have a brilliant new idea for our living room!) 😉 So as December 31st of 2016 ended and 2017 began there […]

This afternoon I’m sitting in my office with my overhead light off but my soft lamp light clicked on. My candle is lit next to me…it has been for the last three hours so the warm Fall scents fill my office. The window is open and Moose is standing by it. I think we’re both […]

About a week ago Michael and I were having a movie night (one of our favorite past times)! We were watching The Emperors Club. Curled up on the couch, bowl of popcorn at hand, Maximus snuggled beside us, one of the opening lines went like this, “The end depends upon the beginning.” Then to emphasize the main characters point, he paused and repeated. “The end depends upon the beginning….”

Although the blog has been a little quiet lately, let me tell you our lives have been anything but! (More of that to come soon! Stay tuned!) After a hectic past three weeks (most of what I remember is a crazy blur of working, fixing meals, laundry, traveling, packing, unpacking, more laundry…
