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 […]

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 […]

I take a deep breath and look back at the past twelve months… Most days I can hardly believe that it’s been real. Oh how vast is the love of the Lord and how full His blessings! This time last year we weren’t even live on the adoption list….and as I sit here and write […]

I love the space between the end of a year and the beginning of the next. It’s like this tiny breath of remembering what was and anticipating what will be. Each year has looked so vastly different, but the common strand connecting them all are the whispers of thankfulness to the Lord during these moments […]

I knew from the start of the year that I wanted to learn about and begin a mailing list! As I’ve begun getting into my rhythm, the realization hit me that the purpose of my newsletter is twofold. 1) Informational The first week of every month I send out an email to those who are […]

One of my favorite parts about mine and Michael’s evenings is after we’re done eating dinner. The candle is usually burning (and Moose has normally stopped begging by now).

If you’ve been following for a while now, you’ll remember that this year I’ve been going through Lara Casey’s Cultivate Powersheets in setting good goals and the practical steps to doing so! (If you missed my word of the year & beginning of the story CLICK HERE!) With each start to a new month, the […]

If we could sit down together right now, hands grasped to oversized mugs filled with warm lattes (and lets be honest, mine probably has a bit too much whip cream on top) and we got to know each other face to face–there are a few things I’m certain you’d come to find out about me… […]

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! […]

Today our hearts are fixed on thankfulness. We recall people who have influenced our lives, events that have shaped us and journeys that have brought us to the place we find ourselves now. We think, remember, then share what fills us with gratitude this day…. And it is good. But as I’ve been thinking and […]
