I'll be honest friends- I've had a really difficult spring/summer. To combat the awful, I've been throwing myself in to whole heartedly pursuing that which is good, true, and beautiful. Specifically, I've immersed myself in prayer and God's Word. I've listened to beautiful music, I've read wonderful books, and I've done a lot of crafting … Continue reading The Good, The True, The Beautiful
I've been reading through the gospels and in Luke 18, I got to verse 34 and I found myself asking, "why?" Jesus had been up front and exceedingly clear with his disciples throughout the book.

My husband... Where do I start? He's my favorite human being. We've been growing and maturing together since we were 17. And we've come a long way. That's not to say I'm not still learning, quite the opposite actually. He's consistently challenging me and surprising me in ways I hadn't considered and God daily uses … Continue reading Loving Your Husband Well
