There are certain things that are important in the life of Christians and among them is testimony- stories of God's faithfulness in our lives. This is super important for a few reasons: 1.) Helps us remember God is on His heavenly throne and is an act of worship to God (Exodus 14:31-15:18) 2.) Keeps us focused … Continue reading The Importance of Testimony
Ain’t Got No Ink On Me
I have been wanting a tattoo since before my son was born. My sisters both have ink, my mom has ink, my aunt has ink, all of them have stories to tell as well. My sis has a new one that says "Beautiful Disaster," because she is frequently well put together on the outside but … Continue reading Ain’t Got No Ink On Me
The Reset
Finally knowing what was wrong with my body gave me a foundation on which to build back my health. I was allergic to egg yolks, brewers yeast, corn, wheat, gluten and a whole host of environmental allergens, not the least of which were the azalea bushes that lined the walk in front of my house. … Continue reading The Reset
Apple Juice, Blanket Forts, and Coloring Books
One of my biggest assumptions in being a parent was that I really needed to grow up before I brought a child into the world. Sitting on my couch in my Snuggie™ coloring in a Disney coloring book with my box of 164 crayons, drinking a glass of apple juice, I told myself, "wow, you're … Continue reading Apple Juice, Blanket Forts, and Coloring Books

Biblical Gender Roles in Marriage: Part One
Submission. That is probably the singular most difficult word for a strong-willed woman like myself to read in the Bible. I have ignored it, loathed it, and questioned it. But it's still there. I'm strong, independent, outspoken, tom-boyish, and blunt. How do I get around that "S" word? Simple. I don't. There is no God-honoring … Continue reading Biblical Gender Roles in Marriage: Part One
Spiritual Apathy
I was texting my sister-in-law as I frequently do and we ended up discussing those moments where we just feel hazy; disconnected. And she asked the convicting question, "should I ever feel that way? Should I ever feel detatched like that?" And it got me thinking. The reality of those times happening in the life … Continue reading Spiritual Apathy
I Can Pick My OWN Nose, Thank You!
There are so many things I say now as a mother of a 9-month-old boy that I never imagined would leave my mouth. Here are some of the more weird ones: "Outlets are for plugs, not your fingers." "No, kiss Daddy's face, not slap it!" "Stop licking the dog's mouth!" "Spit out that fur!" (He … Continue reading I Can Pick My OWN Nose, Thank You!
How I Study the Bible
There are three main things I try to keep in focus as I come into a time of devotion each day. The first is humility before God. I go into my study time recognizing that I do not deserve the gift of salvation I have been given. That's what makes grace so scandalous! Had we … Continue reading How I Study the Bible
The Change
With some help from my husband, I eventually recognized that my lifestyle was not super healthy and I knew I was not feeling my best. I made a commitment to get fit while my husband was deployed.
