It's been hard around here lately. But like I said before, we were digging in and trusting God for the outcome. And He's sent just a slew of little blessings today that are just overwhelmingly heart warming. It's jackhammer day in the basement, and it's so nice to see that space becoming clean and healthy … Continue reading Sunshine Follows Rain
God Speaks
Christians know and cherish the story of Elijah hiding in the mountains, waiting for God to speak to him. The Almighty's voice was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. He was in a still small voice. This is sometimes used to promote disciplines of silence and solitude, meditation on Scripture, or cultivate … Continue reading God Speaks
My “Jacob” Life
24 Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob’s hip socket as they wrestled and dislocated his hip. Genesis 32:24-25 Jacob is one of the most personally relatable people in the Bible for me. Not the whole … Continue reading My “Jacob” Life
I Hate Being a Millennial Christian
Hate is a strong word... Let's use disdain instead. I hate disdain being labeled a millennial Christian. Why? Good grief, where do I start? The Millennial generation is the most self-victimized generation in decades. We've coined terms like "triggered" "safe-space" "selfie" "white privilege" "body shaming" and any number of endless "phobias" Millennials are chiefly responsible … Continue reading I Hate Being a Millennial Christian
Humility and Obedience: My Experience with Christian Head Covering
I'll preface this post with a statement that it contains my personal convictions. A conviction is like an opinion, but with the added weight of Scriptural support and motivation toward heart change. As such, it is a matter of my personal relationship with God through Christ, and my best understanding of Scripture. I first began … Continue reading Humility and Obedience: My Experience with Christian Head Covering
Sufficient Grace: Update
My niece is out of surgery now. They fused C1 and C2 vertebrae, performed a bone graft, and she has use of all her limbs. She'll be in a brace for 3 months, but praise God, she is beginning her road to recovery. God is faithful! Thank you, God, that you hear the prayers of … Continue reading Sufficient Grace: Update
Taking a Break for Family Time
We've got a pretty seriously injured Papa on the homestead, so we're taking a break from posts for a bit to focus on helping him heal up. By God's grace, the situation was not nearly as bad as it could have been. My husband is feeling well so far, and is in good spirits. We've … Continue reading Taking a Break for Family Time
When my Faith Feels Hypocritical
I have to admit defeat and confess my weaknesses. Today I sucked at being a compassionate mom. The only boast I have in my parenting after today is that I kept my kids alive. (Joking, I'm joking... Well sort of...) I had a prenatal appointment that was rescheduled from my last terrible, horrible, no good, … Continue reading When my Faith Feels Hypocritical
You’ll Have 3 Under 3!?
In my high school years, I never understood the desire for motherhood. Partially because of how my mother and father's marriage crumbled and disintegrated into a steaming pile of brokenness devoid of integrity. It made me a bit of a cynic regarding wifedom and motherhood. Flash forward to 23 year old me, I'd been married … Continue reading You’ll Have 3 Under 3!?
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
