An invitation
A friend is beginning a new Bible study. She said she is planning on the study to step on her toes and make her run to Jesus. Well that’s novel. It strikes me as novel anyway because I don’t typically enter into things looking for a race with injured toes. I don’t hope for my…

The care and feeding of a mother.
I love Mother’s Day. It’s a bit of pampering and sweet crafts from my babies. It means I don’t cook at all that day and I really love that. Mother’s Day is a major emphasis on the love and work of a mother and it comes just once a year. Once. A. Year. The work…

Guest blogger: Shelley Lee
Allow me to introduce you to someone I have known since I was about 10 years-old. Shelley Lee is brave, honest and a seeker of truth. She has many roles: wife, author, mom to 4 boys, and grandma to one sweet girl (with another grandchild on the way!). I have crafted with her, laughed with…

In response to: I want all the perks of maternity leave.
I posted an article to my Facebook page and there was quite a conversation that followed. I shared the article about Meghann Foye who believes that she should get a maternity leave even though she doesn’t have kids. She thinks that women without children should get the opportunity for space and time for self-reflection just…

I see you.
Sometimes I fight the thought that who I am and what I do is not so special, not significant and not enough. Do you fight that fight too? When I am feeling less than, I am happy to stand at the back, to be the one behind scenes, to sit and wallow a bit. I…

Impatient
I am not perfect. I muddle, I trip, I fall. My imperfections are obvious to the one I call mine. He strives to overcome the struggles that are uniquely his, while I trip over the hurdles in my own life. We are sometimes impatient with the progress that the other is not making. I see…

Spring.
I checked out the scene in the backyard while the dog did her thing and was shocked from my apathy by a sprout of green! I see spring! The Search for Signs of Spring 2016 has begun! This annual event was started by my mom many years ago. “Girls! Look! I see green!…

Seek the Sun
I wrote this a year ago. I do not think it is a coincidence that this is the first article that I have had published. I believe God was showing me that he was doing something in me and and that I needed to trust him. I am thankful to be in a different spot a…

Holiness in the Midst of a Mess
Christmas is all about celebrating the birth of Jesus. The birth of our Redeemer and the birth of Hope. The birth of a baby is beautiful, joyous, painful, and… messy. Can you imagine giving birth in a barn? I can’t even fathom what it must have been like! There was no sterile environment, just the…

This day is significant
**This is dedicated to those I love who have fought and continue to fight tough battles. You are brave and you are capable.** As I contemplate the day ahead of me; I admit I am not very excited. There are no lunch plans, no projects to tackle (well, that’s not completely true) and no pressing errands…
