It may not be easy or even pretty, but it's filled with grace – overwhelming amounts of grace
My husband climbed into my waiting vehicle. He had just gotten home from picking up his truck after getting a number of very costly repairs. We both sighed, pushed it out of our minds and looked towards our day together. It had been entirely too long since we had gained a whole day together just […]
If you ask me, discernment is just about THE hardest thing to achieve as a follower of Christ. Life is hard. Life is messy and often times, we are left with more questions than answers. And when we try to listen for those answers, it’s easy to not be able to hear His voice in […]
There is something magical about the beach isn’t there? The powder white sand, kids building large sand castles, sunburned skin bobbing up and down in the ocean, and my favorite – the waves. Every morning of this vacation, I awake early and sit on our balcony overlooking the ocean. Dolphins feeding greet me there, as […]
Summer’s charm is full of warmth, sleeping in, tanned skin by the water (not IN the water – there is a very big difference there for me!). With no homework to help with and no bedtime to patrol, days seem to float by carelessly. I find myself looking forward to these warm summer months more […]
We have been caught in a waiting net for over two months. My poor husband has endured pain that I’m all too familiar with. I never thought he would have to really know what it was like to live with the dreaded companion named Pain, but he has had to endure more than my heart […]

As my husband and I hiked through the mountains of Tennessee on our honeymoon, the rushing creek caught my eye. It was raging, pushing water through at such an abundant force that it was magnificent! As I stood there, taking it all in, I noticed that not all of the water was being channeled all […]
Why? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why is this happening to ME? Why would God allow this to happen? Why? Why? I have spent many years in the why’s. I guess you could say I camped out there – I camped out there so long that eventually my tent became so tattered […]
I’m gonna be honest here – this blog is completely out of obedience. I may or may not have stomped my foot and answered “FINE!” to this calling – I’m gonna bet that’s not really the attitude God has in mind when He calls us to do something… But our flesh is weak and sometimes […]
