I met up with a friend, Sarah, a few months back. She's one of those lifetime friends... You don't talk but maybe once or twice a year, but when you do, you haven't missed a beat. Let me just say, I am so thankful for those kinds of friends. I met her my 9th grade … Continue reading Overcoming Mom Guilt
This week we are at the beach. I love the beach. Growing up a few blocks from it was so much fun. Although I'm totally a Georgia girl now, I jump at the chance to go to the beach any time I can. Since we arrived, the double red flags have been out signaling that … Continue reading What the Ocean Taught me this Week
Hi! You know the saying, "if you fail to plan, you'll plan to fail"? Well sometimes not having a set routine reading the Bible can be the same way.

A few months ago my family and I had the privilege of meeting up with beautiful friends from overseas. We met for lunch; them and their two sweet girls and John and I and our boys. As most "mom" conversations go, it was fun, crazy, a bit chaotic and seemed schizophrenic at times. Who can relate? Haha. You know the biggest thing I took away from that lunch?

It was a Wednesday night and it was full of people and looked more like a food court, (dreams do weird things. lol). We were signing up for which … Continue reading Staying Unoffended at the Leadership of God
In my last post I introduced what my world has been like with my super fun two year old. Ha-Ha. Thankfully the Holy Spirit has stuck with me and been the best support I could have asked for as a parent. Literally some days I would just ask Him, "Am I a bad mother? Am I doing it wrong?...
