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.

But I picked up my son, and an old hymn began playing in my head. All throughout the day … Continue reading The Sweetness of Trusting Jesus
This year has been a different season for me. I've been full on stay at home mom. I delivered our son, John Isaac, three weeks ago and while I am so elated to have a new little one, I've also had to sort through feelings of being stuck or stagnant in my own personal life. … Continue reading “Oh the places you’ll go!”
Hello Friends and Family! It has been such a long time since I've blogged. I've missed it greatly. Most of you know I'm pregnant, but for those of you who don't...I'm pregnant! We are excited to be adding another little boy to our family this fall. I've been reading the prison epistles the last few … Continue reading Laying a hold of Peace: Walking into Peace and out of Anxiety
