You’ve got this – I promise.
Girl, you’ve got this. Whatever THIS is…. Distance Learning Masks Hand Sanitizer Marriage Dishes Diapers Teens Here’s my go-to verse these days from Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” You are God’s workmanship.

Crazy can’t keep you from being fruitful
Let me assure you – no one has it better we all just have it different. Each summer I try to take my kids on an adventure. We try to make some memories, share some laughs, and if all goes well live to tell about it. Our 2020 adventure was river tubing and it started off strong…
How to thrive when life gets scary
Girl, let’s be honest. If you are remotely following current events, life is a little scary right now. Even if you aren’t following current events, the fact that schools may not allow students to return for in-person instruction and many of us may end up homeschooling this fall is scary in its own right. Life can…
God doesn’t need normal
God does not need things to be “normal” in order to bless you. There’s a man in the Old Testament, Jacob, who was the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. His father-in-law, a man named Laban, changed his wages on him 10 times in 20 years. He worked 7 years for his wife, was…

Noah Family
We are a family. We love each other, we forgive each other, we help each other. I’ve been in a season with my children where I am explaining that families just don’t happen. God is orderly and purposeful and when he created man and woman he established social structure and natural order. We aren’t a…
The Day You’re Handed
“Like” if you’ve ever had a morning like this… Husband, leaves the house early for a meeting. I shower, and get the kids moving. That shower signified the end of my normal morning routine. Son, refusing to use the potty for his solid deposits, is in a pull up and must wear said pull up…
Problem Solver
I live to problem solve. Most women do. An easy problem bubbled up in preschool car line this week, my four-year-old reminded me it was his day to bring show and tell for the letter “N”. Here’s the dialogue in my head, “I need to be better organized. My son’s preschool experience is subpar because…
Working Hard and Not Getting Far
Ever feel like you are killing yourself doing “everything you’re supposed to do” but not getting very far? Maybe you are working hard, but there’s more month than paycheck. Maybe you’re volunteering all the time with your children, but can’t get your family tied closer together. Are you making good food choices, but can’t lose…
