The last few nights, as I've bathed Josiah and dressed him before bed, I can't help but revel in his little banged up legs. They tell of climbing mountains, traversing rocky paths, conquering giants...a little boy on an amazing journey to becoming a man. Childhood at its finest. I think of the days when … Continue reading Worth the Pain

Confessions: Not Until I Read My Bible
I have a confession to make. I am NOT a religious Christian. I hear some people saying, "It's not a religion; it's a relationship." I feel ya on that, but it's becoming evident to me that God commands up to pray without stopping and to write His words on our hearts for a reason. We … Continue reading Confessions: Not Until I Read My Bible
Goals for March 2015
I'm not going to lie, I struggled for a good part of February. Although it feels like we've been living in our new place for a long time, it has literally been ONE month. Since I'm amazing at adjusting to major life changes (sarcasm), it's a wonder why I didn't reach my goals!?!?! 1. Finish reading … Continue reading Goals for March 2015
Leaning on Grace
This is the kind of night it's been, and I feel so defeated. After almost two solid years of being a working mom, I just can't get the hang of it. I'm mentally and emotionally drained at the end of the day, and I've got very little to offer the two most important people in … Continue reading Leaning on Grace
To My Birth Mother on Her Birthday
Dear Mom, Today, you would have been celebrating your birthday. It's hard to believe so much time has passed that you'd be in your mid 50's. I usually recognize your birthday, and then try not to think about it much. Avoidance has been my way of coping with your and Jamie’s “dates”...birthdays and last days. I … Continue reading To My Birth Mother on Her Birthday
Simple Immunity Boosting
We’ve just started a cold bug. I started to get that icky-sicky feeling about half way through the work day, and Josiah has definitely had the sniffles for the last few days. Obviously I’m no doctor, but I’m making an educated guess when I say it has a little (or a lottle) to do with … Continue reading Simple Immunity Boosting
Togetherness with the Right People
This week was one of those times when I felt like all the introverting in the world wasn't going to be enough to fill me back up. The move, school, work...everything was taking, and I could not find a way to recharge. I ended up crying in my van as I hid from the cold … Continue reading Togetherness with the Right People
Goals for February 2015
I'm a person of many words thought and written, but far fewer spoken. That's a reflection of the mess inside my brain. I get way overwhelmed when I look at "the big picture," but I love creating and accomplishing the tiny tidbits that lead to the larger goal. I made a chart for myself (In … Continue reading Goals for February 2015
So, I’m Writing A Book…
I've spoken about conquering fear on this page before, and I have to admit that it still has a presence in my life at times. I think most people would be lying if they said they were fearless. Fear stands in the way of the life we want to be living. We fear failure, but … Continue reading So, I’m Writing A Book…
The Quiet Before the Whirlwind
I'm sitting in my favorite chair while Josiah snoozes and the fan runs. It's so peaceful in this tiny apartment. I should have packed more or gotten to bed earlier, but I'm being like a preschooler and resisting sleep. This week should hold a lot of wonderful things, but I know it's going to be … Continue reading The Quiet Before the Whirlwind
