This morning I got to mark off another box on my #30Before30 list! #14 WE PAID OFF A CREDIT CARD! WOOHOO! One of our biggest goals is to become debt free, so that we can have freedom to follow wherever God decides to lead us without financial burdens weighing us down. That being said, we … Continue reading #30Before30 Strikes Again!

August Update: Perspective and Regrets
As I begin to write this post, it is with the utmost agitation, as everything within my introverted spirit is telling me to withdraw to the quiet places where no one can see the things I've been battling. I have had SO many thoughts on what to write over the last month, but nothing has … Continue reading August Update: Perspective and Regrets
July
July is upon us, and so far, it is wonderful! Goals... 1. More Bible reading and prayer - Jesus, fill me up! 2. Initiative - I want to live a life of great intention. It's the best life. After years of reaction, I want to be PROactive! 3. Finish strong - So far, I have … Continue reading July
Just a Little Bit
Reading through Jesus' crucifixion feels new and painful every time. To know that any innocent man was mocked, beaten, and murdered is sickening, but when you really try to grasp that it was our perfect, loving LORD, it takes your breath away. Or it should. Reading through the account found in Luke 23, I couldn't … Continue reading Just a Little Bit
Precious Moments of Desperation
Mr. D and I have been attending Lifespring Christian Church in Harrison, Ohio. If you're looking for a church in that area, I'd definitely suggest checking it out. The current sermon series is about prayer. Each week, the speaker takes a line from "The LORD's Prayer," evaluates it, and provides an extensive explanation of its importance. I'm … Continue reading Precious Moments of Desperation
June
June 2014 is here. We are living in the future. I mean, weren't we supposed to be driving flying cars by now? Seriously, the passage of time astounds me. The weather is beautiful, and we are looking forward to a good month. This month we will celebrate with the Dummel family, as the oldest of … Continue reading June
6 Years and Counting
Today, Dustin and I celebrate 6 years of marriage. Anyone just tuning into our story might not understand why celebration today is particularly significant. Celebration is standard at anniversaries, right? Well, our story has been less than glamorous. Look at those two kids in that picture. They were dreamy, ecstatic, praying for their beautiful future. Thank God one … Continue reading 6 Years and Counting
Time to Dust off #25
This blog is on my #30Before30 list. That's right! #iusehashtags #25 on my list says "Make my blog mean something (Post it publically!)" I literally just let out an anxious sigh after typing that. This blog is my thinking ground, but it's also a place where I hope I will foster growth in myself, in my family, … Continue reading Time to Dust off #25
Minimalism Game Days 13-19
October 20, 2013 I blogged a bunch last week, and then I didn't blog this week. It's an example of how much I struggle with consistency. I just live life in spurts. I wish I could change that about myself, but instead I'm trying to channel who I am in the right direction. Instead of … Continue reading Minimalism Game Days 13-19
Minimalism Game Days 9-12
Woah! Life got a little crazy there for a minute! I finished my first accounting class last week, attended an out-of-town funeral Saturday, and took a "mental health" Sunday (I.e. I went to evening church after staying home all day with my sweet boy). I will try to catch up on the "game" over the … Continue reading Minimalism Game Days 9-12
