Recap of April Goals 1. Continue making Bible study a higher priority < This is still a work in progress. Quite frankly, my schedule is entirely too full. It's not an excuse, but it is proof that you can be too busy. 2. Pray and commune with God like it's not a chore 3. Less screen time … Continue reading Goals for May 2015

Prayers for Raising My Boy
It's a strange thing, raising a boy. The emotions I feel, the prayers I whisper... Watching him sleep, I ache in the deepest parts of me. This love so fierce. I ask God to help me raise Josiah up to be every bit the man he was created to become, willing to live radically for Christ, to love … Continue reading Prayers for Raising My Boy
Resurrection Sunday 2015
Resurrection Sunday, also known more commonly as "Easter" is one of my favorite holidays. It's the most significant one, if you ask me. Why it doesn't get the same hoopla as Christmas is beyond me. JESUS OVERCAME THE GRAVE, Y'ALL. That's cause for some serious celebration! My sister captured some of the sweetness of the … Continue reading Resurrection Sunday 2015
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
Things 2014 Taught Me
2014 was a year of learning. The best ones always are. Some of the lessons were new, and some were strong reminders. Without further ado and in no particular order, here are the things 2014 taught me... I can survive winter without being completely bummed the whole time. Get out of the house and keep … Continue reading Things 2014 Taught Me
It Won’t Always Be This Way
A few weeks ago, I was able to mark off #16 on my #30Before30 list...that is, "See a great concert." I'm not an expert on musical greatness, but in my opinion, The Rend Collective did not disappoint. (Driving to The Underground - Fall 2014) As I stood there with my arms raised, singing my heart out, … Continue reading It Won’t Always Be This Way
I Need a Reminder (And a few goals for September)
Being a parent whilst also being human is really discouraging sometimes. I feel like a big fat failure almost every single day. Like right now, when Josiah has been asking to put the same puzzle together for 2 days, and it's still laying in the middle of the living room floor undone. I haven't found 5 … Continue reading I Need a Reminder (And a few goals for September)
#30Before30 Strikes Again!
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
