Following your Dreams when no one Believes in You
From a very young age, we are “socially aware”. We act, react & respond to those around us. We feed off of their energy, the words they say and the way they say them, body language, actions & so much more.

Yes, my Living Room is a Playground; and no, I won’t apologize for it
Yes, my living room is a playground, and No, I won’t apologize for it. As I was cleaning up yesterday’s toys off of the living room floor, early this morning – because I had a few minutes between loads of laundry, an hour or two before the baby wakes up and a little extra energy (Thanks, Red), I thought back…

Finding Your Way
We start out life with such hope, curiosity and wonder, not worrying about tomorrow or the troubles it will surely bring. As we grow older, we begin to see things differently. Worries rise up and take the place of hope, trouble steps in and overshadows the joy and we just get so darn busy with the hustle and bustle of…

At first those two ideas seem contrary to one another,…

Jonah | The Right Man for the Job
For the past 3 weeks in church, we’ve been talking about Jonah, and if you’ve ever been within 200 yards of a bible teaching church (or within 1,000 yards of a rowdy group of VBS kids) you know the story.

What do Donald Trump, Lauren Daigle and Pastor Steven Furtick have in common
You may be saying at this point, “what’s up with her ridiculously long blog titles lately?”, and you’d have a valid question. Sometimes, though, a short and sweet title won’t do. I’m writing what comes to me, when it comes to me and as it comes to me, and this was next. It’s actually been a few weeks in the…

Am I More than Just the Average of Every High and Every Low?
“Am I more than just the average of every high and every low?” More than a ridiculously long blog title, or an offshoot →(for copyright reasons) of a catchy rhyme from Lauren Daigle’s song You Say, this is something I think most – if not all – of us struggle with on a daily basis.

Overcoming Unhealthy Mentalities
Paradigm Change Over the past few years, I’ve come to the conclusion (slowly) that when it comes to my diet choices I change my mind like my 7 year old daughter changes outfits. I can be swayed as easily as a boat in a hurricane from a simple Netflix documentary, a convincing Pinterest graphic or the latest diet fad synopsis…
