My Vegetable Garden. His Heart
This is our vegetable garden! God continues to speak abundance over me this year. My overfilled, crazy, messy garden reminds me of what He has promised me this year. This year has been painful in so many ways. I realize that some things must die in order for resurrection to occur. But this is so…

Breaking Up With Easy- choosing Love and Grit!
For most of my life, I have protested anything very difficult. I somehow had this fairytale image in my mind that a perfect, faith-filled life meant that there would be zero strife, and everyone would like me and my family. Oh boy, was I believing lies! Nothing about the past 20 years or more has…

10 Years! (Dear Husband)
Dear Husband, I know today could be passed by by most people. But our 10 years are a BIG deal! When I reflect on this day 10 years ago, I was filled with excitement of a dream coming true as well as the weight of how serious this covenant I was walking into. It has…

When God Takes Away
Have you ever felt like God was taking things away from you? The past year has been a life-changing year. My heart has been broken and wrecked in ways I never thought possible.

What My 3.5-hr Haircut Taught Me
I had already had to cancel my dinner plans and my semi-damp hair was only half cut. An hour had come and gone. The only thing that was complete was a magnificent hair wash and the back of my hair trimmed. If my layers and bangs were to be next I figured I would be…

Mother’s Day…
Sigh. This day is full of many emotions. When we were children we never knew what our Mommas were feeling or going through. But the truth is that they often were grieving or struggling in some way. Sure, many years were great when this day came but so many brave souls overcame a day feeling…

In A Pit With A Lion
A mountain and a promise. You are in a pit with a lion. What do you do? Do you panic and freeze, or try to hide and cower in the corner? No. You will face that lion. With every breath you take it will remind you that the Lord is with you. He will not…
