Let me set the scene for you. It’s the afternoon of the first day of our hashtag homeschool journey for this academic year. I’m enjoying a peaceful and tidy home with a cup of fresh coffee in hand, a slice of orange pound cake next to me, and my laptop fired up and ready toContinue reading “Ears to Hear, Hearts that Obey (a prayer)”

How Do We Know the Will of God?
How do we determine the will of God for our lives? When I was younger, this question would stress me out. It felt like my inner-person was constantly battling with herself over wanting to please God, worrying about how other people viewed me, and simply craving my own way. I was about 25 years oldContinue reading “How Do We Know the Will of God?”
Cultivating Family Devotion: A Few Thoughts
Recently, over a plate stacked high with thick waffles and crispy fried chicken, a dear friend asked me an unexpected question. She referenced seeing photos on social media of my extended family, all seven (now grown) siblings -plus spouses and children- and my parents, and she asked how we maintained such close relationships now intoContinue reading “Cultivating Family Devotion: A Few Thoughts”

Fearful of our times; fearful of the horrific events happening all around the world to people just like you and me. Fearful of the future (especially here in the United States)Continue reading “Fear of the Lord”
Maranatha
The storm woke me up. That- and my 2 year old, startled awake from the rumbling thunder and continuous lighting. I shuffled in to his room, barely coherent myself, and helped him to the bathroom. Soon, I carried him back to bed, his tiny arms wrapped around my neck. After tucking him back in, kissesContinue reading “Maranatha”
What I Believe
You know what I believe? I believe that you can be an intelligent, curious, and deeply spiritual woman and also get a kick out of a great shade of lipstick. I believe that you can think well and do well and still dress well. I believe that my worth is measured and spoken by theContinue reading “What I Believe”
But We Trust
After years of living in almost every corner of Nashville, separately and then together after we married, Michael and I finally moved out to the country. We have coyotes in our back field and limited internet service and beauty as far as the eye can see. We only have two neighbors and one of themContinue reading “But We Trust”
