I had a very desperate moment this morning. Somewhere between the unending laundry, the overwhelming sense of LIFE and the responsibilities of all of it left me in a place of absolute desperation. For whatever reason, it all seemed to close in on me at the same time. I climbed out of bed (15 minutes […]

We talked about loneliness vs. being alone in Sunday School yesterday. We’ve just started discussing parts of the book Radical Reliance a few weeks ago and have already had some really great conversations surrounding intimacy with Christ and really and truly being dependent on Him in all things. I’ve been reading through and studying the book of […]

I take anywhere from an hour to two hours to get ready to go somewhere. That includes showering, makeup, hair, choosing clothes, and actually putting them on. My husband would argue differently and say that it takes me four or five hours, but that’s not true. It seems like it does, considering that I usually have […]

What did you want to be when you were younger? You know, when people asked that age old question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I can’t remember every single answer that I ever gave anyone but I do know that at one point I wanted to be an artist, an Olympic […]

After today’s post, I thought that a free printable was in order. Matthew 11:28 is one of my absolute favorite Bible verses and is one that I have to refer back to time and time again in my own life. It’s nice to know that we can come to God whenever we need to, whenever we […]

My oldest son has a stuffed puppy dog. She’s been with our family six years come December.  She was a one of the Christmas gifts he received that very first year he was born. He was barely two months old, not even big enough to sit up yet. My aunt wrapped him up in a […]

It has rained a lot since we moved to North Carolina. I laughed and told my husband that I thought we were going to be getting away from the rain after leaving Kodiak, but I’m pretty certain that it’s rained as much as it did there. With rain comes frogs. Lots and lots of them. I’ve lost […]

I’m not sure if everyone who stops by here these days realizes that our time in Kodiak is coming to a close. Soon. As in less than one week soon. We leave on Sunday. For good. I’ve sat to write this post  many times. More so to update whoever still reads this blog on what […]

It was weird celebrating Easter this year…just simply knowing that this is the last one we will spend in Kodiak. That next Easter we will be somewhere where the kids can have an actual Egg Hunt (which we didn’t have here this year…at least not anywhere on base or with anyone we knew). Our anniversary […]

Logging into WordPress to write a blog post and immediately being presented with the space to create a Title for my post is a bit overwhelming. I usually don’t even know what I want to write when I sit down to write. Typically just allowing the words to flow when I come to write them. […]
