Through good and bad, sadness and joy, my heart lies with showing the goodness of God in all seasons. Especially the messy ones.
Every day society tells us that life has to be perfect and orderly to be beautiful. Our day-to-day should be a nothing less than perfect. We need a flawless aesthetic, a five year plan and perfectly curated social media. There's nothing glamorous about disorder and uncertainty. It's not "normal" to struggle.
But God wants to use those ugly parts, too. Those broken memories, those hidden struggles, and those less than beautiful moments.

We’ve almost reached the end of this pregnancy. I hit the 35 week mark today. Which means that baby boy is almost full term and that we’ll be entering that “any day now” phase very, very soon. It’s bittersweet. Part of me is over the moon to be leaving pregnancy behind and eager to hold […]

Two measly weeks until this baby is full term. I was sitting in bed last night wondering where on EARTH the last few months have gone. I can’t believe this pregnancy has gone by so fast. I worried in the beginning that this one would drag and drag and drag because of how excited we […]

The last few weeks, as I’ve mentioned, have been difficult. I’m tired. My body is worn out in preparing for this new baby boy to arrive in the next few weeks. Work is wrapping up and everything on that end is coming to a close. I’m scared and nervous and excited and anxious all at […]

It’s another one of those mornings where I really didn’t have any intention of writing. In fact, I’m still shocked that I’m even able to hold my head up this morning. Yesterday’s early morning (6:00 am) and all day stent at the hospital left me exhausted. I came home last night and collapsed in the […]

About two months ago, Dee from Shaded Studio contacted me to see if I’d be interested in reviewing and giving away a set of herPhotoshop Actions. Umm…of course I jumped at the chance! I am an actions junkie. After learning to perform a clean edit in Photoshop at the end of last year, I found […]

I’m going to do the next few bumpdates a bit differently. The old format was getting a bit repetitive. My cravings aren’t changing very much (pretty much food in general is good, with the exception of the few days I am battling morning sickness all over again). I ache all the time; my body hurts. […]

I’m happy to have my friend Kathryn from Singing Through the Rain here to guest post today sharing a precious reminder that our kids are who they are and they are special in their own ways…because they are OURS. A few weekends ago I was sick and my husband took my son, Adam to Chick-fil-a […]

It happens the same every single day. One of my favorite parts about being in Alaska is the coming of winter… When the sun doesn’t “wake up” until after 8:00 am and the darkness lingers for a bit longer in the mornings. Those are the mornings it happens. Somewhere between 5:00 am and 7:00 am. […]
