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.

Bad days, long days, sheer exhaustion… Life happens to everyone and sometimes I can’t tell whether I’m coming or going. I get overwhelmed. I get cranky. And I think to myself (more than once, I’m afraid) that I just can’t handle it anymore. Then I stop and take a look around… And I realize that […]

The weeks have been busy, but the husband took a couple of weeks off to study for his Advancement Service-wide Exam coming up and get ready for the Little Guy’s birthday. Which means that I’m hoping to take […]
I did it again. Missed two weeks or so of Spotlight Saturday. But, I think I have more than made up for it this week. Just because I don’t get around to posting these blogs every single week, doesn’t mean that I’m not reading and taking notes on what’s going on in the blog world. […]
You usually never realize when you are about to be hit with one of those “life changing” moments. More often than not, they sneak up on us, disguised as an unfortunate event, a bad day, or-occasionally-a happy accident that we just didn’t see coming out way. Sometimes we acknowledge their life changing reality immediately, understanding […]

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how hard it can be to be overly excited for your pregnant friends when you yourself are having a hard time getting pregnant. I was overwhelmed by the support I received from all of you; your comments, your encouragement, your stories of struggle. So many of […]
Don’t worry. You aren’t lost. You made it to the right place.I’ve spent the last five weeks drafting up a new and permanent design for my blog.
