I’ve debated for a while now on whether to talk about this on my blog just yet. I reached out to a few friends and opened up about it, told family, entrusted those who I thought would be supportive of us no matter what. And, since my Instagram and Facebook posts have kind of come […]

I feel fear. I’m terrified, humanly, of what might happen day in and day out. I fear not raising enough money for our adoption and to bring our baby home. I fear the hatred toward me, my family or our new son or daughter if we end up with a child who is not caucasian…because despite […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about water lately. Sounds strange, I know. But, I’ve cut back on my caffeine intake a lot the last few months and earlier last week I made the mistake of drinking not only a very large cup of coffee for breakfast, but then a Venti Starbucks after lunch. That’s way over what […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Admitting that somewhere along the line you have messed up is hard. Admitting that we’ve said something hurtful, done something hurtful, or just intentionally done something to someone for reasons unknown…is hard. Accepting the mistakes. Admitting your flaws. Asking forgiveness….is hard. But, I don’t know that there is anything quite as eye opening and as […]

Okay. So I’m a little behind on my posting (say 6+ months behind). And I’ve been completely MIA for a while. But for some reason, fitting blogging into my schedule isn’t as easy now that I have two kiddos, a husband, a business to run, and I’ve decided to go back to school part time. My […]
