That stuff you're afraid to talk about...the sin you think is too messy? We unpack that here...

Through good and bad, sadness and joy, my heart lies with showing the goodness of God in all seasons. Especially the messy ones.

Pain.

There is purpose behind the

Beauty

There is                  in the chaos,

Mess,

there is meaning in the

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. 

God wants to use the ugly stuff, too...

Since Noah is sleeping (finally…something he did very little of last night) I decided to take a few minutes to type a very much needed update. I’ve definately got to try to find more time to keep things up to date on here. I’m slacking. But, I guess that’s the territory that comes with “Mommy-hood.” […]

Josh and I were watching ESPN last night as E:60 did a story on a man named DJ Gregory. This was truly one of the most inspiring stories I have ever heard. I see the sports channels do stories on professional athletes and injured athletes all the time, but never have I seen a story […]

Since I have now stepped into the roll of “mommy” I decided that keeping 2 blogs up to date was going to be more trouble than it was worth…and since this blog gets more readers, I am deleting our family blog and just making everything into one. I’ll continue to post family pictures and all […]

With Baby Noah’s pending arrival (assuming I don’t become the first woman in history to never have her baby…which is the way I feel these days. LOL) I finally got the house entirely clean. I had never heard of the “Nesting Instinct” until I started reading “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” (The must-have pregnancy […]

Ahh…The Nesting Instinct

REad More

So, I was doing some “reflecting” today while Josh was at work…reading some old journal entries, looking back at some old pictures, and realized that we (as humans) are completely and totally incapable of being happy. Seriously. Think about it. No matter what goes on, what situation you are in, where you are in your […]
