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...

About Me

REad More

My birthday was this weekend. I can honestly say it was the best birthday I think I have ever had. Not sure if it’s because it was the first birthday I got to celebrate with Noah, or just because it was a good birthday in general. The husband bought me everything that I asked for. […]

My neighbor introduced us to these, and they are ridiculously fabulous! We have made these multiple times since “discovering” them. Oddly enough, I think alot of […]

Campfire Potatoes

I find myself amazed day in and day out by how fast and how quick parenthood changes. The skills and techniques that worked to soothe a child yesterday, may not make the slightest bit of difference today. The past few weeks have been that way with Noah. I guess some would call it a transition […]
