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.

So, as promised, I finally came up with a new name for my blog. I actually sat down today and made a list with several different names that reflected life and my family. “The Kirkland Family” was just too bland. Everyone knows my last name and knows my family. That name didn’t really give us […]
This week is turning out to be “that” week. You know what kind of week I am talking about. That week that seems like everything either goes wrong or comes at a complete hassle. Mine started on Sunday night. Noah had one of his “I don’t really feel like sleeping” nights and got up several […]
This is something that is getting harder and harder to do. Noah is 5 months old now and DEMANDING (notice the emphasis on that word) everyone’s undivided attention. And when he isn’t getting it, he pitches a FIT. God is definately trying to work on my patience, of that I am completely certain. So, for […]
So, we finally got moved into our new house. We have been staying here for a week and have gotten SO much done. We have most everything painted. My kitchen is completely unpacked, there are pictures hanging in the living room…all we lack is Noah’s room, a few things left to paint, and our room. […]
So, we got out of our lease. Thankfully. I ended up having to call the District Manager of our Apartment Complex and have her take care of it. But, needless to say, our lease is now up on April 16. Which, we will be moving on (or before, depending on Josh’s exact pay-date) April 1. […]
Josh and I found a house! Well a townhouse atleast…It’s got brand new furniture-including a Washer and Dryer (which I don’t have now and CAN NOT wait to be able to use!), 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, a Garage, an attic, a security system, a patio that overlooks the pond, a big kitchen with lots of […]
The past couple of days have been frustrating…it seems like there are times in life that everything happens at one time…everything goes wrong at one time…everyone makes you mad-at one time. It’s been that kind of time for us lately. The biggest thing we have been aggravated about lately is this apartment we live in. […]
I have been thinking about a lot of different things lately…don’t really know why. I guess that’s just the way life is…Mainly, I started thinking about (once again) how much life has changed over the past 4 years of my life…especially the past year. Like I said in my last post, I just don’t feel […]
