Ed and I were blessed to have gotten to go on a little get away trip this weekend. The trip was originally planned for his birthday over a month ago, but the weather had different plans for us that weekend. We were very excited to finally go to this secluded cabin, as we were eagerContinue reading “Rooted in Christ: I Hope You Dance”

Because I Said So…
Because I said so. When I type the words above, the first thing I think of is that my teachers always told me to never start a sentence with because. Then I actually start to think about the words themselves and the times I’ve heard them either spoken to me or when I’ve felt entitledContinue reading “Because I Said So…”
The Waiting Game…
Something so lost in our society today is the ability to wait. We are so used to getting everything so quickly, with Amazon packages on our doorstep within 2 days of ordering, food coming right out of the drive-thru window within a few minutes with hardly any work on our part, and possibly the worstContinue reading “The Waiting Game…”
The River: Swept Away!
The other day after not even 3 minutes of being awake, I found myself coming up with what things I would accomplish for the day. After my workout, I’d quickly make coffee & breakfast, read my bible, take attendance, lesson plan, teach, walk my dog, and the list just kept going! I honestly just layedContinue reading “The River: Swept Away!”
The Power of Perspective and Revelation
The older I get, the more I am able to realize my talents and passions. I love teaching, cooking, encouraging others, learning, being active, and so many more things! I find it easy to link some of these talents and passions, but often I wonder what greater purpose God has for my specific talents andContinue reading “The Power of Perspective and Revelation”
Pure Gospel
The dark picture above is a photo I took of one of the most peaceful and fulfilling experiences I’ve had in my faith walk. This was taken on March 17, 2020…mostly likely at 4 or 5am. When we were quarantined, I spent my mornings doing the things I had neglected during the busy school year.Continue reading “Pure Gospel”
Beautiful In Time…
Before I share my thoughts, I just want to take a minute to encourage you to go and read John 11 before going any further. There is so much to be learned from this passage, so don’t miss out by just reading this! The story starts with two women, Mary & Martha, sending a messageContinue reading “Beautiful In Time…”
Serving Over Circumstances
There’s something about the stillness of the night & the warm glow of the fire that just makes me feel so at peace. On a girl’s trip last weekend, we gathered around the fire, with flannels and blankets abound. Conversation quickly turned to boy talk, as it usually goes with young women gathered around aContinue reading “Serving Over Circumstances”
Give it Back to God!
We all know about those dreaded New Year’s resolutions that we so excitedly make…just to quickly not follow through on a few weeks later as we settle back into the chaos and business of life after the holiday season. At the end of 2019, I decided to make a list of resolutions and to commitContinue reading “Give it Back to God!”
Give God YOUR All…
Have you ever felt like you have nothing left to give to God? Or maybe you’ve felt like what you do have to give Him is inconsequential in comparison to what you see someone else giving Him… I imagine that’s exactly how the widow felt in this passage. Can we just imagine for a minuteContinue reading “Give God YOUR All…”
