Rooted in Christ: I Hope You Dance

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”

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 Protection of Peace

A word that I’ve noticed coming up a lot lately, especially with the Christmas season upon us, is peace. As this word peace keeps coming up, I’ve been thinking a lot about it. As Philippians 4:7 and many other verses in the Bible tell us, peace is something that we always have access to andContinue reading “The Protection of Peace”

The Mondayest of Mondays

I’ve been marinating on this post for a while now as the words have sat in my journal, but other things have been consuming my time. I woke up this morning, grumpy as could be on a Monday, so writing this post is a reminder and declaration over my own life as today feels likeContinue reading “The Mondayest of Mondays”

Fighting Hurry, Staying Grounded

I’ve started a new thing now that I have a longer commute where I listen to one podcast each morning to help the time go by more quickly. Yesterday, I started a new podcast called “Fight Hustle, End Hurry”. It was so timely and convicting…if you have time you should 100% listen to it, especiallyContinue reading “Fighting Hurry, Staying Grounded”

Great Unknown: Faith Without Borders

If you have 9 minutes and 36 seconds of time that you could set aside, I would so encourage you to just be still and listen to this song. I know for me and many others it’s a familiar one, but the words just hit differently for me this time and I have a feelingContinue reading “Great Unknown: Faith Without Borders”

Look to the One Sleeping

Well, here we are almost a month after I wrote my last blog post. I’ve “committed” in my mind countless times to finally sitting down and writing this specific blog post because it was a lesson that was so impactful to me while Ed and I were going through the closing process on our home.Continue reading “Look to the One Sleeping”

The Joy Set Before Us

So many people right now just want one thing: stability. This year has sincerely been unprecedented. I remember joking with a colleague about a month ago saying I felt like a ping pong ball on a rolly table that someone keeps jerking back and forth. Every time I seem to stabilize myself and get usedContinue reading “The Joy Set Before Us”

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

This week and today, in particular, I’ve felt a deep heaviness, sadness, and even a little anxious. I spent some time looking at news articles online in an attempt to understand WHAT in the world is going on right now in our country. Insurrection. Impeachment. Martial Law. After reading a few articles, I felt anxiety.Continue reading “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”

In the Stillness…

Jesus came & prayed with me today. I felt His presence next to me, sitting, reminding me to just sit with Him in the quiet. Relax. Enjoy His presence. He kissed me on the forehead and walked away, promising that everything would be taken care of and that nothing would fall apart in the fewContinue reading “In the Stillness…”
