I’m Determined Not To Steal The Pen
It was seven years ago last week that Samantha's heart failed, and God miraculously saved her life. Seven years ago we were about to go to bed, thinking we were just tired at the end of a long day. Little did we know we would wake up and experience our first feeling...
Who Are You Praying For?
Admittedly, I am a big Fixer Upper fan. I used to joke that watching Chip and Joanna interact with each other was a little bit of marriage counseling for me since my husband and I also work together. I think that our personalities are similar too, so it seemed to...
I Am Finding Value In Community

Your Big Green Eyes Set Me Free
I went out to run this morning and Samantha came out in her purple pajamas to run with me. She hasn't gotten the memo that I run for quiet, but these are the sweet moments when I am reminded to just run with the girl I thought I might not get to run with. I took off...
I Can Do All Things
Momming…most of my best ideas come from watching other moms and thinking, “Oooooh that. I’m going to do that too.” The simple, repeatable building blocks that we can copy and emulate…matter My son’s preschool teacher did this with her daughters - they would count on...
Take a little inspiration with you.
