He Has Always Cared for Us (Even When We Haven’t Made the Best Decisions)
Last night, my husband and I whispered in bed above our sleeping little one. We had turned off the television, and were just about ready to fall asleep ourselves. We spoke about God's goodness. I've had a rough year. Possibly the roughest year of my life. While I don't mind speaking about my own struggles … Continue reading He Has Always Cared for Us (Even When We Haven’t Made the Best Decisions)

Bloom
My garden has been in transition. Last year, I moved many plants into our new garden space, hoping that they would thrive. They did not. While they held onto life, they didn't really have much vigor. This spring, we began building raised beds. I carefully amended them, hoping for a bountiful harvest. Honestly, I didn't … Continue reading Bloom

Divine Protection
Do you want to protect your children? I know I sure do. Pretty much all of my decision making revolves around the safety of my children in some way.

We Must Return Home, Mamas
It's been a wild week. Ladies, the censorship conservatives are seeing is off of the charts. Media, social media, and corporations are trying to silence our voices. I've had quite enough, and I finally broke up with Instagram last night. I hope to write more about that later. Big tech, and now corporations, are doing … Continue reading We Must Return Home, Mamas
The End Goal is Not Our Happiness
"We mistakenly look for tokens of God's love in happiness. We should instead look for them in His faithful and persistent work to conform us to Christ." -Jerry Bridges I had to read this quote more than once to let it sink in. How often had I looked for proof of God's love in my … Continue reading The End Goal is Not Our Happiness
Living in Opposite World
I feel like we are living in opposite world. Do you feel the same? We are being told that what we believe to be right is wrong, and that one opinion needs to be silenced. And the theories about what may happen next. Oh my. I found myself scrolling through Parler last night, shocked about … Continue reading Living in Opposite World

What a Time to be Living In
Dear friends, what a year this has been! One of my weaknesses is the tenancy to be anxious, and anxious I've been over the past months. This is no way to live.
