When We Walk Alone
Today is the Sabbath Day. My husband has told our older children that he will take them fishing this morning, while I rest at home with our little ones. While my body may be at rest at the moment, my mind is not. I have encountered many trials this past year, and my mind has … Continue reading When We Walk Alone
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. I tend to be a worrier, which doesn't help matters. I need to keep all of my thoughts focused on Christ and the Lord's will for … Continue reading Divine Protection
Support from Above
How was your day, ladies? Ours was nice...but each day is full of blessings if we look for them, aren't they? This week has been especially lovely since my ballet dancer has been home during her winter break. Today my children spotted three trout swimming in the small creek at our cabin. How special! I … Continue reading Support from Above
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
Our Nation is Broken
Dear ladies, I hardly know what to say. I am so incredibly saddened by the events transpiring in our nation right now. I spent most of yesterday watching the protests at the United States Capitol on YouTube. As a citizen, I am deeply troubled by the election irregularities that I have seen, especially in my … Continue reading Our Nation is Broken
A Prayerful Start to 2021
Good afternoon, ladies! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sitting here with a seed catalog, thinking and dreaming of spring. My little guys are adventuring outside while one of my oldest daughters is finishing up the paint in my youngest daughters' room. Such blessings! I have been praying quite a bit lately. Praying for … Continue reading A Prayerful Start to 2021
One Day at a Time
Yesterday evening I was in a bit of a slump. I was concerned about some big things, and life just felt heavy. I talked to my husband about it, and he shared some encouragement with me. He is a pretty level headed guy, and I definitely need him to balance my tendency to overthink things. … Continue reading One Day at a Time
Give Me Your Desires

Dedicating Our Days to God
The fan air feels cold on my cheek as a tiny foot jabs into my side. I hold Moses close while reaching for my phone. 6:58. Ah, how can it be morning already? I'm tired after a restless night with a little one who still doesn't care to sleep all the way through.I stretch, and … Continue reading Dedicating Our Days to God
We are Sojourners
Scrolling through my YouVersion app, my eyes fell on these verses this evening. They encouraged me, and I hope they encourage you, too. If you call on Him as Father—the One who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds—then live out the time of sojourning in reverent fear. You know that you were redeemed from … Continue reading We are Sojourners
I Want to Walk in His Will
Yesterday was spent cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I hurried through Tractor Supply, picking up feed, pine shavings, and the cutest "Scramble on Inn" sign for our chicken coop. I raced through Walmart, while grabbing something I needed for my Etsy shop and colored pencils for my son. I transplanted a fig tree, a blackberry … Continue reading I Want to Walk in His Will
We are Being Called to Repentance
Oh, how I wish I wrote on this blog more often. Funny story. Last year, I did most of my writing on my phone while in bed. I'm super busy most days. Perhaps some of you moms can relate, ha! Anyhow, since Moses has been born, he likes to sleep in the crook of my … Continue reading We are Being Called to Repentance
My Heart is Heavy
Yesterday, my heart felt incredibly heavy while we were scurrying around, getting ready for the day. My young children were chattering, happy and mostly oblivious to what is going on in our world right now. We stay at home as much as we can, but my husband and I darted into Lowe's for a second … Continue reading My Heart is Heavy
Our Wilderness Journey
Have you ever felt like you were on a wilderness journey? I know I have. Whether the journey is in regards to our faith, our marriage, or our children, sometimes the Lord makes a dramatic change in our lives to shift our thinking. This happened to my family when we moved to South Carolina briefly … Continue reading Our Wilderness Journey
Letting Light Shine In Our Homes
With Halloween around the corner, I've been thinking about the struggle it sometimes is to keep our homes full of light, and free of worldly influences. Our family personally doesn't celebrate Halloween. We also steer clear of church festivals and the like which try to "redeem the day," since we feel like imitating the world … Continue reading Letting Light Shine In Our Homes
