Following His Path To Something Beautiful
It was the day after Christmas. Meaning the day that every child wants to open, build, and play with every single Christmas gift they received. Also, the day that every parent is trying to get the kids to stay in bed just a little longer, trying to get them to be patient while they make [...]
When I was younger, I used to be in a theater group. One year we did a play about the Maccabees. I can still remember one line in the song. “Antiochus, the terrible has made our lives unbearable.” Unbearable ended up being a bit of an understatement. Antiochus heavily restricted (forbid) Jewish tradition, because he [...]
Have you ever wondered why you should be thankful? You see bible verse after bible verse, telling you to be thankful in all things, but does it really mean all things? Like everything? The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, and everything in between? What about all the bad things that happen? Do we [...]
Faith: Let's Talk About It! Faith Talk releases Friday, but you can pre-order today! But let's talk about it. What is Faith Talk? I am grateful to have gotten the opportunity (along with about 19 others) to share parts of my faith in this new anthology by Heather Hart, the founder of Candidly Christian. In [...]
Does anyone like FaceBook memories? Today I was reminded of a few significant events over the past 9 years, and 11 months. And today, I'm remembering God is God. He is good, and He is faithful. But 9 years and 11 months, that is how long I have been in my 30's. The day I [...]

So this is not a pony tale, or a story about a horse. But the story is kind of hilarious, as I couldn't stop laughing when I told my husband about it for the first time last night. I actually don't think I think I finished the story, so he will hear the end of [...]
I had a dream I have a lot of dreams. I had a bunch last night (none of them last night were good). But the dream I share about in my new post for Candidly Christian was a good dream, that I didn't want to end. As we come out of Mother's Day, and today [...]
This post is written by Jen Weant. You can read more of her story here. When they tell you becoming a parent changes everything, they are telling the truth! Almost 4 years ago, we welcomed our sweet little one into our family. After years of waiting expectantly, we adopted Parker and he has brought so [...]
Holy week. A week we remember why grace is so amazing. It was Good Friday. And I was deeply grieved. I was making lunch and asked Charlie to get my computer from upstairs. He grabbed it, put it on the sink (about to fall in), and I found the cord left haphazardly left across my [...]
