In an Instant

  October 12, 2016 At 12:10p, life changed.  Thad was in a horrific car accident.  He was hit mostly head on by a guy in a big pick up truck that was trying to make/beat the light.  The other guy was going way to fast – well above the speed limit – and Thad was …

Choose Who You Will Follow

October 2016 Self indulgence has always been my down fall …. I mean seriously – who doesn’t crave comfort and ease. Yet God calls us to so much more – something that will be so much better. Growth is just a part of my walk with God. He doesn’t want me to stay stuck and …

Be Bold! Be Raw! Be where you are – just don’t stay there!

August 2016 Holy Wow! What a whirlwind. July was a month of everything in all directions. How is it possible to have so many emotions in so many directions at the exact same time? Things building up; things cracking; things coming together; things crumbling …. It’s all part of something way bigger than us though …

Abide

May 2016 Whenever I struggle and get stressed I can fall back into old patterns that hang on the framework of self-protection and self-reliance. I find myself fighting to make it on my own with this insane streak of I have to do “it” on my own! My focus this month is going to nurture …

February 28, 2016 I love that every four years we have an extra day!  What are you going to do with your time? So many options of what you can do …. At our house, we are pretending today is the 29th since it is a work day tomorrow! PRIORITY and PLAY DAY – here …

Stand Firm in Faith

February 26, 2016 This was a challenging week … make that month …. and it all felt like it was crashing in over the past couple of days!  God really spoke to me last night through his Word and lovingly reminded me of what is most important – HIM! So today, I have my big …

Be precious to God

February 25, 2016 When we make a stand for God, there is often some sort of “fall out”.  I believe it is spiritual warfare – Satan has lost the war.  Yet he still wants to win every battle and do everything he can to neutralize the work we do for God’s Kingdom.  This has been …

Plan for next week

February 21, 2016 Thad and I take time at least once a week to get focused for the week ahead.  Sometimes we need to expand the time frame, but every week, we make time to talk about what is coming and what needs to happen … we cover everything from meals, appointments, date time, down time, …

Remembering can be hard

February 16, 2016 Over the past 7-10 days, I have been asked to revisit the past in a bold way.  Sometimes the walk down memory lane can bring joy … sometimes it can be incredibly painful. I pray that during this time of remembering, I remember things in a way that honors God.  I pray …
