Challenges are what make us strong. If a baby is never allowed to crawl, to explore, to fall again and again how will they learn to walk? How will they learn to develop their muscles and their confidence in their own ability? We are growing right alongside our children, no matter how old we are [...]

Ever Felt Like the Only Thing You Can Do is Pray? Me, too! And Praise God!
As moms of adult children we can either worry for them or war over them 🙏🏻🙌🏻 From the moment we learn that our children are growing in the womb, the temptation to worry rears its head. As a woman, that knowledge becomes the first thing you think of upon waking and the last thing before [...]
Are You Feeling Crushed Under the Weight of It? Good.
2 Cor. 1:3,4 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the same comfort which we ourselves are comforted by [...]
They Were the Dream
Often the first quarter of life is all about you; growing, learning, maturing, discovering your gifts. Raising children typically takes another quarter of your life. Then there are so many more years in life where you will have time to pursue other things. The Bible says "the gifts and callings of God are without repentance" [...]
What if All of it is a Gift?
***Artwork by Loré Pemberton Did you know that it’s okay to enjoy a simple life? I know it sounds so contrary to this rush, work, hustle culture that we are immersed in, but does any of this resonate with you? I know in my experience, even as a former pastor’s wife and church being a [...]

Look Who Decided to BLOOM!
Look who decided to BLOOM on Easter! I’ve never been great with indoor plants, but I’ve kept this girl alive for 10 years! And that makes me proud. I just keep showing up for her. Sometimes she gets under-watered or overwatered. Sometimes her leaves turn yellow or brown. And so I prune her and don’t [...]
Are You Holding On?
In order for our faith to be sure and firm, it must be rooted in a FINISHED WORK of CHRIST. This week I've been reflecting on ALL that Jesus did for us. How He willingly went to the cross to endure all sin and sickness on OUR behalf. If you are a parent and have [...]
RE: The Thing You Keep Avoiding
Ever hear someone tell you, “Well, don’t get your hopes up!” Or, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch!" What does that even mean? If you are a mama hen and you have a nest full of eggs, why bother sitting on them and protecting them if you don't believe that they will ALL hatch [...]
Wouldn’t it Be Great if Everyone Just Did What We Expected Them To Do?
There are many opportunities to be upset by people in our lives. From the person who cut you off in traffic, to the one who dings your car with their door and didn't say sorry, to the boss that got brilliant results with your idea and never gave you credit for it. These things are [...]
