Encouragement for the Journey
I recently ran into something online that shocked me. It was shared by a Christian leader who was advocating the absolute wrong kind of self care, including reminders to “be selfish,” to think of our kids as burdens, and to put our own happiness first in our marriages. When I came across these words, I […] Read more…
It’s not my kids. It’s me who’s fussy today. To be completely honest, I’m not exactly thrilled about stay-at-home mom life at the moment.

My grandma always encouraged me to sing. Ever since she saw me perform a solo at my high school’s variety show, she’d prod me gently any chance she could get. I’m not a performer and hate to be in the spotlight, and she knew it. She also knew that I wouldn’t respond well to pressure, […] Read more…

ONE My Grandma This past week, we celebrated my grandma’s life. She’s joining her husband of 50+ earthly years in heaven, and I’m so glad for her. I’ll miss her, though.
