Burning Embers
I have always had passion for youth ministry. It’s been in my heart since my youth leader, Rhonda, told me I was a leader and saw something in me around age 13. Something in her encouragement stirred things in my heart. I knew for the first time I was made for more. My heart has…

Sigh…
(The birthday girl = angel in the pink shirt with her thinking face on.. Lol) Wasn’t sure what to title this post… But after taking a deep breath and slowly releasing it, that’s where I’m at right now. Sigh… Our darling princess just blew out her big number 5 candle today and my emotions have…

Embrace It, Mama.
An ode to mothers. Embrace the moment you’re living, Mom. Know that you’re beautiful and amazing and God wants to teach you so much through your children. Pardon me if I yawn Or have a hard time following you My days are long, nights even longer Searching after keys, lost toys and shoes My hair…

Honor Your Vehicle
Mother’s Day weekend. A bittersweet time for children, young and old, all over the world. Either you’re blessed beyond measure to have a Godly woman who has powdered your bottom and led by example, or you’re just glad you survived your childhood with very few pats on the back by the lady who donated her…

Fixer Upper
(Haha. Love that picture!) This past week has been a total blur, to say the least. Last Tuesday and Wednesday we were driving down to Florida to start our lives in this awesome, sunny, beautiful place where we felt God calling us. Thursday we moved in with the help of Gary’s parents and some families…

Extreme Tailgating
Driving down to Florida these past two days, I have been stretched waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Let me bring you up to speed a little. I’m the passenger. On trips, I’m the snack distributor, Facebook surfer, blog writer, picture taker, napping sidekick. Gary is the driver. Not me. Not because I can’t drive.…

Going Down Swinging
This day started on the wrong foot. It’s like a continuation from yesterday. And the day before. And the week before. Yeah. It’s been a rough few weeks. I woke up this morning exhausted from one kid coughing all night long, my throat scratchy, a junked up nose, and a kid who needs at least…

3 Old Mascaras
Digging through my makeup bag, I pick up three old mascaras before I finally find my brand new Cover Girl one. The others haven’t made their way to the trash yet. I’m always scared one will get jacked up and not go on right so I’ve kept the others as backups. Just in case. Can’t…

The Triscuit Man
I’m on my 30 minute lunch from working a promo event at Walmart. Man, this Subway cookie is off the chain. No, the promo isn’t for Subway. It’s actually for Magnum ice cream bars. A few minutes ago I watched the Triscuit vender stock product in front of me. He moved the cracker boxes around,…

Backup Singer
You’ve been their biggest fan since their first album was released. The moment you heard their voice, you were hooked. You’ve had a few back stage moments snagging autographs and pictures with them at concerts, and you own every t-shirt and arm band they’ve come out with. It’s Friday morning. Your phone rings. Omg. It’s…
