Childlike Faith..
This little girl stole our hearts over 6 years ago. From the moment I was pregnant, we began praying for our precious peanut. Ultrasound glamor shots, little kicks and prenatal hiccups quickly began a beautiful relationship between our little family of soon-to-be-three! She’s always loved music. From a little princess still in training and nestled…

Taking a little break <3

As many of you know, I’m on the craziest journey right now. I’ve never experienced God’s favor and so many open doors in my life! God opened the door for me to have my very first article published in a local newspaper, Gulf Coast Family, for the month of July. They’ve just asked me to…

White Nuckled Grip
We try so hard to get this thing right. We work hard, push far beyond our means and many times left feeling exhausted and alone. What are you holding on to with white nuckles? Expectations? Dreams? Frustrations? Strained relationships? Can I be honest with you? We weren’t meant to carry these heavy burdens. Let. It.…

Calm in the Chaos

I don’t know about you, but our lives can be so chaotic. My husband works full-time, I work part-time, we both serve our church as youth pastors, and I’m currently getting ready for the She Speaks Conference and writing my first book. Whew! All this on top of typical wifey/mommy duties. There will always be…

#GodisAwesome

If you know me, you know being speechless is not a common struggle for me. Well, sometimes God just completely blows you away and you’re left with your mouth gaping wide open. My mind has been blown. And before I could regain my composure, BOOM. Mind blown. Again. And Again. Is this normal…

More than a cuddly kitten

Perhaps my expectations were entirely too low. Our theme was jungle safari. And boy was it a jungle. About…

Can you hear me now?
: The cold shoulder is the worst. Especially when you have no idea why the other person refuses to utter even the slightest grunt in your direction. There’s no long intro here. Let’s cut straight to the chase. Sometimes we struggle hearing from God. It’s like the phone line has been cut and the dial…

Sleeping in the Car
Allow me to set up the scene for you. I’m getting ready to pick up Landon from Gary’s arms and bring him to bed. Upon entering his room, my eyes gaze upon a horrific sight : a GIANT mutant creature (a.k.a. Palmetto Bug a.k.a. Biggest cockroach EVER). A life or death decision must be made:…

Strength for the Journey

You know, this past year has been a crazy one. We’ve struggled with quite the chaotic season of sickness that began the day after we planted our butts in Clearwater, Florida. I asked the other day at the pediatrician’s office if I could get a printout of all the times we’ve been there this past…
