Tired..
Current situation….. Not going to lie, this afternoon has been a bit cray. My little people have been off the chain. (Did I miss a full moon somewhere?) Loud, crazy, messy and did I say LOUD? They raised their voices. I raised mine. No one was being heard. Tiny people quickly release those frustrations and…

“Where ya joy at?”
I kept trying to rename this post. But I can’t get past these words. My heart is so burdened for us as the church this morning. Where. Is. Our. Joy?? When the world looks at us, do they see anything that makes them want what we have? Heck, do we look like we want what we…

To The Barren Woman { Special Guest Post by Loretta Yopp! }
Does Mother’s Day find you in an uncomfortable place? It is not by chance you found these words today. You need a few moments to be encouraged, beautiful friend. Push that darling little brew button on your coffee maker and pull up a seat at the table and let’s talk through this thing. Because you…

Fighting With Faith
You think it could never happen to you. Until you find a lump. And then everything changes. This is my friend, Sarah. Her and her husband have a beautiful little girl and two foster children. They also pastor a growing church in Braydenton, FL. She’s young. A healthy eater. And cancer doesn’t…

Little Victories
Today, it happened. And I can’t contain myself! Today, I stepped on the scale and lost it. It’s not as easy to lose the weight after baby # 3 and God knows I’ve been trying. And today it has finally paid off. I’ve lost…. Not 20.. Not 15… No, not even 10. I’ve lost…….5………

No More Excuses

Don’t Hide Your Gift <3
Since the beginning of time, God has been in the fixer upper business. He doesn’t generally pick those in the front of the line. He’s known for patiently waiting on those the world overlooks. The rejected, despised, “too young,” “too old,” inexperienced newbies. He takes the ones who are picked last in gym class and brings them…

Your Prayers are Precious to God
Reading in Revelations this morning, I was humbled to the point of tears. The kids will be up soon and I don’t want you to miss this so I’ll make it quick. Ready? Your prayers aren’t just hitting the ceiling. (I know sometimes it really does feel this way, doesn’t it?) No, my sweet…

In the Potter’s Hands
Sometimes we find ourselves being thrusted into uncomfortable, unfamiliar places. Life gets unbearable, painful and just plain sucky at times. It’s easy in our human nature to tense up, clam up and close up. But instead – God wants us to grow. He wants us to prosper and gain wisdom and knowledge. And sometimes we…

Step Into the Light
Light and darkness cannot coexist. Either there is total darkness without the presence of light, or there is light overtaking the darkness. Think about it. Your bedroom is pitch black because all lights are off. When you turn on a lamp or flip a light switch – instant light! The darkness can no longer remain…
