Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
My two-year-old daughter loves to play games. And unfortunately for this mama-with-places-to-be-at-a-certain-time, that game is not something calm, cooperative and peaceful.
My girl loves to be chased.
I blame her Daddy. Because yeah, it is super fun to play “Chase around the table in our pajamas” when we have nowhere to be on a Saturday morning. Her peals of laughter make it almost worth it.
Almost. [Read more…]
I am grateful for technology.
Sure, this wired world of ours has some drawbacks– the temptation to be constantly distracted, being “not present,” or additional frustration when the technology we are relying on fails us. But overall, technology is primarily a blessing.
Especially since a lot of my ministry is online. And because I have a toddler.
Being a work-at-home-mom is a challenge. I am so thankful that I have flexibility to do God’s work mostly in our home, but the pull of parenting/all-the-other-Jesusy-things causes me to constantly question my priorities. [Read more…]
You might have noticed that in this current season, Wednesdays are my days to work toward some super-awesome God-sized dreams. So here is a blast from the past straight from the archives. Enjoy, dear friends… and thanks for the grace.

Sometimes you have to be knocked down to get your balance. Or perhaps you need to be broken into pieces before you experience real peace.
I love it when God reveals concepts in a new and fresh way… which is exactly what happened to me last week.
My emotions, fears, hopes, feelings have been all over the board in the last couple of weeks. But during my quiet time last Thursday, God gave me a revelation that literally changed my life.
The amount of peace in your life is directly proportionate to the extent in which you trust God. [Read more…]
This world gets a little cray-cray every now and then.
Or maybe it seems crazy for you EVERYDAY. Regardless of where you stand with your “peace level,” we don’t have to allow our surroundings or events dictate it.
Hence, this nifty pinnable AND printable pic. (If you like it, feel free to pin on Pinterest or click the blue link below to print it out. Just sayin.) [Read more…]
I am smack dab in the middle of learning what it means to be a new Mama while moving across the country. No big deal, right? (It is an adventure, that is for sure!) So today as I considered what bloggy ministry message God wanted me to share, He put this one on my heart. (Actually, He put the song on Pandora which made me think of this post written a little while ago…)
As my Beloved Brandon and I make new memories with our little one as we seek out our new home with the army, I couldn’t help but get all gushy thinking about my parents. This post recalls one of my favorite childhood memories with my dad… and my heavenly Father.
Where do you go to meet with the Father? I would love to hear all about it. Feel free to comment below!
Praying today is full of Him!

Growing up in northwest Kansas as the daughter in a farming/ranching family provided me with many chances to “get away.” Ok, let’s be honest– we were 90 miles from the nearest Wal-Mart. We were always “away,” so actually going somewhere aka civilization was a big deal. [Read more…]
Sometimes you just can’t help but appreciate the businesses that are open 24/7.
I mean seriously– just think about it… The places that are open round-the-clock are usually those businesses that are most important or that we have to use in emergencies. Hospitals, fire stations, police/law enforcement, some gas stations, some pharmacies (like Walgreens) and even Wal-Mart and Waffle House. (Granted, Wal-Mart and Waffle House might not be needed in emergency situations– but it’s still super convenient!)
I can’t help but be thankful not only for these modern-day services and conveniences– but also am so grateful that our God is a 24/7 kind of dude. [Read more…]
“If only I hadn’t… I wish I didn’t… Why can’t I go back… It’s all my fault.”
Regrets. Mistakes. We all have ’em. We’ve all made ’em.
So what are we supposed to do?
This week, we have been working through reasons why our hearts can be blocked and how we grow apart from Christ. (Click to read the original post here.) Yesterday was all about forgiving others… a hard but necessary topic. [Read more…]
When I was a little girl, Easter ranked in the top 4 of the most exciting and wonderful days of the year. It was just behind Christmas, my birthday and the last day of school. I loved hunting for eggs and that feeling of excitement as I came down the hall peered into the kitchen… and on top of the deep freeze, our Easter baskets would always be sitting, overflowing with candy and toys.
Ahhh. Those were the days. [Read more…]
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Are we there yet?
What’s gonna happen next?
What should I do?
Ahhh, yes…Everyday questions… Many of which lack solid answers. Kind of like a lot of the questions we have for God about our lives. [Read more…]
