Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
So, at this point in the Knobloch-family-army-moving shenanigans, we had arrived at our new home-destination… But of course, the “fun” didn’t stop there. Keep reading for the ups and downs of transitioning to our new-to-us Georgia home.
(And if you are just joining us today… Catch up with Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of our transition. Feel free to point and laugh.)

Life is hard sometimes. (I think I have mentioned this once or twenty times before.)
Over the last three months or so, we have been on a journey– a journey to calm our anxious hearts and find contentment in Christ.
While the Bible study part of the journey concludes today, our heart journey continues.
Probably for the rest of our lives. And I don’t know about you, but it is a journey that I am STILL so excited to be on!
Many women have been transformed over the last few weeks by the power of Christ through trusting in Him– myself included. And I can’t wait to see where He takes us next. [Read more…]
Between 8th and 9th grade, my family built a house.
My Dad worked for a low-key home/building construction crew, and it was always a dream of my parents to not just own a home, but to have a home THEY designed and built.
So we went to work. Talk about a family bonding experience. Holy moly.
We were going through a lot during that time. Not only was I a teenager (super precious years of my life, BTW– yikes) but my lil bro was a couple of years old, my sister was also a teenager, and my grandma was living out her last year with us as cancer slowly took her life.
So we built a house in the midst of all this hoopla. I learned a lot. [Read more…]
I am not a huge fan of cleaning.
I mean, I try to keep our house in decent-ish order, as in keeping the dishes contained to their sink/cabinet areas and preventing any accidental science experiments from growing in the back of the fridge.
However, as much as I loathe the day-to-day cleaning experiences, I do occasionally get in a mood to sort, organize and purge. In those moments, nothing can stop me from tearing apart the nearest coat closet or office desk drawer.
As an army family, we move a lot– and when we move, that is the ideal time to clean. And purge. [Read more…]
“Is that enough?”
UG! Talk about a loaded question!! It doesn’t matter if we are talking about a delectable piece of dessert, our end-of-month cash flow amount, the groceries in our shopping cart or our worth/value as a person.
More often than not, even if our mouths answer yes, our heads answer no.
It’s a hard (and yucky) truth, but as consumers, Americans and HUMANS we are a greedy, selfish bunch of folks.
Sigh. Why can’t we be satisfied? [Read more…]

Have you thought lately about your roles in life?
I’m not talking about those fresh cinnamon rolls in the oven (although if that is the case, I would appreciate an invite over to your house… or you can mail them to me.) I also don’t mean the little rolls of “fluff” that might accumulate around your waistline after too many of the aforementioned pastry snacks.
Today’s post is all about the roles in life that God has called us to fill. [Read more…]
If only… My hair was longer.
If only… My thighs were smaller.
If only… I was four inches taller.
If only… I was more talented.
If only… I was 20 pounds lighter.
If only… My teeth were straighter.
If only… I was gifted like SHE is.
If only……………………….
How many times have you started a thought with the phrase “If only?” I know I have done it and occasionally still fall back into that trap, especially in the categories of physical attributes and “why-can’t-I-be-more-like-her?”
Let’s be honest—we women are exceptionally hard on ourselves. Some of us probably play the “if only” game on a daily basis. We set such high standards of needing to do it all, be it all for everybody, all the while “looking good.” [Read more…]
Hmmm… Coke or Pepsi? Tennis shoes or boots? Salad or Big Mac?
We make thousands of choices a day. I know that sounds a little bit crazy, but seriously– just think about it. From the moment we wake up, our brain is buzzing, making decisions before our feet even hit the floor. (Even the action of getting out of bed is a choice!)
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with all the choices that whack me in the face each day. Sure, I love having control (which is an entirely separate issue) but some days I halfway wish someone would just make the choice for me.
Especially the difficult ones. [Read more…]
Few things in life make me happier than a smooth, warm beverage.
From peppermint tea to hot chocolate to my favorite doctored-up cup of coffee, drinking a warm beverage out of one of my favorite mugs makes my heart sing with joy.
It’s not just a taste thing for me– it’s a total body experience. On those cool fall mornings or perhaps right before bed as I wind down from a long day, my whole being is just moved by my cup filled with liquid awesome. [Read more…]
