Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Do you like sports?
I do… And I don’t. I enjoy watching them and cheering for them, especially the Kansas State University Wildcats! (GO STATE!)
But playing sports? Uh, no thanks. Please sign me up to be the dihydrogen monoxide manager. <Water girl.>
I have never enjoyed playing any sport other than Ultimate Frisbee for the following reasons: [Read more…]
Hi friends… For the next few weeks, Wednesdays will be dedicated to re-sharing some of my favorite posts. I am so blessed to be working on some “big rocks” and pretty awesome God-sized dreams, but I need time to make that happen. So after much prayer, here we are. I pray you enjoy these words… And thanks for extending me Christ-like grace. Oh. And everything is still business as usual for our Thursday #EverydayJesus link-up, so don’t miss it!

Sometimes, life sucks.
Yeah, I said it. And yeah, I said it on a Jesus-loving Christian blog.
But its the truth. Sometimes life sucks.
We live in a world of pain. Of hurt. Of disease. Of evil. Of hard circumstances. Of moments where we wonder how the heck we are supposed to continue to function.
“Sucky” things in life range from the seemingly small and trivial (I lost my stupid wallet– again!) to the painfully large and unexplainable (Acts of terrorism. War. Violence. Etc.)
So yeah, it’s the truth. Sometimes life really just kinda sucks. [Read more…]
For my entire adult life, I have always heard parents talking about the “big” firsts in their child’s life: First tooth, first solid food, first vacation…
And yep, you guessed it– first steps.
I never really knew what a big deal those first steps were until we had a daughter of our own. [Read more…]
Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day!

Are you patient? I am not.
Although my patience level has drastically improved since walking with Christ, getting married, learning about this army-wife life and becoming a parent, “patient” still wouldn’t make my top 20 most prominent attributes in my personal description.
I am a gal who likes to get things done and get them done now. The sooner the better– then I can move onto something else.
And if it doesn’t happen quick, fast and in a hurry? I might get a little twitchy. [Read more…]
We all have them. Believe me, I know it.
Honestly, at the time that I am writing this post, I am having a moment. An episode. A day.
A day that I want to quit.
I want to quit everything. My goals, my relationships, my ministry. But I won’t. [Read more…]
I’m not really a resolution-y kind of gal.
Don’t get me wrong, I am all about fresh starts, especially when it comes to God’s mercies being new everyday or facing Monday’s with enthusiasm and drive. (Well, most of the time anyway.)
But for January 2014, God was all about the fresh starts for me. I didn’t make any resolutions. Instead, God called me to some pretty powerful God-sized dreams.
A couple of them are fitness dreams (one is that this asthmatic shall be running a 10k <that’s 6.2 miles!> in March) one is financial, a couple are spiritual. [Read more…]
Great news, peeps. After a brief holiday hiatus, our friend Lisa-Jo Baker is back and hosting our weekly Five Minute Friday Link-Up party.
Here’s the skinny: Each week Lisa-Jo gives us a prompt. Then we write. No editing, no overthinking. For five minutes.
So without further chitchat (plus baby girl is about to wake up– talk about racing against the clock!) let’s get to it.
Today’s prompt: FIGHT
And GO! [Read more…]
You might have noticed that several of my Friday posts have been “reposts” from previously published material. It’s not that I don’t have lots of new and crazy ideas about faith, but rather it is due to moving cross-country and not having a promise of a legit internet connection. So doing Five Minute Friday on the spot might be a little sketch til we get settled.
So today I would like to share with you a post that was featured as my first ever guest post… It brings a lot of great memories and I pray that it provides some encouragement in your walk with Christ! ~SGK [Read more…]
I personally believe that there is no other feeling in the world than accomplishing a huge goal and finishing strong.
Think about it…
When you cross the finish line of a race after weeks (or months!) of training… When you hit SUBMIT on that last paper for a really tough class… When you walk across the stage and receive that diploma that has been years in the making… When after 9 months, that little baby is finally laid in your arms for the first time…
Yep. There’s no other feeling in the world. [Read more…]
