Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
Charis wasn’t just the inspiration for this blog… She helped.
This post has been a while in the making.
After all, I HAVE been a mama for a whopping 5 months.
Oh wait. You mean that’s just the beginning? Well, even though I still have a few decades to go as a mama, I wanted to share with you some of the lessons I have learned (and am still learning) as a new mama. [Read more…]
Sometimes we find ourselves in a big ol’ fat life mess.
Perhaps it’s due to a decision we made. Or a choice someone else made. Or a life season. Or whatever. The important thing to remember is that when we are in a big ol’ fat life mess… God is sovereign, He is over it all, and knows what He is doing.
And oftentimes, if we open our eyes (and our hearts!) that mess will turn into a pretty suh-weet Jesus message.
Been there. Done that. Living it now. [Read more…]
Over the past several months, my beloved hubby and I have been privileged to experience the joy of pregnancy. This lil one has been cooking for 8 months now– and we have learned A LOT. (I know, I know– the real learning doesn’t start til he/she gets here. But we have learned/grown in the meantime.)

It seemed simple enough, but to a group (gaggle? posse? flock?) of 7th grade girls, this was the dare of all dares. As I neared the middle of the road, I grew confident. “Pshaw. This is easy,” I thought to myself.
Suddenly, my friends start squawking and squealing. Headlights were coming. Sure, they were a good half-mile away, but WHO was driving on the road at 3am in the country? My heart raced. I turned and ran faster than I ever had in my life. A jumble of screaming girls piled into the tent. We peeked out the zipper flap to make sure the car passed by.
But the car turned into the driveway.
We tried to stifle our screams of terror as waited to meet the unknown stranger that would surely be our demise… [Read more…]
