Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
Did you know 1 in 4 women go through a miscarriage, infant loss or stillbirth? Pretty crazy, huh? I really didn't know many people who had a miscarriage/stillbirth before I had my own miscarriage.

A Vision? What’s That?
So many people, especially young people, ask me this. When I tell them the reason behind what we do is because of our vision, I get blank stares. "But, what vision? What's a vision?" Let me just say right now, this is not some "God-came-to-me-in-a-dream" deal. This is what our whole scope, our whole life … Continue reading A Vision? What’s That?

Go Lower
Today I want to share with you a bit from Ann Voskamp's "One Thousand Gifts" book. "To receive God's gifts, to live exalted and joy filled, isn't a function of straining higher, harder, doing more, carrying long the burdens of the super-Pharisees or ultra-saints. Receiving God's gifts is a gentle, simple movement of stooping lower. … Continue reading Go Lower

Trying Your Hardest
Y'all, marriage is hard work. Sometimes. I love being married. Yes, I've only been married for 6 months, but we've had a lot happen in that time.
