Happy Friday! I've been out-of-town this week visiting family. It's been fun and definitely a "growing" experience being a Momma. Traveling with a 9 month old for 8 hours in the car is NOT fun. Ahem. One thing I did not want to do is completely go off of Trim Healthy Mama, and not exercise. … Continue reading Staying Motivated to Workout on Vacation

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. Things we didn't plan for-- like getting pregnant twice and miscarrying twice. Anyone who has miscarried or lost a baby understand...there's a lot of emotions- good and bad- … Continue reading Trying Your Hardest

It'll make your family super happy! 😉 Anyway, lately I've been trying to dig into the Word more often than once a day...to have it be a passion of mine, not just something "I'm suppose to do", you know? Do you feel the same … Continue reading Developing a Passion for the Bible
A Woman’s High Calling- 10 Essentials for Godly Living
I've been reading Elizabeth George's book "A Woman's High Calling", and let me just say....it has been a tremendous blessing to me! Believe it or not, the main passage she works us through is not Proverbs 31...it's Titus 2. She reminds us that we always need to look for the "older women" in our lives...but … Continue reading A Woman’s High Calling- 10 Essentials for Godly Living
Fall Around the Homestead
This past weekend was lots of fun! The Fall conference went well, and we made lots of progress on our HVAC. I say "we"...Luke and one of his co-workers. I made them lunch...and helped Luke pull some wire when Mason left. That was the extent of my helping. While Luke was out working, I was … Continue reading Fall Around the Homestead
Delay & Suffering- Part of the Blessing
"Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great substance."- Genesis 15:13-14 Like … Continue reading Delay & Suffering- Part of the Blessing
