A few years ago, our family went on some away rotations to five different cities for five months. We had three kids at the time. Everything we took had to fit in our car. The only toys we brought were a basket of cars, the game Jenga, and one stuffed animal. We each packed five […]

My husband shared this TED talk with me last night, and I couldn’t help but feel like the dancing guy was my kindred spirit! Take a look: I have always been drawn to share my faith in Christ. I feel an overwhelming urgency to share it. It almost scares me how compelled I feel– so […]

I’ve been praying about this space for a long time. I don’t really feel like I have figured out it’s full potential yet. So I am just kind of rolling with it and posting when I feel impressed.  So just bare with me! I am a slow learner. I feel slow of speech (fo’ reals! ). […]

(Read a talk about “Tender Mercies” HERE) I have seen a few of these tender mercies in the past few months with […]

I started the hashtag #SheRunsOnFaith a couple years ago determined to share the importance and power of relying on faith in everyday life, especially when it comes to trials. I wanted to share my recent trial of faith with you. I believe in sharing weaknesses— not from a “Woe is me!” standpoint, but rather, a […]

I recently had the opportunity to team up with my friends at The Small Seed and share a little tidbit about scripture study at our house. The article itself if full of many great ideas from real families that just might be able to help you in your day to day discipleship. It always helps me […]
