Okay, not really on my nightstand. Because reading at night equals one thing for me. Sleep. But these are the books I am reading. And I was encouraged to share today after reading a great blog post about the importance of feeding our souls in between Sundays. It’s good. And a wee bit convicting… in a really good way. If… Read More
a change of plans
Oh my goodness, y’all. So much good stuff going on. As y’all know, my man retired from the military last fall. He recently began a new job in the new field in which he wanted to work, and things were humming along. Okay, he was working crazy long hours and was completely exhausted (which, if you know the energy and… Read More
a word
A while back, I felt like the Lord laid a specific word on my heart… intentional. in·ten·tion·al [in-ten-shuh-nl] adjective 1. done with intention or on purpose; intended. I haven’t responded as I’d hoped or even as I’d expected I would. As in, I fail all. the. time. at being intentional. But the impact of my meager efforts and willingness to… Read More
thankful
I’m not gonna lie. It’s been a hard week. Discouraging. Disheartening. But God didn’t leave me there. He showed up and reminded me Who is in control. And all I have to be thankful for in my relationship with Him. My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my… Read More
the lens
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time. About, you know, that lens. The one that I mentioned had a big ol’ story behind it. And tonight I just feel like I need to write it. I want to not only remember what God did, but I also want to remember just how mind-blowing it was to… Read More
what I have been doing.
So, y’all might have noticed that I haven’t been around quite as much. And that’s been deliberate. I have felt like I need to step back a bit to get a fresh perspective on my priorities. How I spend my time, my energy. How I spend my self. Because, whether we want to believe it or not, we are spending… Read More
in the air
There is something in the air around here. Beyond the smell of dogs and dirty socks. It is change. And lots of it. My husband and I are in the midst of some big changes that are happening seemingly simultaneously. Some changes have come on slowly and steadily. Others have pounced on us unexpectedly. But right now it feels like… Read More
husbands and wives
disclaimer: I am a Christ-following, stay-at-home mama. So, it would naturally follow that this post is written from the perspective of a Christ-following, stay-at-home mama. My goal here is to encourage, and to help others who are struggling. This is simply my opinion, from lessons I’ve learned on this journey called life. I am not a professional, nor do I… Read More
if I can, you can.
I blog. I don’t speak. Speaking is just not my gift. Blogging isn’t really either, but at least I can do that in the privacy of my own home, propped up on my comfy couch, wearing paint-stained sweats and socks with a hole in the toe. I can write, delete, and backspace all day. And the end result is, generally,… Read More
the hoop
I love it when God smiles on me. I love it even more when He smiles on my kiddos. And on Sunday, He did just that. Dalton has been wanting a basketball hoop since… well, forever. And time has only caused it to intensify. He has a basketball – or the nerf version of a basketball – in his hands… Read More
