Parenting… why did I have such a confused outlook at it? Why did I know that so many people talked about how challenging it was but never really comprehended it? Even as a child I remember hearing passing remarks about the “joys of parenting”, the frustrations and the difficulties that seem to encircle it. If […]
Choose Forever
So my husband and I began our journey together almost 15 years ago. We were 14 & 15 years old, middle school sweethearts. Clearly, when we began dating, marriage was just a dream for us. I’m sure if we were both being honest we didn’t really know how our lives would look in the future. […]
Three Little Questions to Peter
After the crucifixion of Jesus, the bible tells us that many of the disciples seemed to have lost hope and returned to the lives they had left behind. It’s arguable that Peter had felt the worst after His death, I mean after all Peter had denied his walk with Jesus not once but three times! […]
Eternally!
I think one of the biggest questions our world asks today is “If there is a God, does He love me?”. I also think that if this question were truly understood we would see far less depression and sadness in the world we live in. Everyone has a basic desire to be loved. I mean […]

Forgiven and Forgotten
So to be honest, I grew up in a believing home. As far back as I can remember I don’t think there was a time that I didn’t “believe” in God. I may not have been living my faith out to the best of my ability but I knew He was always there. I would […]

It’s Over
So that’s it, the election is over, the new President of the United States is announced and soon the discussion will subside; soon we will be able to resume our “funny cat video” binge watching, baby picture posting, and “hilarious pick up line” sharing social media experience. Some “won” in this election and some lost, […]
Piece by Piece
In our culture it isn’t unlikely to hear of absent fathers or to have experienced it first hand. It’s not uncommon to hear that most people live without a dad or if they have one they were less than ideal. Even though our circumstances may be different it is something that we all see on […]
