Tell me about a time…
You were on a team and it impacted your life. The pastor leading the group discussion sits down to my left and angles toward me. I’m already uncomfortable. I’m sitting in the second seat, stage right of a U-shaped seating arrangement. It only occurred to me after I sat down that it was most likely…

Life has been a little hectic lately.
Life has been a little hectic lately. In the last 7 weeks or so, I have worked in inordinate amount of overtime. Do you still call it overtime when you’re a salaried employee? Not just a few late nights here and there or a few early meetings but multiple days’ worth of time. Leading up to our…

Looking Back at 2016
I’ve struggled to put this past year into words. It’s been the worst as a whole with the brightest spots of beauty, joy, love, and grace perfectly placed to create a #2016bestnine. In truth, the moments were much more than posed pictures. They were divine intervention. God’s hand placed heavily on my heart, proclaiming his…

New Moms, Blog Posts, Social Media, and the Need to Impress

Wedding Season and Marriage Advice
Anyone who has been through it before will tell you that there is a season in life when the majority of your friends get married. And while I can’t definitively say that this is it for Freddy and me, I’m thinking this it! So far this year, Freddy and I have been honored to receive…

I Cannot Deny that He is Present
I start off my day with an alarm clock chirping to warn me of the impending workday. It’s not just any workday, however; it’s Saturday. I roll over in an attempt to ignore my alarm clock and realize that sometime between going to bed and waking up, I’ve been joined by my handsome husband. The…

Building a Foundation
As of this past Sunday, Freddy and I have started the process to become members at our home church of the past year+. Yay! We’re building a foundation for our lives together. You may not be religious, but I assure you that the closer Freddy and I are with God individually, the closer we are…

Pick up the pace. Lub-Dub. Lub-Dub.
Yes, it’s time to pick up the pace, to take a leap of faith. I, for one, believe that faith is a funny thing. (Note that I’m not commenting on religious faith here but rather the generally applied definition of faith which we feel free to place in people, situations, goals, or time frames. That…
