A while ago, I found a post by Jackie Hill Perry about prayer. She was encouraging prayer for the little things. Praying specifically for things that are “insignificant”. I decided to start implementing this because of her next thought. Jackie mentioned that if we didn’t learn to pray about the little things and…
5 Years
Disclaimer: Don't read if you're not in the mood for sad content. I hope to publish something encouraging and positive soon but right now, I feel the need to share this instead. I clearly remember the discussion Jon and I had on our honeymoon. We talked about what life would be like when we had…
Am I Guilty?
As someone who claims to have accepted salvation, my knee-jerk response to this question is “No, I am not guilty.” And praise the Lord, that is true. But do I walk around with guilt looming over my head? Now that’s a different question. Although it’s completely unnecessary to do so, I have seen that I…
Omnipotent
As I read the Psalms, I am so blessed. Today I read chapter 62 and was impressed by these verses. “God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion, For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work.”…
If there’s one piece of advice I’d give my newlywed self… (edited)
Not sure if there’s only one thing I’d like to tell her but, this one has been rolling around in my brain a lot lately. I would tell her to be grateful and appreciative. She would probably laugh and wonder why I ever thought she wouldn’t be grateful and I’d let her go on…

Just Say Something
I was listening to an audiobook as I went about my day and I honestly wish I could copy the author word for word. But since they were her words, not mine, I will try to share my perspective here. We as humans always want to have something to say. If you have gone through…
An Inside Look
Imagine this: you and your best friend have a problem. It's a very big problem. One that causes both of you a lot of pain. It affects a lot of your life and you really wish it could be solved because of how it affects your friends life. Sometimes you are hurting so much because…
Friendships During Hardships
Laying in bed but wide awake (thanks to a delicious latte), I want to take this time to share two experiences I had this week. I’ve had a lot of flashbacks to the early days of our infertility journey this past month. Firstly, we are redoing some of the testing we did two…
My Thoughts Are Higher than Yours (Part II)
God's Word spoken in Isaiah is still true, even when, especially when we don't understand. As many of you know, we are not in Texas. I am not teaching school. In fact, we don't even have adoption plans anymore. I feel like I'm writing a story about someone else. All the events since my last…
