a road map of friendships.

photo credit We have moved quite a bit in our 10 1/2 years of marriage. I’ve had the blessing of meeting lot of new friends. But I’ve also experienced the hardship of saying goodbye to friends. At first, I was not that good. I didn’t want change. I expected friends and friendships to stay the […]

our song.

Our girls were born 6 weeks early. In twin terms that isn’t too bad. Still, between the two of them we had over 5 weeks in the hospital. Theia was transferred to a NICU just hours after she was born because of respiratory distress. She took an hour an half ambulance ride without us, until […]

today I learned.

Today I learned something from my son. Something big. We were at the gym playing basketball. On the court next to us were 5 boys almost twice the age of Mason playing a full court game. Mason said he wanted to play with them. The protective mama bear in me wanted to say no. I […]

simple words.

I am reading through the bible this year and right about now I am stumbling my way through Leviticus.  It’s a lot of do’s and don’t’s and I get lost in most of it to be honest. But what does catch my attention is the phrase that is repeated many times over: “Fear your God. […]

Just be me.

photo credit As I write this I am so happy. I am so content. I am alone. Thankful for the hours my loving husband gave me to go off and do as I please. After a couple quick, necessary errands that needed to done I found my way to a coffee shop with laptop in […]

Choose love.

We are keeping the family monthly memory verses going and in the spirit of Valentines Day we chose a verse about love. Because really His love is the best to share with others. Isn’t it? We love because he loved us first! 1 John 4:19  

What are you fighting for?

On Wednesday mornings I go to a 5:30 am spin class. It kicks my butt and I love it. It is a fight all the way. But I do it. It’s a fight to get up in the morning, especially if I didn’t get to bed at a decent time or I was up with […]
