Faith
Rest Restored
I have to admit that I have been struggling. With the new year came a fresh perspective, a desire to start anew and rid myself of all the negativity that last year brought. A new year can mean new adventures, new stories, and new chances. I was ready and motivated to embrace all of that….
Christmas Time is Here
I remember last Christmas questioning what Advent meant to me. How could I possibly enter into a spirit of waiting for something that comes every year when I had grown out of the Santa stage? How could I transform that into anticipation for a child who came two thousand years ago? What did Advent mean…
Running the Race – #ThinnerThursday
If you would have told me back in the spring what I would accomplish over the summer, I would have shaken my head and told you that you had the wrong person. Me? Run? Run a race? Run two races? You’re crazy. Here’s the thing. I did run. I even ran a race. In fact, I…
Goodbye Cruel World
Sometimes events that permeate the social conversation make me feel strangely uncomfortable. Recently this happened with the Royal Wedding. I tried to keep my distance from it as much as possible. I can’t really rationalize why it made me uncomfortable – it just did. Maybe it is the whole fairy tale narrative that surrounded the event. Reality isn’t…
I Knew You
This verse has been so important to me in this last week (and again a few months ago). There is very little comfort in losing a pregnancy, but the knowledge that someone loves my baby(ies) as much, if not more than I do gives me some peace. I am picturing Jesus cradling my children in his arms….
Thankful Thursday: March Edition
Today marks the last day of March. And of course, we find Cameron sick again. Let me just say, I’ve been waiting for this day for a while. March has just thrown a lot of hard stuff our way. And I’m really just ready for it to be over. I’m ready for a fresh start….
Tied Down
God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him…

First Date
I’m liking the disclaimers as of late, aren’t I? I don’t know why I feel the need to place a disclaimer here, but I will none the less. This post is about faith. You may have faith. You may not. I have faith. Regardless of your views, I invite you to read this with an open…
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Peace. Peace is a word that evokes the flickering of a flame at a Christmas Eve service or the crisp newness of the freshly fallen snow draped over the lawn or a Silent Night. Christmas is peaceful. Except when it isn’t. Peace might be one of the last words I would use to describe this…
