I see you there, sweet, tired momma. I know that you had a little one that kept you up all night, and a toddler that was jumping with excitement at the first light of morning. I know you are beyond just being tired. You've crossed the threshold from "tired" to bone aching exhaustion, yet in… Continue reading A Momma’s Worship

Waiting for my heart to catch up…
I know what is true. I know the right things to say. I know it in my mind. I've tucked truth away in my heart… YET, my heart still lags behind at times. Recently, I struggled. I was blindsided by something that pretty much knocked my feet out from under me. I knew what I… Continue reading Waiting for my heart to catch up…
Let’s Entertain Ourselves…
I did a quick Google search for the definition of "entertainment". I found several suggested definitions, but the first one that came up was a good culmination of several that used the same types of words: "the action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment." When I am entertained, I am being provided… Continue reading Let’s Entertain Ourselves…
Band-Aid on a Broken Leg
Sin. Such a yucky word. Most of us don't like to talk about it, but we have not even begun to grasp the reality of it. We have yet to grasp beyond the uncomfortable nature of the word and move into a realm where we see sin for what it is. For what it does… Continue reading Band-Aid on a Broken Leg
An Open Letter to Girls…
Dear Girls, Hey, let's start with the "good girls". I see you walking through life with the "goody two-shoes" tag on your back. I understand that at times you feel like an outcast. I put "good girls" in quotes because, really? There is no such thing as a perfect or "good" person. We're all flawed,… Continue reading An Open Letter to Girls…
Learning to Trust
I am learning to trust. Not just a surface level trust, that is dependent upon circumstances, emotions, or feelings, but a deep trust that transcends my own nature and tendencies. It is a deep seated trust that stems from my heart. This is difficult because I like to have control. I have many traits… Continue reading Learning to Trust
Death, where is your victory?!?
A few days ago, I was sitting in a consultation with a soon-to-be bride, discussing her wedding (I am a photographer). She had a great question to ask, but for some reason, her question struck an uncomfortable nerve with me. She simply inquired about what would happen if something were to happen to me, before… Continue reading Death, where is your victory?!?
Fear – Part 2: Whom Shall I Fear?
In Part 1 of this post, we talked about fear that is negative and not beneficial for us. Today, in Part 2, I want to address something that has been on my heart for some time as well. This post is about fear, but not the kind we discussed before. This kind of fear is… Continue reading Fear – Part 2: Whom Shall I Fear?
The Ultimate Guilt Trip
It is a terrible cycle and I think that we all suffer from guilt at different times in our lives. For me, this guilt has been exaggerated throughout the course of being a mom and wife, especially since being a mom. We are darned if we do, and darned if we don't. Really. If I… Continue reading The Ultimate Guilt Trip
To Judge or Not to Judge? That is the question…
This post has been on my heart and mind for quite some time, and I am finally ready to write it out. I have truly put off this post for more than two months, as I have been searching scripture, seeking in prayer, and examining my own heart. The last thing that I want is… Continue reading To Judge or Not to Judge? That is the question…
