Dearest Fellow Planning Nerds, I have hunted for the perfect planner for years, and in a perfect world, I'd have gobs of time for bullet journaling. No premade planner compares! But you know I'm not in that perfect world, so I created a printable weekly spread based off years of planners and my favorite weeklies … Continue reading Free Weekly Planner Pages

Not Your Typical Woman
“Not Your Typical Woman” (I can hear some of the men from my church laughing and saying, “Ain’t that they truth?!” 😂 so glad I have had these “uncles” to tease me throughout my life.) In the last year, I learned what it means to be neurotypical vs. neurodivergent. I am the latter. In some … Continue reading Not Your Typical Woman
The 6 Month Facebook Hiatus
Six months ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. I was convicted about all the time I was wasting and all the ways I was letting social media dictate my thoughts. Like much of the world, it can be used to take our hearts and minds away from what really matters if we aren’t very intentional. … Continue reading The 6 Month Facebook Hiatus
The 19 Year Afghan: A Personal Narrative
I've been told that people think I'm fragile and/or dramatic because I am so open with my personal struggles. I am a lot of things, but fragile is not one of them. Fragile like a bomb, maybe(LOL. Totally kidding). Dramatic? I don't know. I'm a pretty serious person. I don't enjoy drama, but I'm always … Continue reading The 19 Year Afghan: A Personal Narrative
Stop to Listen
The people who know me best know I am stubborn and have strong opinions. Some of them are well formed, and some of them are sort of innately rooted from my upbringing. In our society today, there are so many people like me with strong opinions, and the handling of such is poor and has … Continue reading Stop to Listen

Have you ever been praying and had an image pop into your mind that is a perfect metaphor of what God is trying to teach you? Today I was praying for God to help me to be more intentional about leading my children to walk closely with Him, and the image of a relief worker … Continue reading Returning to the Source
A Note to Mothers Who are Struggling: What Do You Want Them to Remember?
Hey there, Momma. Have you been struggling, weighed down by ALL THE THINGS you have to do just to get through a day? I was on full out survival mode for a good two years; maybe more, but I really don't want to count. I have a real tendency to get choked under the hold … Continue reading A Note to Mothers Who are Struggling: What Do You Want Them to Remember?
Just Show Up: How to Love Your Neighbor
I’ve learned something huge about what it means to love one another this year, and I wish I could go back and teach it to my younger self. Over the last 12 months, I cannot even count how many times people supported my family and showed us actual, tangible love. We bought a house last … Continue reading Just Show Up: How to Love Your Neighbor
Holy Spirit, You Are Welcome Way Down Here
I'm finding that I have a hard time writing about life as it's happening. I'm better at narratives, which means I find my footing better in hindsight. Bear with me, as I attempt to share in the midst... 2017 has had some really big moments. We bought a house, Hosanna learned to walk, Josiah started … Continue reading Holy Spirit, You Are Welcome Way Down Here
Stop Hiding. Shame is Not Your Guide
There’s this thing that keeps up isolated, this thing that keeps us from being freely connected to Christ and the people in our lives. I’ve been pondering this thing, SHAME, because of the destruction I see it causing. Shame is a liar. It tells us that our sin, our struggle, our mess is unique. It … Continue reading Stop Hiding.
