Liberty is HERE! December 6th, 2021 was the day I became a mom of two. Well, two here on earth.❤️ TWO! I still can’t believe it. And it’s already been a little over ten months since she was born. I’m in a constant state of awe over her and so grateful. Every time I look at her, I can’t believe she
Wake up. Go to work. Eat. Sleep. Work. Eat. Sleep. Family. Eat. Sleep. Friends. Work. Eat. Sleep. Church. Eat. Sleep. Work. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. That was my life. Stale. Purposeless. There. Don’t get me wrong. Life wasn’t always like that. I had moments when life was great: birthday celebra
I hate rejection. I think one of the worst feelings in the world is rejection. Feeling like I don’t truly belong. Intentionally left out. And admittedly so, it happens to me with anyone. At anytime. With people I know. With people I don’t know. With people I barely know. With people I really, reall
Have you ever looked at certain parts of your life and wondered, “Why is this part of my story?” More specifically, the hard stuff that caused pain, or maybe still causing pain. You wonder when it will end. When you’ll recover from the setback you never saw coming. If you’re like me, you had an idea
I’ve been strong And I’ve been broken within a moment I’ve been faithful And I’ve been reckless at every bend I’ve held everything together And watched it shatter I’ve stood tall and I have crumbled In the same breath I have wrestled And I have trembled toward surrender Chased my heart adrift And d
“Our obsession with being seen can become the enemy of being known.” I’ve been thinking about this for 3 days. Saw it on Instagram . It spoke directly to an area I’ve been wresting with for a long time. So when I read it, it pierced me deep. Loneliness isn’t a lack of friends or family. It’s no
I started watching this new show called Now With Natalie . So I went to her Insta page and saw a quote of hers that really made me stop to think. (My favorite type of quote!) “How can you expect stability from a broken identity?” This is one of those quotes that stopped me in my tracks. It’s su
When you were a little kid did you ever daydream about what you wanted your life to look like? “One day I want ________ !” You’ve probably filled that blank in with anything and everything. Oh, the endless possibilities when you’re nine. All the Lisa Frank stickers. Puppies. Be famous. Endless N.K.
Hey everyone! I’ve got a quick and simple little post here. I wanted so share a few worship songs in my constant rotation right now. Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I have! I love worship so much. It’s changed my life and there’s nothing like being in God’s presence. Where the spirit of the L
I’ve had a whole spectrum of feelings try and infiltrate my brain over the last several months. I hate that I think them. I hate that I stew on them longer than I should, but like I mentioned in my very first post , I want to be honest with some of my struggles. And boy, it’s been a struggle. It’s
Today, I’m here to simply tell you YOU GO GIRL! OR YOU GO BOY! Keep up the good work! Whatever you’ve got going on that you’re fighting your way through—Great job, my friend. You’re a freaking rock star. It’s so easy to get discouraged when things get difficult. I can’t tell you how many towels I’ve
I remember having a conversation with a friend a long time ago about how much extra time we would have in our lives if eating and sleeping weren’t things we had to do to stay alive. Have you ever thought about that? How much time we’d get back in our day? We’d get at least five more hours and that’s lowballing it! Think of all the things you could get done. Even now, more than ten years later, I still think about that conversation. It makes me laugh because I was still in college (don’t ask), still living at home (don’t hate) and more than likely my biggest care in the world at that time were my plans for the weekend. If time was an issue when I was single and living at home, I wonder what I would’ve done with more time back then, even if I had it. Would I have stewarded it well? Extra time causes us to focus on what’s important to us—or even more so, what’s not. Eesh.
In the words of the Biebs, “Is it too late now to say sorry?” Have you ever had a revelation that made your head explode? You’re living your best life, so you think, then God drops this major revolutionary truth bomb on you and you feel, well—the word humble barely begins to describe it. If I can, I’d like to humbly begin to tell you about my bomb.
Have you ever felt like despite all of your praying and all of your bible reading that God just wasn’t answering any of your prayers? That He was staying quiet for way too long? You stayed with it though. Tried to stay faithful. You kept believing. However, even in doing “all the things” us Christia
Do you ever feel like your spouse is more like a roommate? You do your thing, they do theirs. You pass each other in the hallway. Conversations are brief and light. I have.
Hi!!! Ahh!!!! Freaking out a bit, because this is my first post and I’m so, so suuuper excited!!!! I get excited very easily about things. Can you tell from the amount of exclamation marks I’ve used so far??!!?!! My husband makes fun of me because when we’re driving and I see new construction going
