  • Being a little scatter brained isn’t necessarily a bad thing

    My husband often teases me that I have a horrid memory, and I won’t lie. I get scatterbrained often with so many things constantly running through my mind. Occasionally something slips out. It’s not always good to be scatterbrained, I get that. But honestly, there are times when I don’t think it’s too bad to…

  • Eternal Happiness is a Fairytale…

    They say that we should be in the pursuit of happiness. You should do whatever makes you happy.  I see a problem with this thought process and here’s why:  Happiness is defined as the state of being happy Let’s break that down a little further  Happy is defined as a feeling. Whereas state is defined as a…

  • Are you listening?

    Are you listening?

    My girls really enjoy this show called Girl Meets World. This show is very nostalgic for me to my childhood as it is a spinoff of one of my childhood favorites, Boy Meets World.  One thing I love about this show (and I am super bummed that it cancelled after 3 season because it was…

  • (Not) A God of Second Chances

    (Not) A God of Second Chances

    Recently, I wrote a post about believing in the impossible and trusting that God is moving in ways that are unbelievable.  This can be a real struggle when you deal with people. Especially when you see God work miraculous things in another’s life and they still refuse to acknowledge all that He has pulled them…

  • Believe in the WHO – not the impossible HOW!

    Believe in the WHO – not the impossible HOW!

    In the book, Alice in Wonderland, Alice is quoted saying this,  Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast. When was the last time you believed in something impossible in a day let alone before breakfast? What about a week?  I understand how hard it can be to believe in something…

  • Stick to your guns…with LOVE

    Stick to your guns…with LOVE

    In light of Valentine’s Day, I’m thinking we all have love on our mind. But I want to take a moment and not talk about romantic love but the kind of love we should share with others every day.  It seems that in the day and age, we are slowly forgetting how to love others.…

  • The Master’s Hand

    The Master’s Hand

    I have come across so many people and even myself who have doubted their worth.  I may sound like a broken record here in stating how God loves you and that Christ thought you worthy enough to die for but let’s be honest, sometimes things take a bit to sink in. Especially when we have…

  • Unstick the Dots

    Unstick the Dots

    Okay so my title may seem confusing, but stay with me here.  Recently, my 6-year old faced a trial. She’s been playing basketball for the last 2 years. She has enjoyed it and had fun. Turns out she’s a pretty good little shooter!  However, mid-year this season she started to adamantly refuse to play. It…

    365 new days, 365 new chances

    As we begin a new year, it’s great to know that we can start fresh. Living in South Dakota, I find that January is our coldest month. I am a girl that should’ve been born near the ocean but instead I live as far as possible in temperatures that could never come close to be…

  • Come on…

    I will admit I am angry. Yes. I am angry. And this is the one and probably only time that I will go on a slight political rant but not for reasons you think.  I am angry at America. Not because of the election that took place and hear me when I say that I…
