Drop the Rocks: You can’t heal while holding grudges

I’ve been doing a Bible study recently with some wonderful ladies using a devotional by Nicky and Pippa Gumbel. One morning, Nicky shared something about forgiveness that stopped me in my tracks. Now, I’ve talked about forgiveness before. I’ve written blogs, recorded podcasts, and shared why it matters so deeply. But this one line from…

22 Years In—and Still Choosing Each Other

I once heard a podcaster state that marriage is easy. I had to laugh at that and vehemently disagree. Because anyone who’s been married for a while knows this truth: even on the best days, marriage isn’t easy. It’s beautiful, yes—but it’s also hard. I love my husband deeply. He’s an incredible man, and I’m…

Sleeping Beauty had it wrong…

I think we all know the story of Sleeping Beauty. Princess Aurora was cursed as a baby by a vindictive sorceress that she would prick her finger on a spindle at the age of 16 and die. Then the fairies changed the curse that she wouldn’t die, but fall asleep until her prince would wake…

Not Living, Simply Not Dying

As we are still in the midst of this pandemic, though there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I feel pressed to remind and encourage everyone to keep living. For most of us, we’ve been stuck in this quarantined state, barely leaving our homes. For many, they are paralyzed by fear of…

My heart has ached so much for the people in the beautiful state of Florida, the great state of Texas and all others affected by the hurricanes. My heart also goes out to all of those that are affected by the wildfires out in the west. But even more so, my heart grieves over some…

Opportunities amidst the frustration and chaos?

I am often amazed at how when I pray specifically for something, something else happens that seems to counteract what I am praying for. For example, if I am praying to be a better wife to my husband, seems that something happens and a fight erupts and it’s more of an I want to punch…

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…

Seriously? This is news?

Recently my eye caught an article that made me stop and go why? Vice-President Mike Pence made a statement that he would not have dinner alone with any woman but his wife. Now for something that, in my opinion, should be applauded that he takes his marriage seriously and never wants to do anything that…

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…
