Embracing God’s Strength in our Weakness

Learning to embrace God’s strength in our weakness is not something that happens overnight. It is also something that does not happen during the happy times of our life. These lessons are learned through tears and heartache, loneliness and depression, and anxiety and fear. The wonderful news is that we have hope. Our hope becomes […]

A Time to Mourn and a Time to Dance: To Everything there is a Season

To everything there is a season,A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die;A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;3 A time to kill, And a time to heal;A time to break down, And a time to build up;4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh;A time to […]

Good Things Come to Those Who are Willing

Today’s five minute friday prompt is “willing”. “And He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2 So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. 3 And He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Step forward.” 4 Then He said to them, “Is it lawful on […]

A Call to Embrace the Moment

My call to embrace the moment began at 4 a.m. I am sandwiched in my king-sized bed between a three-year-old and a one-year-old. Now, if you’ve ever slept with a toddler you know that they do not sleep in a straight line as adults do. So when I say sandwiched, I mean I have one […]

Do you have the Courage to let go of the Sunset?

We were driving home from our vacation. My four year old was snoring loudly in the seat behind me. Paw Patrol was entertaining Joel who had already woken from his nap and was unhappy to find he was still strapped into his carseat. Hubby and I had chatted the three hours we’d been on our […]

Life isn’t fair, but that’s ok!

I must have said “it’s not fair” often as a child because I vividly remember my mom telling me (in an annoyed tone) that “life isn’t fair”. I hadn’t thought much about it until I said it to my own kid recently. It was one of those parenting moments when you hear the words coming […]

The Song that Came to Pass

I would like to take you all on a journey with me today. Be patient because I’m not sure this post even has a point and I’m probably breaking all of the “how to write a good post” rules, but my heart is heavy and I want to share something with you. We keep a […]

The Faith Cycle

It has been 9 months since I lost my Rebekah. Nine horrible months. The journey of brokenness, pain, doubt, anger, anxiety, and confusion has been the worst experience of my life. I almost feel the need to shout to the world that if I can survive this, then I can survive anything. The most awful […]

Treasures from the Waves

Early on I read that grief is like the ocean. It comes in waves. Some waves are large and nearly knock you off your feet when they crash into you. As time goes on, those waves become smaller and easier to withstand. They don’t disappear, but you learn to anticipate them-birthdays, holidays, anniversaries. Those roll […]

Embracing Brokenness

” I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit” John 12:24 Growing up, I had absolutely no idea what that meant. I carefully planted seeds one by one and covered them with dirt. What happened in […]
