I grew up as a military brat, which means as a young child I moved around a bit. However, for most of my growing up years we were stationed in a small community in Southern Arizona. I was fortunate enough to be a part of two different faith communities while growing up there, and both…

A Missional Minded Family
Missions runs deep in our family. Josh grew up as a Pastor’s Kid, but his father has since been a world-wide evangelist for nearly 20 years. In turn, Josh has traveled the world with his family, serving the Lord. I grew up falling in love with the mission fields during our yearly Missions Emphasis Sundays…
Getting Over the Mess of Chalk Pastels
I don’t like messes. I live with three boys. Can you see the problem? My boys enjoy art. I’m not talking about crafts, but real art projects. They love paint and things like that. You know what I mean. I’m talking about the types of art that make big messes that make this momma freak out…
Learning to Take Better Pictures of My Kids
I love taking pictures of my boys, but I don’t feel like I’ve ever been very good at it. My pictures always look so amateur. I never feel like I’m capturing the moment or their faces well. Often times I’m using my iPhone instead of a real camera. I’ve heard it said that the best camera…
Who is my neighbor?
Turning on the news lately has been depressing to say the least. Fighting (both domestically and internationally), hateful words being spoken, riots–it seems never-ending. I keep coming back to the words “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your strength and with all your mind,…
“So Much Bigger Than The Bunny”: The Backstory
When Josh came to me in 2009 and talked about the “Holy Week” that was right around the corner, and that he had some activities he wanted to implement in our family devotions to help our kids grasp what this season is really about, I had NO IDEA what Holy Week even was. We dove…
Waiting for God: Learning to Wait Only Upon Him
I’ve spent a lot of time over the years waiting for God. Infertility. Jobs. Moving. Depression. I’ve done a lot of waiting, but I’ve learned that it’s a lot better to be waiting for God than to be running ahead of him. It’s so much better to be in His timing than my own. I’ve tried…
HWLW: How To End Each Day Meditating On God’s Word
It’s the beginning of the year. 2015 I can hardly believe it, even after writing it out. If you are like me you spent the majority of December re-evaluating what worked and didn’t work in 2014 as well as praying about what the Lord wants to teach you through a renewed resolution to live for…
Setting Gospel Goals With Your Children in the New Year
2015. It is really here. Each calendar year that quickly changes, I find my children getting a little older. In 2015 my children will turn 14, 11, and 7. We will hopefully adopt a new baby. Those same children will enter into high school, middle school, and 2nd grade. Two of them have surrendered their…
Walking in The Way
Did you know that the first Christians were called followers of “The Way?” Take a look at these verses in Acts: “… and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.”Acts 9:2 (ESV) “But when some…
