All things about being a working mom, wife and Christian woman.
The last several weeks have brought on so many emotions – fear, anger, sadness, frustration, and heartbreak. The opinions of others have flooded my social media feeds, news outlets have published their own version of the facts to fit their narrative, and conversations have centered on the topic of racism and white privilege. I have …
It’s only been a week since my last post and I feel like it’s been months with all the changes that have happened within that week…the latest being a “stay at home” order in Minnesota. And as I scroll through my Facebook and Instagram feeds, it’s nearly impossible not to get sucked into a coronavirus …
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” Joshua 1:9 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 These two verses have been my saving grace as seemingly each day brings on something new with …
I want to try starting a new weekly blog post called Faith Friday that’s focused on anything and everything faith-related that comes to mind…could be a Bible verse, an example of God’s work in my life, talking about struggles with having faith, etc. If you have any ideas on what you’d like to see covered …
As is true with any new year, I find myself doing a lot of reflecting. It’s crazy to think how much happens in a year. If I had to sum up 2019 in two words it would be Tough and Humbling. The last decade would be Blessed and Memorable. Blessed and Memorable. I say that because …
I just finished reading Bob Merritt’s latest book, “Done With That,” which I highly recommend if you’re looking for some spiritual inspo. In a nutshell, it talks about how we need to let go of our old life to begin a new life in relationship with God. To let go of an old life of …
Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day! I wanted to share some insightful parenting advice I got from yesterday’s message at church because I think it speaks to the core of (most) parents’ desire to raise kids who are respectful, hard-working, faith-filled adults. It came from our guest speaker, Dr. Tim Johanson, who is a …
I’ve had a few conversations over the last couple weeks where people have commented how awesome it is to see how my sisters and I have rallied together to support and take care of our mom after her stroke. Many of them have said, “I don’t think my own family would do that,” or “Not …
Imagine having so much faith in God that even in the dark and sad times, you still believe He is good. When someone you love was taken too soon. When your unborn child already has health issues you weren’t prepared to cope with. When you get passed over for a promotion. When you’re waiting for …
Nearly two weeks into 2019, and I’m feeling like I haven’t had a hot minute to even think about my goals. I have to admit, I’m not a New Year’s resolutions kind of gal – never have been. Because the thing I find with those, is that they usually fall by the wayside, get forgotten …
