Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope you find its contents relatable, insightful, helpful and (mildly) entertaining.
Being a mom is hard work and comes with unique challenges that, honestly, I was not prepared for. Add a growing career, active and needy dog, traveling husband, and whatever else life throws at me to the mix and it can feel downright overwhelming some days (who am I kidding? MOST days). But here’s where the faith part comes into play.
When life feels like it’s spinning out of control and it seems like everything that could go wrong is going wrong, I simply turn to God and say, “I believe you will not throw anything my way that I can’t handle. I believe you have a grand plan in all of this that I can’t yet see or understand. I believe you have the best intentions for my life and so…I give it all to you.”
I’ve found that saying and praying those words often calms my soul and gives me the freedom to just laugh when I want to cry. It forces me to pause in the midst of crazy (whether that be in my head, in my current situation, or in the moment), take a deep breath, and carry on.
Writing has long been a passion of mine and my hope is the words I put out there will find someone who needs to hear them in that moment to help them through whatever season of life they’re in. Or just to give a sense of camaraderie – so you know you’re NOT alone in how you’re feeling. Maybe that’s you. I hope that’s you. Either way, welcome and please come back again. 🙂
