  • 🌿 The Faithful Home — Week 2

    Strength for the Weary đź“– “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) Just a note… Last week we talked about finding peace in the middle…

  • Learning to Build Gates Instead of Walls

    Do you ever just want to keep everyone who’s ever hurt you at arm’s length? Like that’s the only way to make sure you won’t get hurt again? Same here. Sometimes distance just feels safer, like if I can control how close people get, I can control how much chaos they bring. I’m the type…

  • Scripture: Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Peace in the Chaos ’Tis the season of fall festivals, Halloween costumes,…

  • Praying for Kindness (and a Little Bit of Patience)

    Do you ever pray that your child will do the right thing? That they’ll be the kind one, the one who includes others, stands up for what’s right, and doesn’t follow the crowd, even though following the crowd seems to come with better snacks? Because same. The world is crazy. The influences aren’t always great.…

  • His Promise…

    This past week has been a challenging one in many aspects of my life! There have been tears, laughter, hugs, and moments of deep reflection on what’s happening now and what the future may hold. Along with being challenging, it’s also been eye-opening. I’ve seen how emotions can cloud actions, how words and tones can…

  • The Eldest

    The eldest child experiences all the firsts, the first cry that made new parents panic, the first steps that made them beam with pride, and the first mistakes that made them question everything. They are the trial run, the test subject, the “new toy.” Every move is observed, corrected, and refined. They’re held to higher…

  • Foundations that form a Legacy

    One goal Colton and I have always shared is to build a legacy and to build it well. I grew up on a farm that had been in my family for generations. The land, the stories, and the traditions were passed down like heirlooms. Colton, on the other hand, is first generation. He’s the start…

  • Guarding Grace

    Grace… what is grace? It’s one of those words we hear so often, yet we rarely understand the weight of it until life gives us no other choice but to live it. Grace isn’t weakness. It’s not pretending you’re unbothered. And it’s definitely not letting people take advantage of your kindness just because you don’t…

  • Who Shapes You, and Who Are You Shaping

    “The people you are around the most is the type of person you will become.” Have you ever heard that saying? I have, and not only heard it, but lived it. I’ve seen firsthand how those closest to me have shaped my decisions, my personality, and even the way I dream. I’ve also seen the…

  • Being a Villager in my Village

    I saw something the other day that really struck me: if you want a village, you have to be a villager. So often it feels like our world has become “all take and no give.” Everyone is quick to ask for help but slow to return it. I will be the first to admit that…
