As of late, I have found myself wrestling with being just a mom. Amidst the spit up stains on my clothes and the never ceasing piles of laundry, you would probably never guess that I have a bachelor’s degree. I actually used to work full time and then part time and then I quit “working” so…

How Will He Not?
As of late, I have been convicted of my seemingly lifelong battle with anxiety. I’ve wanted to tackle this sin bent of mine, and conquer it. Sometimes I am so anxious that my spiritual wrestle turns into physical discomfort. When feeling anxious, my stomach will begin to tie itself in knots (at least that what…
Biblical Encouragement for New Moms
Biblical encouragement for new moms is imperative to their survival. How do I know? It was one of the greatest helps through a year-long bout of postpartum depression after the birth of my first daughter. I wrote this post when she was only three months old to articulate my thoughts and encourage other new moms…

Simple As Socks
This week I have been SO overwhelmed by how good God is! When my husband and I were first married, he was an independent contractor and I had no job – we definitely weren’t ballin’ (and all the newlyweds said, “AMEN!”). We’re not destitute by any means, we have more than we could have ever…
It’s A Love Story // Part 4
May 26, 2014 After hearing our pastor teach a sermon on dependent prayer, I was encouraged to give my desire for a relationship with Derek to the Lord in prayer. The pastor had encouraged our church body to pray for some crazy things and I decided I would do just that. Here is a portion of…
