“Everyday we wake up and we chase something or we chase an invisible God.” – Jennie Allen, Chase I’m always a little scared to started reading something by Jennie Allen. Because it’s almost impossible to walk away– Unchanged. God has a way of using her words to clear through the haze and to help me [Read More...]
Yesterday we were in the bathroom and I was doing her hair. In puffs. For church. She’s three. And we were in a hurry-late-hurry. And that’s always when big questions seem to surface. She asked: “Do you still love me even when I don’t obey?” (She’d just managed to spill a large glass of milk [Read More...]
I typed the title in error. And I hit publish, before the post was done. But that’s what it is– the eMatrix. A maze that I’m still untangling. And my sister-in-law asked me to write this post… About iPhones-returned and trying to live out an example for these little ones with eyes always watching. [Read More...]
This is going to be short & sweet because I’m off to– JURY DUTY! First time in my life… And a big thank you to the six friends involved in watching kiddos, picking up, dropping off, homeschooling, nap-sitting, child feeding… Who are helping cover “normal life stuff” while I’m gone.

The irony is, that her whole [Read More...]

I initially thought I shouldn’t be writing this post. Because– I have a deep seated love-hate relationship with social media. And yes, I totally get the irony of making that statement in a blog post. But when Laura and Angi asked me to review their book about social media, I not only completely missed [Read More...]
I’m rewriting this post. I wrote it several weeks ago when I joined MaryDeMuth’s blog tour for her recently released book– Everything. It has been a JOY to be part of the Everything Launch Team! Let me just start by saying– the book is incredible. Worth reading…and you know me…I don’t recommend anything unless it’s something I [Read More...]
