As Advent began a little over a month ago, I was trying to figure out a new tradition I could start to celebrate. I talked with friends, read blogs, searched the internet, and brainstormed, yet so many of the ideas I found all centered around doing things with your family each day... with the people… Continue reading A New Advent Tradition

Too Much to Write About…
Sorry for the silence on here for a while. Besides the random post a couple days ago, I think there has just been so much to blog about that any time I tried to start I just got overwhelm. So, in attempt to get myself going again, I am giving myself 30 minutes this morning… Continue reading Too Much to Write About…
My Changing View of Grace
Living in grace doesn't give me an excuse to do whatever I want simply because "God will forgive me.", but it also removes my excuses to live a cautious, risk-less life. Grace calls me to action. Grace gives courage to try, even if failure may follow. Grace is not about having it 'right', but rather… Continue reading My Changing View of Grace
Ask, seek, knock … BREATHE
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. (Matthew 7:7, 8 ESV) Ask, seek, knock. They seem simple. They are. As… Continue reading Ask, seek, knock … BREATHE
When….
When.... When you wake up in the morning and are actually super excited to open God's Word... When you save $700 on car insurance by switching to Geico (literally)... When you work at a place where laughter is never in short supply (even if you're often the target of such laughter)... When you are reminded… Continue reading When….
The August In Between
We often find ourselves talking about our lives in seasons, or stages, or as chapters in a book. A few weeks ago one phase of life (student) came to an end. This weekend new phase will officially begin (professional). And here you have... the august in between ... A celebration of 31 years of marriage… Continue reading The August In Between
In the Mean Time
The journey to move to NY (again) begins tomorrow (Sunday)! A picture/summary post of my entire August vacation is in the works. In the mean time, I'll even give you a sneak peak with these images of us in the early stages of loading the car: We managed to fit my roll-top desk, chest, my new… Continue reading In the Mean Time
Running Away from My Prayers
Thursday morning my alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. and I had a decision to make... I had stayed up pretty late the night before hanging out with all the awesome women in my lifegroup and I had to decide whether sleep or a run would fill the next 30 minutes of my time. In once sense,… Continue reading Running Away from My Prayers
Two Pink Umbrellas
While for the most part I prefer sun (which we actually had today!!!) I generally don’t mind the rain. Sometimes I even enjoy a good thunderstorm, or a light rain that I can run in. But when yesterday was going on about a week straight, I was ready for the rain to be done. … Continue reading Two Pink Umbrellas
Go Out in Joy
This morning, I read these words: For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:12) I know I’ve read these words before, but something about the first… Continue reading Go Out in Joy
