The Body Image Battle
I have a confession. I am a body shamer.

Thoughts on Soul
As big Pixar fans, we’d been looking forward to watching the studio’s new movie, “Soul”, on Disney+. Learning more information on the creators and thought process behind the film in an episode of “Inside Pixar” made us even more excited to see it. So, after the kids were snuggled into bed in a post-Christmas slumber… Continue reading Thoughts on Soul

It’s a fresh, new year and with that comes hopes that I’ll do all the things I dream up in my ENFP brain.

As I await God’s next… Continue reading Meaningful Tears and Answered Cries

I’d had a rough few days emotionally already. I was in one of those can’t-control-your-emotions-or-feel-anywhere-close-to-Jesus funks. And one thing I know is… Continue reading Hard Weeks and Hopeful Mornings
The Kindness of Grace

I think somewhere deep inside of me I’ve thought that to be the case. But over the past couple of weeks I’ve realized – deeply – just how wrong I… Continue reading The Kindness of Grace
