Treasuring up Christmas
I love Christmastime so much I don’t want to let it go. So many things about this season make life a little sweeter and love a little louder.

Make me Joyful
You make me JOYFUL! You make me JOYFUL! Woohoo Woohoo! My three year old sung a song he heard at church all day long yesterday. But the way I sang it in my head was a little different. You make me joyful. That was ringing in my heart this morning as I thought of allContinue reading “Make me Joyful”

Your kitchen is a mission field
7,665 meals. That’s about how many I’ve served and cleaned up in the past seven years for my family. But that doesn’t count all the breast milk bottles I pumped or afternoon applesauce snacks. Somedays I feel like I live in my kitchen. So I have to decide, will that 12 by 12 space beContinue reading “Your kitchen is a mission field”
Football Mom
I wasn’t a cheerleader in high school. More of an orchestra nerd. But now I could totally make the cut. I’m a football mom and cheering is what I do. I’m learning it’s one of the most important things I will ever do as a mom. The other day at Luke’s first practice, I wasContinue reading “Football Mom”
