Mary- A Heart Prepared

  Are you getting ready for Christmas?  I don’t know about you, but every year I get caught off guard with all the preparation to get ready for Christmas!  It seems no matter how much I plan, there is always something to get ready for. The busyness of Christmas can be distracting and overwhelming to […]

A Letter From Jesus: A note to my inner Enneagram

  This year has been a really hard year for me in regard to discovering things about myself I never knew.  It’s been a year God has been using to grow me in ways I never knew I needed.  I’ve done a lot of soul-searching, reading and just spending time with God.  I’ve read books […]

Praying Like it Counts

Have you ever prayed so hard for a prayer you desired God to answer? Not just any ordinary prayer haphazardly thrown up to heaven, in hopes God will answer.

It’s Not About the TACO

Every week in our household our family has a tradition–TACO NIGHT!  If there is one meal we can count on every week, it’s tacos.  We always have the staples for making tacos in our house at any given time.  What I love about Taco Night, is our family sitting down eating the same meal together. […]

Christian Dyslexia

Sometimes as Christians I think we get it a little backward.  We start out on a journey to get to know God and then somewhere along the way we get off track.  I’ve been so far off track in my journey at times, when I looked around wondered how did I even get here? One […]
