Trusting My Intuition
I absolutely love this book (Re-Connected). I’m almost finished listening to it and plan to buy it to re-read and take notes. I’ve been thinking through this a lot the past few days. I tend to find some “experts” and latch onto what they say about everything. I hyper-focus on what they share in podcasts…

What Does “Simple Living” Look Like for Us?
I’ve been seeking simplicity for years, but I didn’t really even know what that meant until recently. I thought I knew. I would see all of these people who lived on a homestead, made everything from scratch, and rarely left home. They would call it “the simple life.” It seemed beautiful from afar. It seemed…

Living a Life of Peace
These past few days have been PACKED with wisdom from God and just good things. I want to tell about it all, so this will be long. I apologize in advance, but I feel like most of it fits together! How to Live a Life of Peace God’s wisdom is so clear in the words…

Slowing Down, Savoring, and Prioritizing
I am a human being, not a human doing. I’ve heard this many times lately, and it’s slowly sticking. Exhaustion is a reminder that always going and seeking perfection isn’t what we have been called to. Trusting God is the ultimate way to receive peace. Loosening my grip on things that I can’t control is…

Control: Surrender and Letting Go
I’ve had a lot on my mind. I’m going to share a bit of it, but I’m still processing some things. Jesus and I had a good talk this morning. I shared with him how I’m burned out from trying to control things all the time. I shared with Him about what I’ve been trying…

Seasons Change…
Seasons are changing… and life has come full circle for our family. These past few weeks/months have been a roller coaster. I guess that’s life. We put the boys in school in August. I dropped Karis off 7.5 hours away at her university the next day. I was working quite a bit but was struggling……

Teach Me To Abide
I’ve mentioned this before, but the theme of surrender keeps coming up over and over again. One thing I’ve learned lately is that even when I think I know what’s going to happen and when I think I have a plan, God always reminds me that He is the one who is in control… and…

Feeling a Little Scattered
This week has been kind of crazy. I guess that’s life. I started feeling bad about a week ago. I’m sure that it started as bad allergies, but it has developed into a pretty bad sinus infection. And I worked a lot of active hours through it all. Saturday, I did The Carry workout that’s…

Who Am I, To Deny, What the Lord Can Do?
I did something very unexpected yesterday. At this point, I truly don’t know what’s going to come from it. But, I took a huge step of faith, and I’m feeling at peace with that step. Sunday night, the boys had a student ministry event at church. It was super fun. They did an outdoor movie,…

Our Limits Tell Us Important Things About Ourselves
Today was such a life-giving day! It was just what I needed. It started with some quality time with Jesus and time with the boys before they went to school. I made homemade whole wheat pumpkin banana muffins for the boys and me. So good! I had therapy at 10:00, and it was incredibly helpful.…
