Questions for Reflection & Discernment and Processing 2025
Looking Toward 2026 Less is more. That’s the thing. That’s my main take-away from 2025. Every year, Emily P. Freeman (podcaster and author) puts out “10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment,” and I love to answer these questions each year as a reflection of my previous year and the beginning of a new year. What…

Peace in the Chaos
I have felt too overwhelmed to put thoughts into words. I have felt like my words wouldn’t matter or even make sense. I have been too overloaded mentally to process through the chatter in my head. I am finally feeling some mental and emotional space, so I thought I would give it a shot. I…

My New Adventure
I’m still writing over on my Substack, but I also want to use this blog for things like life updates and life-things in general. A few days ago, I accepted a full time position at camp! Starting next week, I will be the assistant food service director! It’s a long story, but Robert and I…

Identity and Calling
As I sit here in my office, I can hear the beautiful sounds from nature-the frogs in the pond and the birds singing.

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,…

To Know Him and Make Him Known
I hope to start writing more soon, especially after Outdoor Ed season. We still have some busyness coming up between the boys starting school, taking Karis to college, and busier days as I’m working Outdoor Ed/Rec a lot more than usual. Anyway. This past week has been super productive and formative in how things will…

“Cease Striving” + Simplifying & Letting Go Even More
I had an appointment with my psychiatric nurse practitioner/therapist today which was so helpful. I’ve struggled off and on all summer. I will feel better, then the anxiety and depression will hit out of nowhere. Life is so good right now. I feel like I’ve hit a “sweet spot” through the decisions that I’ve made…

Truly Living Wild and Free and What that Really Means for Me
We are currently in the car, driving from one place in Texas to the next place that we are visiting. We will be in the car a lot while we are here, but I’m enjoying my time! For the past many days, I have had a long anxiety about this trip. No reason, really, except…
