One day, things will settle down… right?
Things have felt like they were falling apart the past week or so. I can’t really go into details, but I thought things were so much better with one of my kids, and I found out that that was further from the truth. Things have been very very hard. Ethan is probably going to do…

As I Reflect on 2024
Spending some time alone this last morning of 2024. As I reflect on this year, I have had some high highs and low lows. Some days felt impossible. Some days felt as though my mental health had healed. While it’s sad when I realize my brain still struggles some times, my therapist reminds me to…

10 Questions for Reflection and Discernment 2024
Emily P. Freeman is one of my favorite podcasters and authors. Every year, she 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. This year has been pretty weird in a lot of ways.…

Life is a Paradox: Hard AND Beautiful
Just a warning… this is pretty long. I started this post a week ago and just had the mental energy to pick it back up. These past few weeks have been hard and honestly just plain weird. I know I said that last time I wrote, but it continued. We have had a lot of…

He Has Good Plans
The past week or so, I have made some decisions that I have been praying about for a bit. I’ve been patient for the first time in forever to allow Him to reveal to me what He wants. Asking for wisdom and discernment has meant so much more to me these days. I have seen…

Learning to Focus on What Matters- Just Showing Up
This morning, I woke up to a message from a friend. She sent me a post from one of her running friends, and it was honestly life changing. It wasn’t necessarily anything new, but for some reason, it hit different. I had been thinking about not focusing on races for a bit because I was…

Learning to Control the Chaos in My Head
I feel like I’ve lost sight of a lot the past week or two. Last year (especially in the fall), my relationship with Jesus grew to a whole new level. I was spending time with Him every single morning without fail… praying for a long time, spending time in His Word, and worshiping Him. I would worship…
