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…

Darkness and Light
I feel like I’ve been living in some paradoxes lately. Simply put, a paradox is a situation/statement that lives in contradiction (two opposites that can be true at the same time). On one hand, I’m still so so grateful for the life that God has given me. I absolutely LOVE where we live. I’m still…

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…

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…

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…

4 Mile Race and General Wellness
Challenge and Joy My brain has been struggling a bit more lately, but I will always have days and weeks of anxiety (and sometimes depression). It’s just how my brain is. But I KNOW how to take care of myself now. I haven’t been working out as much or eating quite as well lately, but…

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…

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…

You Stepped into My Egypt
We weren’t able to go to church this past Sunday because Robert is on call this week. He has to be at all meals when we have guests, and we had guests for breakfast and lunch on Sunday. It’s pretty rare for us to miss church these days, and I’m so grateful. Our church is…
