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…

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…

Messy and Beautiful- Cease Striving
Ten days ago, I wrote a blog post called “In a Healthy Place.” The main purpose of sharing that was to share about how healthy this place that we live is, but I also mentioned that I am not depressed for the first time in winter (in years). I also just wanted to share about the…

I learned the other day that I…

Healing Isn’t Linear, Part 2
I have started writing this post so many times, and I’ve had to start over multiple times. There are so many things going on in my life at the moment, and some of the most important things can’t be shared… so it’s hard to know where to start. First, I want to bring up what…

Can’t Stop Sharing About My Deliverance!
This blog post is a bit disjointed, but I want to share the rawness of my gratefulness to Jesus for my deliverance! On November 30, 2009, my life changed forever. My brother died by suicide in a very gruesome, traumatic way. My mental health was never the same. I was in and out of mental…

Remembering My “Why”
Ethan took this pic of Robert and I Friday night. It had been a great evening with our summer staff, and I was feeling so great mentally and emotionally. Yesterday was a whole other experience. I felt defeated from the moment that I woke up. My anxiety was super high all day, and I felt…
