When Lance & I were first married, people would ask us “How’s married life?”My response was, “It’s hard” because it was hard. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then, and as much as I love being married to Lance, we would both still tell you, “It’s hard … but worth it.” Lance & I […]

“Anything we give to God, He gives back to us.” Listen in on my conversation with Rachael Adams, a writer and host of “The Love Offering” podcast! In this clip, we explore love offerings from my point of view … including who has been one to me, my favorite Biblical example and how we can […]

It’s frustrating when we deal with the same battles over and over again. It’s comforting to know that God still “values” us! “He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; He does not value the power of a man. The Lord values those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His […]

Along with recess and pizza day, ‘Show & Tell’ always made for a fun time at school. One particular morning, I planned to share my recent vacation adventure with my fourth grade class. When my turn FINALLY came, I walked excitedly toward the front, only to hear a little boy groan and complain, “Ugh… she […]

You have probably heard of a woman named Ruth in the Bible, but what about her sister-in-law, Orpah? Don’t worry if you said no. You are not the only one. Some decisions impact a moment. Others will define our lives. That was the case for Ruth, Orpah, and me. A big thank you to Lighthouse […]

It sounds simple enough but the consequences were detrimental. “But Amnon had a friend…” 2 Samuel‬ ‭13:3‬ ‭This friend, Jonadab, was described as a “crafty” man. This isn’t Pinterest crafty. It was more like “cunning” or “shrewd” according to other translations. Jonadab offered Amnon some absolutely horrible advice. Unfortunately, Amnon listened, and followed through with […]

If you have figured this out already, I talk about the Bible a lot on social media. Well, there’s more where that came from! I had the opportunity to talk to my friend, Brandy, about why we should read the ENTIRE Bible. Yes, all of it. Genesis to Revelation. Even the genealogies. All of God’s […]

It was my first (and only) half-marathon. I had ran other races, but nothing like this. I trained for months; hours and hours of running, then more running. When the day finally came, I was nervous + excited (aka nervcited). I knew I was ready, but unsure what the course would be like. Once the […]

The book of Ruth is one of the shortest and sweetest books in the Bible. It primarily focuses on a woman named Ruth (thank you Captain Obvious) but today, my heart was drawn to Orpah. (Not OPRah as in Winfrey. ORPah as in who??) Orpah was Ruth’s sister-in-law who like Ruth, also had a choice […]

We all have these people in our lives.  ?People who we wonder if they’ll actually show up when they said they would. ?People who tend to back out of a project after they’ve committed. ?People who promise you something then don’t ever seem to deliver. People who don’t keep their word. •Yes, things come up and life happens. […]
