Money, goals and motherhood
Who wants to talk politics? :) Before I begin, I want you to know it’s a little comical for me to be writing about politics and how to prepare for election day, because I am the least qualified person to be doing so. Here’s why: Firstly, I am so ignorant of everything going on in
A few months ago I was reading Daniel 3, the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. I’ve heard this story dozens of times, and it always makes me think of flannel boards from old Sunday School days (anyone else remember those?). The story is set in Babylon, and essentially King Nebuchadnezzar made a decree that whenever you hear
Back in April I went on a missions trip to Haiti. Some trips are ordained from the Lord, and this was one of them. It came at a perfect time. My best friend’s six-week old baby died a week before the trip, and the funeral was three days before I left. I was grieving and in
I took an unintentional week off of blogging, due to a terrible, no good, really bad week.

Haiti is a dangerous country, especially for children, as kidnapping,
Before I went to Haiti I knew very little about the ministry we were going to help and the work we were going to do. Well now, as someone who has spent a week with this organization, I seriously cannot say enough good things about Global Outreach, the people that run their mission, and the
Well, I’ve been back two weeks now, so it’s probably about time I write about this trip. There are so many things I want to write I don’t know where to begin. So I’ll just start typing away. This will likely be a few posts for me to brain-dump all I saw and all that we did.
My best friend’s baby Owen passed away last week. He lived six weeks and one day. I remember the day I found out about Owen. It was a Wednesday in June and I had a text from Al asking me to call her. My heart beat a little faster — she either had good or
