Quarantine Day One

We have COVID in our house! We had positive tests yesterday, so we started our 14 day quarantine. This morning, we looked up a variety of lists to find inspiration for things to do during this time inside. Because my husband is a student at a seminary, we have strict rules about not leaving our…

We will have trouble

I'm slowly but surely "finding my way" back to God's Word. What a mindless phrase for me to have picked out, "finding my way." It's silly and in this case, not at all true. It if were me and me alone, I never would come back to the Word. I would run far away and…

Feeling Fine

I've had Matthew West's new song, Truth Be Told stuck in my head for the past few days. I've heard it on the radio a lot, so it makes sense. Finally, today, after humming the melody for the umpteenth time, I decided to look up the lyrics. The words really struck a chord with me.…

I took a break for a while, in case you hadn't noticed. I needed a moment to stop and figure out why I was doing this, what I was hoping to gain, what I was trying to portray or prove. I had another miscarriage a few weeks ago, and it felt like everything I was…

Choose Life

Most often, when we hear that phrase, we immediately and only think of the pro-life fight. We implore expectant mothers to choose life for their young one. We encourage the elderly to choose life for themselves and their loved ones.  This, however, is a small aspect of such a powerful command.  "I call heaven and…

You Should Cross Yourself

I'm a big fan of action movies. I enjoy a good re-watch of Die Hard or some other action flick. Big explosions, fist fights and shoot-outs are just some of the necessary ingredients. And there is nothing better than a good villain in an action movie, somebody who says something like, "You don't wanna know…

My Reads

I have a book blog, but I figured I could share little blurbs about what I've read, what I'm reading, and what I will read. I just finished a book called The Light Between Oceans, by M.L. Stedman, which was absolutely beautiful and brilliant. It's one of those books where if I had more patience, I…

Damned Thomas

Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed, Alleluia! This is the common call and response during this time of Easter. While often, people think of Easter just being the solitary day, it actually spans an entire season of forty days as the people of God celebrate the resurrection of Christ. What a joy-filled time to…

Choose Joy!

Here are some things to be happy about today: God is still in control! You woke up today! Yay! Good job! Spring! Winter has passed, and soon the weather will warm back up. Close your eyes for just a minute. 250 babies were born in that time! There are over 1000 flavors of ice cream. About 6,000…

God Knows

I don't need to update you on what's going on, I'm sure. Since my husband is home a lot more than he usually is, I realized I need to write more (I already failed my new year's resolution in that area), and what better to write about than what everyone else is already talking about?…
