    Preparing For The School Year During A Pandemic

    08/29/2020

    Every school year is different. And for all of us, 2020 is guaranteed to be one for the record books.

    Back to school supplies now include a computer or tablet.

    Wifi routers are now more cherished than marble notebooks.

    Pajamas are the new uniforms and Zoom calls have taken the place of cafeteria chatter.

    2020 will absolutely be a different school year!

    Whether our kids will be doing remote only or some form of hybrid learning, we can face the new normal the same way we’ve tackled every other academic year.

    We can pray our way through this pandemic.

    Promises to Comfort an Expectant Mom’s Heart

    04/27/2020

    There is nothing in this world like welcoming a new life into your family.

    Absolutely nothing.

    And while every labor and delivery story is special, giving birth in the middle of a global pandemic, well that’s a completely different experience.

    With so many unknowns, what should be a joyous milestone can easily turn into a stressful and scary reality.

    Whether you’re a first time or an experienced mom. Whether you’ll be delivering vaginally or via C-Section. Whether alone or with your support system. We can all find comfort in knowing God is not panicked or unprepared for this next chapter of our stories.

    This may not have been a part of your original birthing plans, but there’s still a beautiful, indescribable ending waiting for you.

    Soon you’ll be able to hear and touch and see God’s goodness perfectly packaged in your arms.

    So if fear and doubt tries to creep into your heart, remind yourself that the same God who saw it fit to bless you with a child in this season, is the same God who will continually be by your side.

    I Really Don’t Like Her!

    07/24/2019

    “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:2-4

    I’m a girl’s girl!

    I’m all for sisterhood. Girl bosses. Female entrepreneurs reshaping their communities.

    I’m all for supporting women chasing after their God-given dreams.

    But the one her I really, really don’t like? The her that’s written about in the Epistle of James.

    Patience.

    If you’re like me, you’ve sat through your share of sermons on patience. You’ve heard time and time again about the importance of waiting and waiting well.

    Between the two of us though, I’ve yet to master either skill.

    Keep Pushing!

    07/03/2019

    “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9

    Push! Push!

    You’re right there!

    You’re doing great. Just keep pushing!

    After being pregnant for what felt like an eternity it was finally time for my new little one to make his grand entrance to the world.

    Over and over the nurses, doctor and my husband kept telling me to push. From their angle they saw how close I was to giving birth.

    They saw the complete picture, while all I could do was take them at their word.

    Moving On: 10 Scriptures to Help Let Go of Your Past

    06/15/2019

    Have you ever played the “what if” game?

    You know, what if things worked out with (insert name of random ex here)?

    What if I made the wrong decision in switching jobs?

    What if I waited to do things God’s way?

    What if I missed my only chance to pursue my dreams?

    I hate playing the what if game, because I always end up loosing:

    I lose my peace. I lose my joy. I lose hours of sleep. I lose it all when my mind starts wandering into the endless possibility of what ifs.

    I’m guessing you’ve had your share of losses playing the what if game as well.

    Letting go of the past, no matter how dysfunctional or damaging it may have been, is never an easy process…even for us super-faith girls.
