My Personal Testimony It was Easter morning, eight years ago. I walked into to a new church with my husband and our two kids at the time. I saw a big screen over the stage, with a picture of a receipt that read, “Paid in Full”. Sixty extraordinary minutes later, we were walking out, tears were ... Read More about Discipleship

Hope in Uncertainty
We are creatures of habit. We get set in our ways, write out our to-do’s in our daily planners and can generally expect what our life typically looks like. However, we cannot plan how hard it is to accept news of a health issue. We cannot plan for how hard it is to handle heartbreak when a ... Read More about Hope in Uncertainty
Patience running low in homeschool
On my heart today. “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weakness, in insults, ... Read More about Patience running low in homeschool

Day 2 of homeschool 2020-2021 prep!! This morning I organized our filing system for the year. I bought 2 metal hanging file boxes from Target.

Daily Schedule 2019-2020
Finding the perfect daily schedule for 4 kids is no easy feat. It's a fluid thing really, changing every year if not every month. So for the Type A like me, who thrives on schedules and checking the box, it has been daunting at times to realize I need to switch it up again. Not always...but ...

Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie
God always knows what's on our heart and mind. Whether we have the words or not. For me, that's really frustrating. :) I like to organize my thoughts, have the right words, say-what-I-mean and mean-what-I-say. But often times in quiet prayer, I'm speechless. The thoughts are running rampant ... Read More about Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie

Math U See, Decimal Street Mat
Math is not my favorite subject. In fact, it’s probably my least favorite. In our house, my husband Matt is known as the “numbers guy”. He’s always on top of the numbers. Whether our family budget, the next RV trip, or helping our soon-to-be 5th grader with long division, you’ll often hear him ... Read More about Math U See, Decimal Street Mat
