It’s been a while. If you are still reading, bless your dear heart! I am here. I feel like a broken record that has been left to repeating itself for months on end; but in all sincerity I am here, I adore each of you who choose to check back in and in a little while, I’ll have more to offer you than just the
“Rain, rain go away come again another day.” I sang these words with a sweet little two year old serval times yesterday, as we looked out the window watching puddles form, and all hopes of a walk to the park wash away with the chalk on the sidewalk. Although it is a cute and catchy tune, I don’t want my heart to wish away seemingly
Well Hello there! I sure hope your day has been lovely and full. Not just running around busy full, but joyful. I am ever learning to search for the joy, no matter how many things claim priority in my day. I have to intentionally look at my lists, agendas, and plans in a foreign way.

Sickness has been rampant this season and somedays it has felt all consuming and overpowering. I’m reminded how weak and needy I am. I’m reminded how the ungrateful tendencies of my heart are quick to surface and slow
Today is one of those days, where I’m not quite sure where to begin.

Sometimes, not very often, it happens to me in those moments that my mind rests in a memory. My eyes are closed, body relaxed and suddenly I am back in my childhood. Last night as one of these childhood memories swept over
It was late as we drove home last Saturday evening, Chase and I tired from a full day spent with our sweet friends who live out of town. We were nearly to our street, when we both spotted it. I mean how could we possibly miss it? High up in what must be the neighborhoods tallest tree, were white christmas lights strung to perfection in
I’m thankful for the snow. I’m in awe of how it forces me to slow down. Gone are the days of summer and fall where I can drive some where, anywhere without giving it a second thought. Here I sit today, cozy warm in my house, no where to go, all commitments canceled. Thankful for the snow. Thankful for its powerful ability to re orient
