If you would have told me one year ago I would be homeschooling my children, blogging, and have like-minded social media friends who I met through Twitter, I would have never believed you. First of all, I thought homeschoolers were weird and out of touch. Second, I had no idea what a blog even was. And […]
May You Never Journey Alone {A Christmas Wish for You…}
It’s almost Christmas, and today I’m remembering back to June of 2010, when I began a journey … An experience that led me to read my Bible, memorize scripture, and pray every single day. It is something I knew I should have been doing the past 25 years of my Christian life, but for reasons no […]
Connected {This Season and the Whole Year Through}
In this season of extravagance and celebration, in the bustling to buy and then the wrestling to wrap. Amidst it all, the real purpose of this season is to be connected. Connected to friends and family … nurturing the newness and repairing the broken. Connected to those you love most of all. He made us for […]

To be relevant in this world is to love as He loves. To see the world through His eyes…with grace and mercy… beyond ourselves. To be His hands and feet on this earth to one another, To notice the one alone–the one who’s new–the anxious heart present in the room, To really see the need, by […]
Catching Glimmers of Love

A Broken Hallelujah
In Real Life… …I’m a mess at times, and much more broken than I seem. In real life I long to belong. I long to relate. I long to connect. I long to know and be known by another. In real life, with each life change and circumstance shift, I’m being stretched and challenged. And I am growing and […]
Never say never! {Curriculum 2011-2012}
If you would have asked me one year ago if I would ever homeschool, my answer would have been a resounding “NO!…I would never do that!”…with much emphasis and much passion. You see, I delivered four children within five and a half years, and my light at the end of the tunnel (for increasing independence and free time) was […]
The Grace Giver
I still feel it like it was yesterday. Memories sear hearts. She had been my friend. My familiar friend. My close friend. The pain. Memories still ringing, resonating in the deepest rooms of my heart…in rooms I don’t visit often and where cobwebs reside and where time has run past… But still, aching resides there, echoes of the […]
