Without love, it doesn’t matter.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am Continue reading

Choose your kingdom.
“Vanity of vanities,” says the preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” , What profit has a man from all his labour in which he toils under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes; Ecclesiastes 1:2-4 What kingdom are you working for? I can tell you that in my lifetime I have Continue reading

Get outta that funk.
Have you ever been in a full scale “funk?” I think there is a definite possibility that I am the queen of it. The smoke, anxiety, hormones, husband being away for over a week, (enter various other excuses here) have me feeling… blah. I felt like time with the kiddos would help, and made cookies Continue reading

Fixing my eyes on Jesus.
My nerves haven’t just been frayed the last while. They have been threadbare. This is our busy season. Our fly in fishing lodge is officially open for business, which means I start to feel scattered. We have a beautiful homestead here, and the lodge is a 5 hour drive and 30 minute flight from here. Continue reading

Mother’s day.
I’m a day late writing something for mother’s day! Mostly because I was busy being a mother, and a daughter, and a daughter in law. My weekend was jam packed. I hauled my 3 month old baby along for 5 hours of dance dress rehearsal Thursday, 6 hours in the throws of the first dance Continue reading

Yeah me neither, don’t know what brought that to my mind… weird! It seems to me that entitlement is a raging epidemic in Continue reading

On moderation.
I have never really been a “moderation” kind of person. I tend to be a little bit more all or nothing, petal to the metal, obsessive in anything that matters to me. This could really be either very good, or very bad, depending on what direction I am turning my soul. Even with this predisposition Continue reading

Learning to plan
I’m pretty sure I have mentioned that I am not great at planning ahead. I have a tendency to just wait till the last minute and then be stressed as can be because I wasn’t prepared. The prayer of my heart is to be a proverbs 31 woman. That, and to have a gentle and Continue reading

I’m not a good Christian.
I think that sometimes we have become a little bit mixed up about what a Christian is. We think we are “bad Christians,” or “good Christians” based on how shiny we appear to everyone around us. “Oh I have never been drunk, I saved sex for marriage, yada yada.” We get so focused on this Continue reading

We need validation, mamas.
Do you ever feel like the work you do as a mama is invisible and a little redundant? Yeah… me too. We are raising little people, and we know that it is an incredibly noble calling, but still, the onslaught of laundry, suppers to be made, fights to break up and settle, and bums to Continue reading
