Into the Unknown

Of course we had to see Frozen II when it hit theatres. Our oldest daughter, Cora, was 4 when Frozen I came out and our youngest, Lydia, was only 2. I remember then hearing  an announcement about the release of Frozen II, coming to a theatre near you in 2019. It...

The Other Side of Affliction

Have you ever looked back over a hard season of life and thought, “man, that was so difficult, but so good for me?” I suppose John Mellencamp was right when he sang, “Hurts so good.” The hurts we face can be used for our good. If you are like me, walking into a...

I’m OVER Overwhelmed

I’m OVER Overwhelmed

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I am OVER being Overwhelmed! I am just tired of feeling the weight of the world on my shoulder. Daily, my posture gets more slouched and my shoulders more turned in. This is a season of struggle. The weight of my world...
