Avoidance
Over the weekend we were finally home after a super busy summer and we were working on home projects. I noticed in our laundry room our calendar that I absolutely love and tend to keep pretty updated – was still on May. At first glance, I could attribute this to a typical summer in youth […]

Fresh Starts.
I always like a fresh start. I like the start of a New Year, a new month, a new week even. Each weekend I like to sit down and map out our week and look at the week ahead with a clean slate and much anticipation. (passion planner anyone?) With that said, I had/have high […]

One morning I came downstairs and all the figures of the Nativity Scene were turned inward. I asked Robert if he had done such a thing and he said no. Of course that left only one person guilty. I asked little man if he had turned the Nativity Scene that I had so intricately placed […]

That update coming soon!**) No matter the run, no matter the distance, “somehow” my “random” shuffle of a playlist plays a Daniel Bashta song as the last song of my run. It blows my mind every time that Jesus even dictates the […]
Jesus, Pneumonia, and a Marathon
I am less than two months past pneumonia and less than two weeks out from my first marathon. According to doctors I should still be hacking up my lungs. I only have one explanation for this and His name is Jesus. On my run yesterday (it was only a 5 miler) I was worshipping and […]
