Is It Really Okay?
Recently with all of the chaos in the world I have seen many social media influencers speak out on the top of just being. They have said that it is okay to just grieve and sit with the chaos. Many have made a major point to encourage followers to not attempt to use this time at home intentionally. Their point is that the ‘trauma’ and stress is enough and we shouldn’t pressure ourselves to be productive.

Render a New Song
What sin have you ignored, justified, or hidden? The time is NOW to bring it to the Light. No more 'I am sorry, I won't do it again' and then choosing that sin again when temptation feels crushing. The time to render our hearts to the Lord is NOW. He is gracious and slow to anger - abounding in steadfast love. That is your King.

Valentine’s Day – Friend’s Edition
Did you know you can celebrate your adult friends on Valentine’s Day? I know crazy right? It seems like a holiday for kid’s and lovers. BUT what if we changed that stigma and just chose to spread love everywhere? I think a lot of friends would be totally surprised if you choose to remind them that they are loved this Valentine’s Day!

2020 Vision
As I prayed and looked back on the last few months and considered some things I feel the Lord has been bring me to, I realized what my word was going to be. I was actually reading a book I got for my birthday and the word felt like it jumped off the page. I knew then that it was my word.

What’s the Word?
Two years ago I decided to pray the week from Christmas to New Year’s Day to see what word the Lord would give me. Two years ago my word was “rest” it was a year I needed to recover and press into the Lord. I didn’t feel to many grand feelings from considering that word but it was a blessed reminder when I started to get angsty.

Christmas Eve Box Tradition
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; Phillippians 3:20 Teaser Alert*** I am so excited to share a guest blog I did for the Healing Home’s holiday series. The Christmas holiday is one of the most difficult holidays to keep a proper perspective on and guide our children to that perspective as well.
