Wednesday Word: From Seeds to Roots
•
Saturday night I prayed and asked God a couple of somewhat specific questions. If I’m honest, it’s kind of scary praying like that sometimes, because especially right now there’s a lot of noise in my life and I’m afraid that I’ll miss the answer when it comes. Or misinterpret. Or…

Wednesday Word: Proper Blinders
•
My 6 year old son just has a way of asking questions that make you think. Of course plenty of them can be nonsense, because who knows what’s going on in that sweet head of his. But about half the time he asks thought-provoking questions that require careful answers. One…

Wednesday Word: Overhaul
•
I’ve been in the thick of what they call the “4 month sleep regression.” If I’m honest, there’s a lot about the last 14 days that I frankly don’t remember. My little one has been waking multiple times in the night so I have not gotten much quality sleep, or…

Wednesday Word: Beauty of the Falls
•
Pray for me. We’re in the trenches of the 4 month sleep regression (Google it if you don’t know what I’m talking about) and honestly my brain is barely functional. I’m exhausted and I barely remember the last week! So this week, here are two pictures from our recent family…

Wednesday Word: Trust Doesn’t Mean Understanding
•
The other evening I was going through my email and actually reading some of it (because who has time to do that regularly as a mom of a 15 week old?). I haven’t had the emotional or mental capacity to delve too deeply into the prophetic word emails I get…
