It’s been a longer day and we had a happy late night out with friends. The kids were getting to bed later than normal, and I always feel a bit rushed to get through bedtime routines on nights like that. I’ve observed the unfair tendency to be an impatient mom when I’m feeling rushed. I … Continue reading “I’m Getting Married, Mom”

I Love Their Daddy the Most
Before we were married Jordan and I made the commitment to always try to get away with each other at least once a year. We’ve made it happen every year so far even though it has been hard to sort logistics out every time. Last year we did get away all though as soon as … Continue reading I Love Their Daddy the Most
Tasting God’s Goodness in Rahab Mercy
Today we are so especially thankful that God decided to entrust her to us. A year ago today blood tests revealed a dangerous drop in progesterone and we were awaiting an ultrasound to see if she was still there with us. Had we not heard her heart beating so perfectly that day, God would … Continue reading Tasting God’s Goodness in Rahab Mercy
And um Change My Heart
It’s been a long day…. Sickness and babies and no naps and daddy working. Everyone has failed everyone. We made it to bedtime and Hadassah was making her prayer last as long as possible, thanking God for things including, but not limited to: m&ms, poop (seriously), ice cream, pig, Starbucks, the candy store and bubbles. … Continue reading And um Change My Heart

And those are good things to think about every now and then. Year 22 is starting out happy. Sheer, … Continue reading Reflecting on This Year
Proud Wife … A Husband Brag
Right now he thought he was going to be presenting his own research, yet again, in a highly honored symposium at the University of Alabama. He has now been invited to present his research at an academic symposium twice, both for the two most liberal and secular departments of the school. Both papers were based on Scripture and … Continue reading Proud Wife … A Husband Brag
The Will of God for Me
This is the will of God, your sanctification. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 We talk about God’s will like it is so hard to interpret. “I wish God would just put His will right in front of me!” Well…. He kind of did. This is the will of God for you, your sanctification. I’ve heard people say about marriage, … Continue reading The Will of God for Me
Redeeming Moments with Hadassah
This Sunday morning looked like most of mine do … sitting in a church pew covered in tiny peppermint pieces and chocolate chip cookie crumbs, princess and animal stickers all over my body, crayons rolling away from me and towards the pulpit, sticky fruit roll up pieces stuck to my Bible, and (this is a new … Continue reading Redeeming Moments with Hadassah
Why "Rahab"?
Oh, baby names! We love them. One of my favorite things to do is to read through baby name books. My siblings and I have special memories of every birthday at our house: We would all sit down on the benches around our long table and listen to mom and dad tell the story about … Continue reading Why "Rahab"?
