Balancing the Good Things in Life
Mornings are tough. They can start off in such a hustle to get everyone up, ready, fed, and out the door on time. While the chaotic morning routines are being carried out, you’re going over a mental list of errands and projects that need to be completed. Then you remember some tasks that didn’t get done […]
Have you ever gone through an extended period of time when nothing seemed to go as planned? You just kept taking blow after blow and couldn’t seem to gain any ground. Plans you made seemed to always fall through or turn out nothing like you expected. Perhaps you are going through a time like this […]
Two of my favorite things are the Bible and the beach. So, naturally as I was thinking of designing a card for Valentine’s Day, those are the things I focused on. After much searching, I found this Bible verse. It’s a beautiful message and command from God. Above all, love each other deeply, because love […]
“Let all that you do be done in love.” It sounds like a simple thing to do, doesn’t it. But it’s not. I find myself needing to be reminded of this verse often. When I’m driving and someone cuts me off. When my children disregard boundaries we’ve set. When I scroll through Facebook and am […]

If you’re thinking of updating some seasonal decor around your home to reflect the new season, I’ve got just the thing! I currently have a lot of light turquoise or robin’s egg blue in my home decor. Luckily, these shades […]
Immeasurably more. I don’t know about you, but for me “immeasurably more” is difficult to comprehend. Years ago when I taught kindergarten one of my students asked me, “What is infinity?” As I thought about how to explain infinity to a 5 year old, I decided to open the question up to the whole class. (This is a clever […]
Maybe you’ve had a day like my yesterday. Almost as soon as I woke up I started thinking, “I can’t do this.” I determined early to call out for help to the only One who could help. The first words I spoke were, “God, I need your strength.” I wish I could tell you those […]
Why is it so hard to slow down? The challenge of being still and getting quiet is extremely difficult in today’s world. There is such an emphasis on action, doing, getting results, that we continually push ourselves beyond the point of being productive. There is so much noise, activity and overall busyness. Distractions are many. […]
