Lately, my husband has begun feeling like he is being called into ministry. He has been doing part time ministry in prison discipleship, working with inmates to know Jesus better. When he comes home, he is glowing. He was made for this. He loves sharing Jesus with these men, and seeing their faith grow inContinue reading “My New Job, My Husband’s Calling”

Villainizing Boundary Setting
I read a great quote that said, “Want to know if some people are toxic? Say no and watch how they react.” Boundaries are important. Growing up I remember my parents having boundaries with us as kids. Things we were, without question, not allowed to do. One was disrespectful behavior toward them. Setting boundaries withContinue reading “Villainizing Boundary Setting”
Keeping No Record of Wrongs
C. S. Lewis said of Christianity, “It is a religion that you could not have guessed…it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all thee boys’ philosophies – – these over simple answers. TheContinue reading “Keeping No Record of Wrongs”
Tithing
I’m no theologian, but I wanted to share my experience with tithing and what it has done in my life. I believe tithing as a Christian is one of those non-negotiable acts of obedience. We aren’t perfect but we should strive to be obedient in all things and tithing is not merely a suggestion butContinue reading “Tithing”
We Tried to Attend a Trump Rally
Chris and I got to experience part of a Donald Trump campaign rally this past weekend. As registered independent voters, it was an interesting experience for sure. Neither of us have voted for Trump in the past. In 2016 I was not a citizen yet but I volunteered for the Gary Johnson campaign. In 2020Continue reading “We Tried to Attend a Trump Rally”

Marital Bliss
I’ve been married (to my second husband) for about 5 minutes and I’m just overjoyed. He is the dream I didn’t even know I could dream. I love him in a way that makes me feel like my heart will explode. But we also come into this new relationship with a combined total of 50Continue reading “Marital Bliss”
Radically Honest
It is common for people when relaying their perspectives to fib, lie by omission, exaggerate, fabricate or embellish. If someone catches 8 fish it’s not uncommon for them to “round up” and say 10. If someone works a 10 hour shift they may embellish the story and say they worked 12. Because they think itContinue reading “Radically Honest”
Not Our Timing
I remember the first time I saw my husband, I thought he was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. I wondered how the other people who saw him there didn’t feel as dizzy as I did. I remember my first impression, that he wasn’t just beautiful but captivating in every way. We met becauseContinue reading “Not Our Timing”
