Losing Sight of Joy in Motherhood

Losing Sight of Joy in Motherhood

The house is finally quiet. I just loaded the dishwasher, moved the sprinkler and started some laundry. About 30 minutes ago I laid all three of my boys down for a nap and I am exhausted. They wear me out in good ways and in the really bad ways, like tantrums, fighting, crying, etc.
I grab my glass of iced water and sit down for a moment, the only moment in my day when I am completely and..

Cultivating a Heart of Praise

Cultivating a Heart of Praise

Do you ever feel like God gives you more than you can handle? Do you sometimes feel like, “wow, God, what are you trying to do to me? Another trial, another hardship?”

Recently, I’ve gone through one of the most trying time periods of my life. I say “time period” because just when I thought one trial had ended, another one began. There was a point where I was scared of something going right because I kept having a feeling that something would go terribly wrong if it did! Long story short, my puppy ran away, got hit by a car, (she’s better now), baby Nolan, (who was 4 months old at the time) and I got in a car accident and my car was totaled; I was out of a car, had back pain, a minor fracture in my wrist, stress, anxiety, the baby was teething, Dylan and I weren’t sleeping, we were easily upset, and a multitude of other issues all happened within a month. I was in and out of doctor appointments every week it seemed like.

I was scared. I was tired. I felt lost.Have you ever felt this way?

Health, Fitness and the Christian Girl

Health, Fitness and the Christian Girl

A couple of weeks ago I took a poll on our Instagram and asked how many of you were interested in living a healthy life and honoring God with your bodies by staying in shape and I was surprised by how many of you answered in favor!

With almost 80% of you interested in health and fitness it got me excited because it’s one of my hobbies/passions.Some of you may be wondering what health and fitness has to do with Christianity and honoring God. I never cared about or thought about living a healthy life when I was a teenager or in my early twenties until I realized the importance of it and how important it is for our Christian walk.

Let me explain.

Overcoming Your Struggle With Health

Overcoming Your Struggle With Health

Hi ladies. I want to talk about so much in this article. There are so many things about health, fitness, sickness, injuries, and disorders that I want to touch on. God has been putting on my heart for sometime now to open up about this part of my life. I’ve put it off for long enough. Now I don’t know where to begin or even how to say all the things I want to say.

The word “health” is not a..

To The Young Wife With Too Many Expectations

Recently I married my best friend December 18, 2016. This has been the most amazing  7 month whirlwind of love, and pure joy that I’ve ever experienced. Dylan and I have grown closer than ever. We are learning how to bring everything to God first and putting the Lord above ourselves and seeing each other the way God sees us-that is how we can learn to be selfless and therefore love each other..

A Love Story Only God Could Write Part 1

April 2015: I was a wreck. The past winter and spring had been the darkest time in my life. I had gone through a terrible,  relationship a few months before and I was struggling with fear, doubt, anger, bitterness, depression and anorexia. God was calling me into a deeper walk with him but I was too consumed with what had gone wrong in my life to reach out to Him. Not that I wasn’t doing my..
