Wrestling and Struggling
Hello friends, I know I missed writing last week, and am writing late today for publication immediately instead of my usual planning ahead. Sometimes life as a mother means less time for your own pursuits, and sometimes it just means less mental energy/capacity. But I have also been struggling with how to write this post.…

Bonus Thoughts
Lenten Update Lent is almost at an end, and I would be lying to not say that I am looking forward to eating meat again. However, we have been thoroughly surprised with how things have gone so far. I figured we would be completely tired of eating beans, or end up not satisfied by our…

Compassionate Ministry
As far as I know, most, if not all, church denominations have some sort of compassionate ministry. The exact dimensions of the ministry might vary, but they seek to share the gospel of Jesus through meeting human physical, mental, and emotional needs. It can look like building water wells, sponsoring children, fighting human trafficking, emergency…

Words like sin, grace, mercy, sanctification, and holiness have special use and understanding with people of faith.

Lenten Update
We’ve had some inquiries as to what we are eating for meal during Lent since we have given up meat. I figured I might as well share with all my readers. I will caveat that we were trying to finish up some items so they wouldn’t spoil last week so it wasn’t as meatless as…

Recycling Obsession
Ever since the invention of plastic we have been told that recycling is the answer for our ever increasing waste. We’ve gotten really good at making plastics. A man-made product that never completely breaks down in nature. The particles simply get smaller until we can not see them with our eye. It’s sterile nature is…

Faithful Obedience
Today you get a bonus post! Surprise! I’ll be honest. This blogging journey isn’t easy. I felt called, the tug on my heart that wouldn’t go away, but I resisted for a long time. Probably too long. I do believe there are blessings from God that I missed out on because I was too afraid…
