Skye was talking about our hike to Mount Jumullong Mango while we were on Guam. We had tried before, but Skye fell HARD! His knee landed so hard on a rock that the rock broke to pieces! Between that, and not realizing yet that I was anemic and getting dizzy constantly, and taking turns holding […]

We got a new kitty after moving here, to help take some of the sting away from the kiddos missing their dad while he’s away this year. Also, Skye bought a rat with birthday money, but it died recently. I got two new hamsters to replace him so that each child has one. When it […]

I absolutely love the story of “the woman with the issue of blood” in the Bible. Having dealt with chronic pain for 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴, I can understand her desperation, and 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 the words Jesus spoke to this woman, (who essentially had her period for 12 straight years!) He told her, “𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳; 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘢𝘴 […]

Back when we were on Guam, Cliffton said to Annabelle, “Don’t get anything else out and make more of a mess or I’ll punch you in the stomach.” Annabelle just laughed in response, because she knew her dad was joking and would never actually do that. (Don’t judge our parenting skills and sarcasm 🤪) Annabelle […]

Over the last 5 years or so, I have been learning so much about myself and what’s in my heart; the good, the bad, and the very ugly. I never realized how much anxiety I had until around the time I had my little Annabelle, five and a half years ago. I realized just how […]

Dear Jen,Your daughter’s not looking at the extra weight you’ve put on. She’s not looking at the cellulite you’re concerned about, or the varicose veins. What she DOES notice is how you carry yourself. She’s learning how to love herself. How will she learn to love herself if she doesn’t see you loving YOURself? You […]

Over the last few years God has kept the word “vulnerable” on my heart. I feel like I have always hoped to seem like I actually have things together. There have been times in my life when I even tricked myself into thinking I actually DID have things “together!” HA! 😆As I made my walk […]
