So, here’s the deal… My kitchen is a mess, as is my dining room. Two out of the five of us aren’t feeling our best. The kids are arguing in the living room. The littlest is mad and crying. And I’m in the bathroom with the door locked. Despite what you will see as you...

God, please don’t let me miss it… Please don’t let me miss the beauty of creation because I’m always looking down when I should be looking up. Please don’t let me miss the beauty of friendship because I’m too busy to connect or too worried about a messy house. Please...

She woke up crying a few minutes ago. I picked her up and haven’t put her back down. I probably should. But I won’t…at least not yet. There are dishes still in the sink. A load of laundry still sits in the dryer from earlier today, wrinkling as I type. I still need to...

Our day hasn’t gotten off to a stellar start. In the early morning hours our oldest called for me. She was sick, vomiting in the bathroom. I took her temperature and it was pretty high. In general, fevers don’t alarm me, but I knew hers needed to come down. There was...
