Okay, y'all, today I am registering my daughter for high school. {I know, you are probably sick of hearing about this — but, for real, high school?? How is that even possible. We just brought her home from the hospital last week.} I'm experiencing all the emotions. Last night she and I were in the car {the theme of our summer} and I was overwhelmed by how much I enjoy her and how much fun we have had this summer. Oh there have been some moments when we probably could have killed each other ... ... [Read More]
life to the full or a full life?
We get so busy trying to find the best way to manage our time and to accomplish our goals so we can have full lives. I know, I do it. I've chased it and I've got the Pinterest boards to show for my search. But what if, God's desire for us isn't full lives ... what if we took seriously Jesus' words in John 10:10, "I've come that they {YOU!!} may have life to the full." But what does that mean? What does life to the full look like? Here's what I'm thinking ... what the Lord is speaking into ... [Read More]
What I Learned this Summer
There's this blog I read every day because it's awesome and inspires me and makes me feel like given enough white paint ANYTHING can be beautiful. Well, the incredible Myquillyn Smith {whose book is amazing!} has a sister who is precious in every possible way. So, anyway, in all the bizarreness that was my route to She Speaks this year, the coolest moment was getting this email. What??? Let's just say I might have jumped up and down with excitement. Then reality sunk in and I realized I ... [Read More]
Do You Love Your Life?
Well, y'all, I'm home from She Speaks. THANK YOU for your sweet prayers and words of encouragement. She Speaks was, as it always is, incredible. I wish there was a way to share every single moment of it with you. I'll be sorting through my notes and photos and business cards over the next few weeks and you can expect to hear more about the incredible messages from Lysa TerKeurst and Christine Caine ... and the incredible new friends I made and what they are up to ... and the words God ...

Quiet Times, West Wing, and Being Invaded
Wow! Yesterday's post spoke to several of you. Thanks for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. I loved the comments on Instagram too ... gotta love getting a "Boom!" about a post! {Thanks, Stef! And I loved this post she wrote about moms needing their own Bible time.} I've often wondered why my most popular posts are about quiet times and Bible studies. I think is has to do with this one thing: We desperately want someone to tell us we're doing it right! I am amazed at how many ... [Read More]
What’s the Point of a Quiet Time?
I feel the need to confess something ... my mornings have been utter chaos this summer. Camps and vacation and the urgent need for catching up on laundry in between finds me struggling to get into a good routine. I have great intentions. But in the clash between reality and intentions, well, reality typically wins. This summer has been full of hit and miss morning quiet times. More misses than hits, since I'm confessing. Maybe you deal with the same thing? Perhaps you have a baby or toddler ... [Read More]
