I can't believe we're in the last week of 2016. Y'all, cray-zee. This year flew by, didn't it?? I was looking over the posts I wrote this year and all the topics we've covered around here. The most popular posts covered some of my favorite topics—lopsided living, praying for your daughter, and more. It's been a good year, you know? It's been hard sometimes. But there has also been a lot of joy. The biggest news this year in our house was my book contract with Bethany House. I'm still a little ... [Read More]
Lopsided Living at Christmas
Can you believe Christmas is just over two weeks away? I don't know about you but to me it really feels like 2016 has flown by. As we've been working out our holiday calendar and plans, we keep coming back to our WHY. This year it's circled back to time for just our little family of three. With the realization that Casiday's senior year is just around the corner, both Scott and I have a keen awareness of the sweetness of these how quickly the time of our girl living here with us is passing ...

What’s Your WHY? Living Your Priorities this Christmas
Our family calendar for the next few weeks looks basically like a pack of Bic pens blew up. Places we are supposed to be. Practices we are supposed to attend. Parties we are supposed to host. People we are supposed to see. Supposed. That's such a guilt-inducing word, right? Sort of like "should" and "ought." In my mind, every sentence that includes one of those three words is followed by a sentence beginning with, "But ..." And, honestly, because of the blend of my people-pleasing ... [Read More]
{Book Review} Listen Love Repeat by Karen Ehman
Have you ever read a couple of lines in a book and had to stop because the words resonated so deeply within you that you needed time to stop and allow them to sink in and soak in and expand. Four years ago, I read a book by Karen Ehman titled Let. It. Go. It rocked my world. Seriously. Two years ago, I was honored to endorse her next book, Keep. It. Shut. Another awesome book. But her latest, Listen, Love, Repeat: Other-Centered Living in a Self-Centered World, is even better. By the time ... [Read More]
You’ve Got This! {a prayer for the embracers of Lopsided Living}
Welcome to Day 31 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! Well, my friends, we made it to the end. Can I tell you I really wasn't sure this would happen? Not because of you, of course. But because somehow my silly little self thought I could write a 31-day series about one of the topics I care most deeply about AND finish the manuscript for my first book at the same time. But guess what?? We did it! And I mean WE because every email you sent me this month, every comment you left, every kind ... [Read More]
Remember Your Why
Welcome to Day 30 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! On Sundays we consider a verse and how God's Word is a faithful guide for us as we pursue Lopsided Living. This is one that has come back to me time and again over the past month with all its hecticness and demands. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you ... James 4:8 Remember your why! Lopsided living isn't about getting more done or having it all together or impressing anyone else. The purposeful pursuit of ... [Read More]
