Have you ever wanted something and yet struggled to achieve your goal? Let me tell you a little story. Roy and I both recently turned 50. Ugh? It’s painful even to admit, but I am thankful to still be alive and thriving! Eight years ago, we were both in the best shape of our lives. […]
The last few months have been incredibly stressful. I changed jobs at the beginning of the year, and it has become increasingly apparent that my new job just isn’t a good fit for me. I. Am. Miserable. I can’t pinpoint anything specific. People aren’t mean. The work isn’t difficult. There have been some moments of […]

Today is my 50th birthday! Honestly, that’s really hard for me to even say. I don’t feel 50. I hope I don’t look 50. I don’t want to be 50. But I am. In all reality, my 50th birthday is so much better than my 40th birthday. Ten years ago, I was in the depths […]

In the last few years, I have discovered one thing about parenting that no one ever told me: The hardest season of parenting is the young adult years. Let me tell you something. Those single parenting years were excruciating. They were busy. They were chaotic. They were exhausting. I was weary. I was lonely. I […]

I’ve said it before and I’m certain I will say it many more times before I die: Embrace the journey. Yes, a wise friend gave me this little piece of advice some thirteen years ago when I learned of my husband’s affair. I thought she might be a little crazy at the time, but she […]
Oh, Anna! I am so sorry! I can’t even start to express the depths of pain that I feel for you! It has been a long, hard journey, and I know it’s not over yet. I know you are devastated. Broken. Confused. Angry. This man who you thought was a man after God’s own heart […]

Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 43:5 Have you ever felt this in the core of your being? Have you ever felt so down and disturbed and you just didn’t even know why? Have you ever been […]

You’ve heard the saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” I’ve been in some tough situations in my life. Some really tough situations. I actually have some tough situations in my life right now. But do you know what? I know this season will pass, and God will use it to make […]
What comes to your mind when someone says self-care? Do you think of a luxurious spa day? A regular mani/pedi? Maybe you think about an extravagant vacation. A day at the beach. An exciting weekend with the girls. Or maybe it’s something simpler for you. A candlelight bubble bath. A quiet walk in the park. […]

I am so excited to announce the Launching Into Freedom Conference to be held this Saturday, April 10. A friend of mine went through a really tough time a while back. Her daughter was really sick and nearly died, and then her husband left and filed for divorce. It was a pretty dark season, as […]
