Confession: I butt heads with my mom. I can be particular and independent, she is passionate and involved. We’re both fiery, in our own ways, and stubborn. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. We don’t hit conflict often, but when we do it’s heavy, hurtful and hard for us both. Yet here’s the…

Working Mommahood + Kingdom Roles
The past two weeks have been particularly tough ones for my momma heart as I’ve left my girl each day to go to work. The weekends go too fast and the evenings feel like a whirlwind from the moment I walk in the door until I lay my baby down to sleep. I know God…

I Get to Choose How Others Make Me Feel
Earlier this week I was on a walk with a dear friend who opened up about hurt she had felt (unintentionally) at the hand of someone else.
