I just realized it has been exactly 2 months since I last posted. Wow, I can't believe how much has changed in just 2 short months. On April 3, we had baby #2. Finally, 7 weeks later I feel like I'm starting to walk out of the newborn "fog". At the risk of offending many of …
It’s All About Perspective
This past week has just been one of "those" weeks at our house. You know one of those weeks where nothing seems to go right, nothing terrible, just a bunch of little annoyances that add up to a really stressful week. Even though nothing devastating happened, it was hard not to have a pity party …
Let Light Shine in the Darkness
Today is a beautiful day in Atlanta, GA. After what seems like endless days of rain and dreariness, the sun has made an appearance and it is glorious. The minute we got home from church, I had to open up all the shutters and let the sunlight stream in; my soul had been missing it. After …

New Year, New Me?
Happy 2013!For a long time I didn't make New Year's resolutions. I honestly thought they were silly. If I needed to make a change in my life, why wouldn't I do it at any point in the year? And, who really keeps them anyways?Then, last year, God revealed to me that He is the God …
Advent Week 3- JOY
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh." Matthew 2:10-11 All the songs say it. We should be jolly and …
