After graduating from college, I moved out to Portland, Oregon for an adventure. During my time in Portland, I was given an amazing opportunity to work for the church that I was involved with called Imago Dei Community. During my four years of working at Imago Dei, I poured my heart and soul into the… Continue reading Peace Like A River
I am, by nature, a people pleaser. I don’t want to inconvenience others or put more on their plate, especially if its for my benefit. Therefore, when someone asks me what it is that I want, it is sometimes difficult for me to be honest. Not long ago, I felt in my heart that God… Continue reading What Is It That You Want?
This is about the most political I will probably get on social media. And it’s not even really political, but instead of a reminder to myself of what we are called to as believers. And that is, to remember who is in charge. I have been a little distracted lately. My stomach knots every time… Continue reading Falling Into Place
This is Little Puppy. As Noah was leaving a Sushi restaurant, he found this little figurine sitting on a bench all by his lonesome.

She can also sing. When I first met her, she told me she liked to sing and does so… Continue reading I See You
Female friendships are hard. Just typing that sentence makes the anxiety pour in and my stomach turn a little. Friendships can come with emotion, competition, thick walls and not nearly enough encouragement, grace, or a listening ear. Female friendships can also be a beautiful, powerful and most needed thing that all women desire on some… Continue reading Women Friendships Are (Fill in the Blank)
I grew up a daddy’s girl. He could do anything, be anything and could say no wrong. We have home videos, pictures and loads of memories that confirm his superhero-ness, in case you have any doubts. I hung onto every word he said (probably to a fault) and thought he was the wisest man I… Continue reading Love, Your Eldest Daughter
We woke up this morning, got dressed and miraculously got out the door before 7:30am. We had things to do and family to see, but first, a quick detour so that Noah could deliver an order of salmon to a local farmer about an hour outside of Madison. Our family loves visiting this particular customer… Continue reading Want to Make a Trade?
Noah and I have always been dreamers. We have big plans, but for many reasons, very rarely have they been reachable. Lately, we are seeing that one of them actually could be a reality as we are watching some doors begin to open. We are still in the early beginnings of the dream and who… Continue reading All About Timing
It Is Happy To Love
