Life is Not a Race
Texas summers are best enjoyed from air-conditioned rooms. But, the young ones need to get out of the house and so I suggest a contest. "Whomever swims the most laps gets extra iPad time!" (Sadly, iPad time ranks as a valuable commodity here.) Excited for the...
Does God Give Us the Desires of Our Heart?
Sometimes I wrestle with that verse in Psalms 37:4 about God giving us our heart's desires. How often does that happen? What about all the stuff I've longed for and never received? Is God really a good father who wants good for me? What about my let downs? My...
Compulsively Connected?
This summer I'm re-sharing some content from my earliest days of blogging. If you are staring at your phone right now, I think you'll be able to relate to this one! There is one thing all fitness instructors want you to know: We don't really want you to talk during a...
Following the recipe
I wrote this post a few years ago, but I hope you'll still find it thought provoking this week. Are you following God's recipe or doing your own thing hoping it'll turn out alright? I love recipes. But, I hate to be bound to them. They infringe on my creative ability...

We All Need Swimming Lessons
I wonder if God wants us all to learn how to swim. Figuratively at least. Over the course of the last week I've watched two of my children take swimming lessons and struggle. My oldest is somewhat determined to learn because he understands that visits to places like...
Flowers Don’t Compare Themselves, They Just Bloom.
I'm not sure who said it, or when, but I just fell in love with this quote, "Flowers don't compare themselves, they just bloom." Isn't that absolutely brilliant? Too often we look around at each other to measure our own progress. Somedays we can look to our left and...
From Delivery Room to Deliverance: Tess’ Story of Breaking Food Addiction
I love sharing the stories of other women who have broken free from the bondage of body image struggles. This is Tess' story. I found Tess online, we had a mutual friend, and I liked what I read. I can relate so much to her story, I bet you will too! (Have your own...
Journey to Freedom: Shannan’s Body Image Journal Week One
Have you ever wished you could read someone else's journal? Not to be a creeper or anything. . . but just so you could know that you aren't the ONLY one who thinks the way you do? Today a very brave reader friend, Shannan, is allowing us to do just that. She felt like...
Cindy Crawford’s Untouched Photos Went Viral: Why Are We Cheering?
Thigh dimples. Belly pooch. Saggy breasts. Stretch marks. We love to see them. No. Not on our own bodies. Yikes! Certainly not. We all bear the marks of this fallen world. Well most of us over the age of nineteen do. There are a few fortunate ones out there. (But...
