At The Well, Guest Post {Filled With His Glory}

Happy Sunday, friends!  And what a gorgeous day it is up in our neck of the woods. You’ll find this week’s guest post right here, At The Well

At The Well, Guest Post {Teach Them}

When we pick up gorgeous, deep red leaves from the ground during fall, or catch the intricacies of the perfect snowflake on a black-sweatered arm in the chill of winter, it is here that we cultivate an awe for our Creator in their tender hearts.  In chalk Bible stories sketched out on the driveway, alongside scribbled hop scotch squares.  Or… Read More

Baby Smooches

I’m home.  The retreat was fabulous {or at least I thought it was…and I didn’t put anyone to sleep}. Our 1st annual church harvest party was a blast…we broke in our new fire pit, took 17 people on a hayride behind my hubby’s sexy tractor, taste tested 8 different pots of chili, sipped hot cider with entirely too much whipped… Read More

A Daddy’s Lens & Some {Killer} Photography Tips

When asked what we had hoped for during those first few months of pregnancy, gender wise, of course we delivered the customary, good parent response…”a healthy baby!”. But if we had been brutally honest, I would have totally whispered…I’d love a girl!  And I scored with our sweet Bean. My hubby was just thrilled with his healthy baby girl –… Read More

Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie

I must confess, I was a little intimidated when a friend handed me a bundle of rhubarb and my husband’s face lit up. He adores rhubarb sour cream pie.  His mama made it.  His grandma makes it.  His wife had never even laid her hands on rhubarb.  And we know how horribly things went last time I tried to make… Read More

Excuses, Updates and an ATW Guest Post

Contrary to what a lack of posts for almost a week may depict, I’m alive and semi-well.  Emphasis on semi. Our wee babes and I are all fighting colds, a sinus infection and an ear infection {nicely distributed between the three of us}.  Life is peachy!  Speaking of peaches…our little tree is dropping gorgeous, juicy peaches daily and I’ve been… Read More

Guess What Today Was…?

And she was as ready as can be.  Happy dance ready!  And loved every minute of it.

At The Well: Guest Post {2 Ears, 1 Mouth}

I get that mixed up on occasion.  I tend to live the Picasso life…as though my face boasted two mouths and one little ear.  And I mean little. The book of James is a fabulous {challenging…convicting} reminder to tend to the often malfunctioning filter on my flapping tongue, and to open my ears instead… {read this guest post here}

At The Well: Guest Post {Perfect Peace}

Yes, you’ve seen this photo before!  I love it!  And I couldn’t wait until this guest post was published, so I turned it into August’s desktop wallpaper and shared it 2 weeks ago! Impatient…who me? Do you struggle with trusting God?  With every thing? With the big things?  And the small?  And the everyday, seemingly-trivial details of life? Marinade your… Read More

Fish: From Lake to Plate in 12 Hours Flat

My hubby and I spent the day at Michigan’s Adventure with fabulous friends yesterday, while our kiddos stayed home with nana and papa.  I got entirely too much sun, ate entirely too much food, and had entirely too much fun on the rides.  Going down water slides, over and over and over again – just us adults – was just… Read More

We spend so much time waiting to feel ready... mor We spend so much time waiting to feel ready...
more confident, more equipped, more certain.
But God often asks a simpler question:
What’s already in your hand?

Small doesn’t mean insignificant.
And obedience doesn’t require certainty—just trust.

🎙️ Episode 011 of Oh, Good Grief | The Podcast is live:
 What's In Your Hand? | The Power of Small Beginnings

 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts,
 and go in the strength you already have.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re getting it wrong m If you’ve ever felt like you’re getting it wrong more often than right, this episode is a gentle reminder: you’re not failing—you’re being formed.

All is grace.

While we’re raising them, God is still raising us. While we’re raising them, God is still raising us.

🎙️ Episode 010 of Oh, Good Grief is live | Raising Kids While God Is Raising Us

Listen in on my conversation with my daughter, Alathea, and we talk about apology, repair, grace, and what it looks like to grow together as a family instead of pretending we have it all figured out.
