There are moments in life you never forget. You may have heard me tell about this particular moment in my life or read about it in our family’s story. But the night I googled ‘mucopolysaccharidosis’ and read the description was one of those moments. MPS III, Sanfilippo syndrome, is marked by…
Some days you give so much, you get to the point of feeling like you have nothing left to give. Have you ever been there? Emptiness can be such a twisted feeling. When I get to this point, when I feel empty inside, the only thing I know to do…
Last winter I posted 4 Fabulous Bible Apps I Recommend and I love how well-received Bible apps have become. I’m sure the kid who found the Dead Sea scrolls never dreamed that Christians today would be carrying the entire Word of God with them in digital form. A year is…
Each night my husband and I pray for and with each of our children. We established this beautiful pattern of bedtime routine from the beginning and they expect the routine! The few times a year that we are away from the kids, they want their prayer time over the phone….

A couple months back, my husband received the news that his high school coach unexpectedly went to Heaven. His heart was broken for several reasons, but the main reason was because he loved his coach. When he described the time he spent with his coach throughout his teen years, I…
How does one traverse from solely breathing to soulfully living? Long ago and far away, there lived a divorced mom. This story is one of her total revolution- from striving to thriving. I know, I know- it seems impossible, but it’s true. That mama- her heart was scarred and her…
Hey Friends- I decided it might be a good idea if we have a separate post each Monday for the Bible Reading Challenge to use as the Bible Reading Challenge Check-In. I want to be sure we have that weekly accountability to keep reading, no matter where we are in…
