Praise Before the Breakthrough

God is everywhere, in the grief, in the pain, in the rejoicing, in the memories. God is found right in the faces of the people we love most. He is perfectly stitching the fabric of our lives together turning them into something so beautiful and brand new we sometimes have a hard time perceiving it. Life is new in this season. The way you handle life, nothing you have done or have been through will ever discredit you because the Lord is doing a new thing. Do you perceive it? And what are you going to do with it? . . . . . . #nanoinfluencer #discoverunder5k #influencerswanted #lifestyleinfluencer #influencernetwork #livinglifetothefullest #coastalva #hamptonroads #757 #microblogger #lovenn #easterfun #microblogger #propheticword #propheticblog #christiancreatives #mentalhealthmatters #griefsupport #faithblogging #christianblogger #anxietyhelp #mentalhealthcheckin

What do you do with news you never wanted? How are you supposed to react when part of your heart is going away? I am not sure of any of these things. All I know is three to six months is not enough time to say goodbye. Three to six months is a nanosecond in... Continue Reading →

Social Media Rough Patches

If you were my Facebook friend between 2009-2012, I greatly apologize. I know whenever my "On This Day" memories come up I am going to stare at the screen for ten minutes straight, with question marks in my eyes, and wonder how I managed to have friends. Thanks to social media we can now have... Continue Reading →

Just Get in the Car

Parenting is hard. Most of the time it makes zero sense, like today. We embark on our two minute journey for coffee, leaving Madi with my grandmother.  A few minutes later the phone rings. It is Meme, “Did you know you forgot one child?” I explain that Madi did not want to go and I... Continue Reading →
