Usually I would say something lighthearted, maybe funny, to open this blog up. But honestly, grief is a pretty straightforward word. It usually brings a sense of sadness or reminds you of someone or something close to you that is no longer here. But I want to talk about a different kind of grief. Grief is defined as the natural physical, emotional, and psychological response to a significant loss, especially the death of a loved one. And I think that definition is important.

Grief brings many questions to the surface. Why them? Why now? And perhaps the largest question: “God if you’re so good, why didn’t you stop this?” Sometimes, these thoughts scare us. We feel the need to hide them because they make us worry that we are doubting God. We wonder if being faithful means we can never ask why. If you look at Scripture, there are so many examples of sorrow, questioning, and struggle. One well known example is Job. The interesting thing about our per

I didn't know much about it until I was around 10 years old. The last 8 years he was alive were less than great. When he passed in 2016, 9 months before I got married, I had every emotion yo

I have decided that summer of 2026 will forever be a favorite for me. I learned so much in three and a half short months.

Then the Lord surprised me with the sweetest and most precious answered prayer that I have had in a long time at the end of summer. It was a summer full of travel and adventure. We gained many memories but even in the midst, th

We need to be seen as real. There is no reason to have it all together all the time. In marriage. In motherhood. With our kids. In leadership. Scripture gives us a clear contrast between hiding and humility. Saul was anointed by God through Samuel to be the first king of Israel. He led armies. He had authority. He had position. But he was more concerned with what people thought than with what God said. He gave in to pressure. He cared about appearances. In 1 Samuel 28, we see

It’s quite funny that when trying to think about the words rest and reflection as a woman who has always been a stay-at-home mom, the first thought that comes to mind is, “What exactly IS true rest and reflection?” Not only what is it, but how do I achieve it? Our world often associates rest with laziness and reflection with something none of us have time for. But not only is it necessary, it’s Biblical. Matthew 11:28–29 says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
