Bible Basics Children’s Book Giveaway!
I’ve been on a bit of a blogging break as I follow the direction God is leading me in this season. In February we finished up a series that led me to a place of pause. So for most of March I’ve been waiting for direction from God for the next blog series (also I’ve been finishing up final edits on my book that comes out THIS FALL! EEK!

Calling All Perfectionists

Living With Purpose in Every Season: Week 6 Do ever feel like everyone else is doing life better than you? I get it. I see what everyone else is doing and how awesome they are doing it and wonder what I am missing. As a homeschool mom for the past three years, the trap of comparison is so evident all around me.

Week 1: Silent Seasons Week 2: Seasons of Blessings Week 3: Seasons to Stop Week 4: Seasons of Uncertainty And now for Week 5: Seasons When You Feel Shattered As a teenage girl I knew what it felt like to feel shattered. On the first day of school, a boy who I really liked, asked me to go to the biggest event of the school year. One day after lunch, he asked if we could talk. Right there in the middle of the lunch room he ripped out my heart and told me we would have more fun with

For me, it is a constant learning curve. Just when I think I have it figured out, God seems to redirect me a different way. In some ways it’s exciting and other ways it brings frustration and a constant string of questions
