mission ready marriage: the process

May 25, 2015May 25, 201518 Comments

Within an hour after giving birth to two of my three babies, I vomited. I don't know if it was a release of emotions, nerves, or physical exhaustion. Perhaps it was a reaction to medication. Or maybe that's just my body's response to childbirth. Unforgettably, passing off your newly swaddled baby to Daddy or a … Continue reading mission ready marriage: the process

  Are you on a journey? Where are you headed and where is your story taking you?

  I think life sometimes trains us to expect that the big, and monumental, and peaks are the only moments that count. It's just not true. It really is all of the little moments that all add up to make a life. As our stories unfold, I pray that I don't get too short sided … Continue reading sharing our stories
