what I learned in march

March 30, 2015March 31, 20156 Comments

Today I’m linking up with Emily P. Freeman at Chatting at the Sky to share what we learned in March. Here’s what Emily has to say about the practice: “At the end of every month, we have a regular practice here of looking back before moving forward. While some of the deeper, more in-process things I may keep … Continue reading what I learned in march

book report: chapter 3 (march)

March 27, 2015May 3, 2016Leave a comment

I ended last year with some very specific goals for myself in 2015. One of those goals was to read more. Instead of waiting until the end of the year to make one gigantic list, I am going to post a monthly book report of what I’ve been reading. And instead of just listing the titles, I … Continue reading book report: chapter 3 (march)

do over in progress

March 9, 2015March 9, 201814 Comments

I'm not sure if you've heard, but 2015 is the year of Putting My Shoes Under the Bed. March is in full swing and I couldn't be more thrilled. I recently finished reading a book about seven important factors to regaining good health. This includes a normal body weight, and all of our body systems … Continue reading do over in progress

sharing our stories

March 5, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a comment

I'm preaching to the choir today. I have a manuscript printed off awaiting major revisions and edits. I can't seem to make myself sit down and work on it. I'm resisting because I know completing that step is like walking one step closer to a ledge. I will sit down and I will do my … Continue reading sharing our stories

goals in progress

March 2, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a comment

I am purposely updating and checking in on the progress of some of the goals I've set for myself in 2015. I find that if I merely say I have goals or even simply write them down, but don't evaluate and update their progress, then months go by and I have made NO progress at … Continue reading goals in progress

the difference between winning and trying

February 17, 2015March 18, 20157 Comments

A few weeks ago, my two older children participated in the local level Scripps Spelling Bee. They were competing among students grades 1-8, so I knew, at grades 3rd and 5th, they would have their work cut out for them in order to beat out fourteen year old Bee veterans. They knew this going into … Continue reading the difference between winning and trying

confessions of a pastor’s wife

February 13, 2015March 13, 20166 Comments

  I am a big fan of Sundays, of church-going, of Sabbath-keeping and of the fellowship of the saints. In fact, I could probably count on my fingers and toes the times I have ever missed church. I grew up going every week because my parents were faithful laypersons who served in Sunday school, church … Continue reading confessions of a pastor’s wife

the day the circus came to town

February 10, 2015March 18, 20151 Comment

Friday, I took our three children to the circus. I'll preface that with I'm not a big fan of the circus. Mainly because: I have a life-long fear/hatred of clowns I read Water for Elephants three years ago and think the circus is weird and cruel We just aren't "circus" people However, at ages seven, … Continue reading the day the circus came to town
