When this blog began in 2017, I was 40 years old and my 8th child had just been born. I wanted to share about marriage, motherhood, ministry, and making a home. My daughter Katelyn took many of the photos (such as the ones below) for this blog during her teen years. Now she is a married woman and I can only wonder how the years flew by so quickly.
I posted regularly from 2017 to early 2022, and then other areas of life became more demanding, making me unable to post anything for a few years. But I sure missed it, and kept waiting for the right time to get started again.
Now I am 48, and my roles have expanded from wife and mom to include Grammy and pastor’s wife. This year (2025) I plan to post once a month. There is so much to share!
God has been so good and I love sharing that goodness and joy with you here. But as always, I desire to be be very, very real. Some things in life can be written about and some things can’t, but please believe me when I say that our family experiences plenty of bad days, frustrations, poorly behaved children, meals that don’t turn out right, piles of clutter, mounds of unmatched socks, and days when I wonder how we got here and where we’re going.
In all of those things and much more, and throughout my years as a wife and mom, God has changed me, taught me, humbled me, and shaped me into a different person than I was ten or twenty years ago. As we do our best to take up the roles God gives us and grow through the difficulties, we learn to know Him more deeply. This is His plan.
I simply want to share life with you as from one Christian sister to another. I desire that this blog will help to place high value on the beautiful role of women serving Christ by serving in the home.
