The Decision to Start Therapy

By 21 Comments

I knew there were seasons of grief, but I didn’t expect it to be such a roller coaster, and I certainly didn’t expect to be feeling the loss of my dad in the worst of ways over 4 years later. I truly find it harder to deal with his death now than when it actually […]

Coping With Anxiety at the End of Pregnancy

By 2 Comments

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of emotions and feelings as we await the arrival of our third baby due any day or any week now. Just like my pregnancy apps warn me: “You may start to feel anxious about your impending labor and delivery“. You think?! I’ve been wanting to feel as […]

Weathering the Storm of a Miscarriage

By 36 Comments

“Storm” has been a theme in my life this last week. A week ago today I was frantically cleaning my house, preparing meals for my family and packing for a quick blogging trip to Arkansas. It was the day before my period was expected, and I figured “oh what the heck! I’ll take a pregnancy test […]

The Former Things Have Passed Away

By 1 Comment

I cannot believe that two years have passed. Two years since the phone call at dinner that made me numb. So numb that my tear ducts burned but wouldn’t produce any tears. My head couldn’t process the the awful news that my father lost his battle with alcoholism and lost his life that day. His […]

Talking About Heaven With Braden

By 6 Comments

It’s been almost 20 months since my dad died, and on December 11 it would have been his 57th birthday. Braden must have heard me talking about my Dad’s birthday because yesterday, we had the following conversation, and I had to write it down right away so I wouldn’t forget it. I’m so proud of […]

Farming Requires Faith Like a Mustard Seed

By 10 Comments

Or in our case: faith like a canola seed. Because canola seeds are so small, we have to have faith that those tiny little seeds will find moisture, germinate, and be able to grow into a huge plant. The seeds have all been planted for the 2014 growing season, a lot of the crops are emerging […]

Duck Dynasty Controversy: Why I Still Love Them

By 15 Comments

Truth be told, I don’t watch a lot of reality TV because I don’t like the drama. There was a time in my life with my dad and his extended family that I had more than enough drama in my own life that I certainly didn’t want to add to it by watching it on […]

In Sickness and In Health

By 15 Comments

On Friday morning Ethan woke up at the ungodly hour of 5:00. I haven’t night-nursed him in months, but I figured I would give it a shot – change his diaper in case #2 is what woke him up, nurse him, and lay him back down in hopes of him catching a few more z’s. […]

Ethan’s Dedication – The Blessing of a Child

By 13 Comments

On Sunday we had our precious baby Ethan dedicated. We made the choice 3 years ago to have Braden dedicated and there wasn’t a doubt that we were going to do the same for Ethan. We decided with our pastor that we would choose to dedicate our children vs. baptize, and if you want to […]

Struggling With My Faith

By 22 Comments

Today is the one year anniversary that I accepted Jesus into my heart. I was at my first ladies retreat and my life has been changed ever since that weekend. I was happy to spend the day there yesterday, the place where Jesus found me, with my sister-in-law and two other women whom I love […]
