I’m a little nervous to post this one, but it’s something the Lord has been speaking to me about and convicting me about for a while now, so I think it worthwhile to share. And it’s about social media: particularly social media and motherhood. If you’re a mom who posts your kids/babies/life on social media, …
God has been revealing a lot about this topic to me, by His Spirit and Word and through theologians, so I wanted to share what He has been showing me. “For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). These famous words of Jesus implore us …
If you missed my update post (spoiler: I’m pregnant with our first baby!), catch up here. Pregnancy and eating disorders are an interesting mix.

…And keep dating your spouse. Forever. Isn’t it true that we should date our spouses forever? That is a huge part of the commitment in marriage. It is a commitment to never stop dating, never stop pursuing, never stop loving. But dating doesn’t have to be expensive or fancy. Heck – it doesn’t even have …
If I’m honest, there are times my fingers touch the Instagram app before I feel like I even know what I’m doing. Do you know the feeling? It’s like, it draws you in. And why? Is it FOMO? Is it the idea of being numbed out? Or is it that we’re actually longing for the …

There is a way to be joyful all the time, every second, no matter what is happening. I am so excited to share this way with you. You know those crying moments where the tears just won’t stop flowing? There are just tears spilling over and waves after waves of hiccupy tears, your face red …
