It’s never how we planned…

December 19, 2017December 19, 20172 Comments

My grandma used to tell me, 'Just wait. Life keeps going faster." It's just hard to believe that when it already feels like it's flying by. It's become so true. With every new year, child, life change, etc. it just feels like this year was faster than last. Well, today I'm going to review what … Continue reading It’s never how we planned…

I was going to write this as kinda an open letter to whoever would read this, like a general blog post - but then realized this is for you and Alex, Kristen.

Today in particular was a big day emotionally as my hubby and I finally decided that … Continue reading The Next Steps… Simplified?

Pursuing My Village…

It's nights like these that I look around and for a quick moment feel surrendered to the magic of the atmosphere. It's a culmination of shared experiences and a consistency of time and intentionality as we do life together. It all leads me to these split seconds where I'm suddenly a witness to beauty and in awe … Continue reading Pursuing My Village…

Won’t you be my Sponsor?

Okay, here's the deal. I decided a couple weeks ago that I was going to run 100 miles before going to Haiti in October. So here it is.

Sponsor. You … Continue reading Won’t you be my Sponsor?

Running to Haiti.

In August 2015 last year my pastor ran across the state raising money to feed orphans in Haiti. After he finished a good friend of ours felt moved to continue the movement and pick up where Pastor Jim left off. So Tim ran 10 miles every day for 10 days or something crazy like that. … Continue reading Running to Haiti.
