Two weeks from today, we will be sitting down for a feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and all the other fixings that go along with the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Family, food, and football. That is what makes up our Thanksgiving, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Last week, I blogged about…

Welcome to November friends! It’s the month to reflect on thankfulness and family! The November has brought or will bring a college visit, a 16th birthday, a new teenage driver, a drama production, deer hunting, Thanksgiving, and decorating the house for Christmas. Wow! I am exhausted just looking at that list! This year, though, instead…

The calendar may say October 30, but here in Illinois, it looks more like December. The weather outside is frightful with accumulating snow in the forecast. It’s hard to believe that earlier this month, it was in the 90s, and the air conditioner was on, now the heat is running, and snow will be falling.…

“Why is she blogging about Christmas when it’s a little over two months away?” you may be asking yourself. Because while our lives are crazy busy now, it will get worse as we head toward Christmas! The decorations. The baking. The shopping. The Hallmark Christmas movies (they start on Friday, by the way!). The family. The…

This past August, the movie “Overcomer” was released in theaters. Produced by the Kendrick brothers, this box office hit was a powerful reminder of who we are in Christ. My identity on this earth is nothing compared to my identity in heaven. To go along with these theatrical releases, the Kendrick brothers release Bible studies…

Last week, the deer hunting in Illinois officially began. Half of our household headed two hours south to the family farm to try their luck at filling our freezer with meat. Before heading out for the morning, my husband usually texts me to let me know that they are heading out and would text me…

“So, when are you going to publish your book?” my friend asked as she passed me in the hallway at school. I smiled and said, “Lord willing, I will be starting the process next year!” What my sweet friend wasn’t aware of at the time, is that morning, the Lord and I was once again…

“If she is really your friend, why is she talking about you behind your back, mom?” my young son asked as he was working on homework at the kitchen table. His question caught me off guard. First of all, I had no idea that he was listening to the conversation between my husband and me,…

We take so much for granted here in the United States. We have the necessities such as food, shelter, and clothes. But we also have additional “luxury” items such as phones, the internet, and computers. Somewhere, in a third world country, a mom is making very little to provide for her family of four. She…

A few months after our second son was born, a sweet elderly lady at a church potluck commented, “You are blessed with two boys, in their teenage years, they will eat a lot, and you won’t have any drama as you would have with teenage girls!” I chuckled and nodded at the comment while trying…

Fun Fact Friday
In 2023, I became a commissioned Colson Fellow, and this year, I serve on the leadership team for the online Central cohort.
What is a Colson Fellow?
The Colson Fellows website says it best:
“You believe in Jesus, but your everyday existence doesn’t look all that different from the way your non-Christian neighbors live, and you wonder if your life even matters. Colson Fellows are a diverse community of discerning Christ-followers who know that feeling. Most of our lives may look ordinary, but as C.S. Lewis reminds us, “There are no ordinary people.” Not when we are each made in God’s Image for an eternal destiny and called to live an earthly mission that reveals His Kingdom. Join us for a ten-month exploration of the Christian worldview and enter a dynamic and lifelong fellowship of believers committed to living courageously and faithfully—in the ordinary and extraordinary circumstances of these times.”
Applications are open for 2024-2025, and online options are available if you don’t have a cohort close to you.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
