Two years ago today, my Papa was given the privilege of meeting his Savior face to face. A few days later on Good Friday, we, like the disciples a few thousand years before us, felt the mournful reality of death. But unlike the disciples, we knew the rest of the story. On that darkest of… Continue reading Counting Our Blessings, Two Years Later
Tea and Leprosy
On Valentine's Day a few weeks ago, the ladies of Welch College (where I work) hosted a tea for the female students. Each table hostess was given a card with ice breakers and topics to facilitate deep and meaningful conversations with the students placed at that particular table for the hour they were together. After… Continue reading Tea and Leprosy
Flight Delays & Fancy Dress
This past week, Zach and I, along with his parents, took a trip to the UK for his Cambridge graduation. It was the first time out of the country for my in-laws, and boy, did they get a crash course in trans-continental traveling!

The Joy of Unplugging
Over Thanksgiving, Zach and I traveled to Alabama to spend time with our families for the holiday weekend. We stopped first with my grandparents in Northern Alabama before making our way further south to see the Vickerys. We had a wonderful time eating, laughing, and even running (I ran my first 5k after my aunt… Continue reading The Joy of Unplugging
A Girl Called Norman
"Tragedy has struck..." My stomach churned as I felt an odd sense of what those words might mean. There were no details in the Facebook post, but in my mind I immediately sensed at a gut level what had occurred. I hoped I was wrong and continued scrolling. This morning, I stumbled upon the post… Continue reading A Girl Called Norman
It’s Okay to Be Needy
I was recently telling a friend about one of my husband’s pet peeves. Often, as he tries to get ready in the morning, I feel a compelling need to be shown love and affection right. at. that. moment. He’s halfway through buttoning his shirt or straightening his tie, even mid-way through brushing his teeth, and… Continue reading It’s Okay to Be Needy
When God Is Quiet
Last week, I started a book study with some women attending or affiliated with the small Christian college where I received my undergrad. We're going through the True Woman 201 group study, and I couldn't more highly recommend it! This past week's focus was on the need for discernment, and it was a timely lesson… Continue reading When God Is Quiet
Bloom & Grow
A little over two weeks ago, my sister gave birth to beautifully stubborn baby girl. Sweet Lucy Marie chose to make her entrance on her own terms, demonstrating the strong will that had been present practically since her conception. Born two weeks early, she entered the world quickly, screaming, and with a head full of… Continue reading Bloom & Grow
Where are we going from here?
This summer has been full of twists, turns, and lots of waiting. Waiting for the next step. For a better vision of the road ahead. For some sort of plan for the future. And let me tell you, I hate waiting. But after a summer of waiting, of maybes, of "well we think...", we finally… Continue reading Where are we going from here?
