We Gotta Grow

“What’s Momma zusing that plate for?”, Benny asked Seth as he went to check on him in bed last night. Lately, he wants us to keep the door open until he either falls asleep or we go to bed. He saw me carry a paper plate through the kitchen in which I’d be using for…

More Than Mindless

After putting Benjamin down for his afternoon nap, I came downstairs and flipped on the TV as I ate my lunch.  Before I knew it, it had been an hour and a half and my food was long gone.  I thought to myself, “What am I doing with my life?”.  Immediately, I turned it off and…

A Year Of Growth

It’s hard to believe that one year ago this month I gave birth to Benjamin.  What a whirlwind it’s been.  Everything we’ve endured over the last year has taught me so much about being a momma, wife, and follower of Jesus.  In twelve months, I’ve grown and learned so much about myself and my little…

Finding Rest

Benjamin is really terrible at napping.  He desperately fights sleep and his naps usually aren’t very long.  Today while rocking him I made a connection. Watching him pick his head up and lay it back down over and over in an attempt to stay awake is exactly how we tend to treat God. God wants…

He Heals My Wounded Heart

About two weeks before Benjamin was born, I was really digging deep into my spiritual self.  Since his birth, over a month and a half ago, I’ve fallen out of the routine I had just set up with myself to dig into His word and seek His guidance.  Motherhood has been nothing short of overwhelming,…

10 Things I Want My Son To Know

Over the course of Benjamin’s life, there are so many things I want to teach him.  Some of these things will take a while, and some aren’t relevant until he gets older.  Regardless, I think these are all important for my son, Benjamin, to know in his heart.. You Are Loved Never forget that God,…

Living In The Moment

I’m not sure where nine months of my life have gone.  It seems like just yesterday Seth and I were saying our wedding vows, only to soon find out we were going to have a baby of our own.  Nine short months have led up to these dreadfully slow two weeks of waiting until Benjamin’s…

A New Year: My Goals For 2017

I’m tired.  Exhausted really. I have recently obtained a job working as a nanny for a little boy (months old). Honestly, it’s the most exhausting job I’ve ever had.  My mind is fried after a short four hours, my body is tired, and every day sounds like a great day to take a very long, overdue…

Spread A Little Love

Today I am thankful. I’m thankful for the country I live in, for those who serve and served in the military, and for my freedom.  I’m thankful for the ability to write and say what I want because I know the sacrifices made for me to do so.  I’m thankful for the roof over my head,…

Why Blogging?

As you may have noticed, I’ve recently started blogging.  This is a hobby that I never (seriously) thought about until recently, like within the last couple months recently.  Oddly enough, I feel like I’ve been writing for years, maybe because expressing myself in this way allows the time to fly by in a wonderful way….
