Desire for Food vs. Desire for God

It’s no secret that I’ve dealt a lot with food, I’ve shared a lot about my food/weight struggles. Food has been a comfort to me in times of bad, and good. It has been something that I use knowing that I have full control on what I eat and how much I eat. Unfortunately, food is something that brings me great peace, and happiness….

4 Suggestions to Help Parent in 2024

I think we can all agree that parenting is so difficult, but parenting in 2024 can be even more so. While some things never change, there seems to be much more pressure in different areas than when I was in school! My 13 year old (she’ll be 14 near the end of the month) daughter just started her freshman year of high school, and…

Dealing with Depression

What is my Identity?

Recently I’ve been struggling with my identity. Who am I? Who am I outside of a wife, mom, Pastor’s wife, sister, friend, daughter. I struggle with knowing who I am, and what I am meant to do. I sometimes feel like I’m useless and I’m not contributing to our family, or really anything. I’m a stay-at-home mom. That’s it. Every day I wake up,…

Living with a Thankful Heart Every Day

Thanksgiving just passed, and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! My family and I traveled to my parents house, and it was a wonderful time! It was nowhere near relaxing, but spending the time with my family, busy or not, is always a great time! I hope you all experienced the same joy from the holiday! Thanksgiving has always been one…

Having Patience

If you ask my husband what is one word to describe me the best, I’m pretty sure that word wouldn’t be patient. Not that he would ever mean that in a mean way, but my patience runs very, very low. I’ve always been a person who wanted fast results. I hate waiting for things to arrive, and I hate when things take so long….

Learning to deal with Emotions

I have never been one who could handle emotions well. I get overwhelmed easily, and I shut down. Emotions, especially negative ones, really scare me. My emotions range from all different things. Cravings for foods that I can’t eat on this new health journey, my kids not being treated fairly by friends, anxiety different things, the constant feeling of depression, and so much more….

Weight Loss Journey

This isn’t a typical post that I would go for, because it’s something very personal to me, and something that I’m quite sensitive about. However, I decided this might be one way for me to stay accountable on this journey. I figured, why not bring you guys along on it? This will not turn into a wellness blog, or anything like that, but I…

Relying on the Promises of God: Part Two

Welcome back, friends! I know that once again; it has taken me a bit of time to get out another post. But any parents know how difficult it can be with kids! Thankfully, the Lord has given me the strength I need to push through, and the ability to sit down and write to you all! I wanted to get the part two of…

Being Strong in the Lord!

I know that I’m supposed to go on with Part 2 of Relying on the Promises of God, but I wrote this one instead. Part 2 will be next! I believe that sometimes we’re meant to go through some challenges in order to help others. This week has been a tough week for myself and my family. Our middle daughter spiked a very high…
