In the last blog we talked about how the Bible says a man’s days are ordained by God. Those verses comfort me when I need to remember God is in control of life, especially my pregnancies. Even more of a comfort is that these verses prove something else: control wasn’t in my hands. Out of... Continue Reading →
Being an autism momma has humbled me in a lot of ways. Motherhood in general has I suppose, but autism does bring in certain unique elements. When it came to motherhood, I was determined to do it exactly the right way. With over a decade of baby-sitting experience, and a host of parenting books and... Continue Reading →

Over the last almost eight years of trying to grow our family, God has impressed many lessons upon my heart. One recurring theme is that Christ is the believer’s treasure. More than anything or anyone else, knowing Christ should be His children’s deepest desire. There have been seasons in my life when Christ’s friendship was... Continue Reading →
This was in honor of national infant loss awareness day. I know it’s late, but we lost another pregnancy, so it’s been hard for me to write. I wanted to post it anyway. Dear Babies, October 15th, 2022 There really are no words to describe my love for you. Being your mom is one of... Continue Reading →
