A few closing thoughts: I mentioned in an earlier post that this lesson scares me just a bit and here’s why: Often it requires sacrifice. You can’t simply say God is enough; you have to live that out. God being enough means making the choice to not let anything come before God, even if it... Continue Reading →
Some Bible verses on the subject of God being enough: “The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.” Psalms 34:10 “When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. Nevertheless, I am... Continue Reading →
A few days after I lost the twins, a friend came over to visit with me. She spent six hours at my kitchen table talking with me, and I thanked God many times she was able to be there. While we sat together, she shared a poem about waiting. It is by far the best... Continue Reading →
If I had to pick only one lesson God has relentlessly put on my heart over the last eight years of praying to have a family, it is the only God is enough to satisfy. I’ll be honest - this lesson scares me just a bit. Anyone can say “God is enough.” I always figured... Continue Reading →

I don’t even remember the specifics of the conversation, or how it got started; I just remember talking about the things I... 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 →
While the overwhelming response we received in explaining autism to family and friends has been compassion and support, we’ve already had a couple people share their opinions on autism, despite their limited knowledge of it. I figured that would come, so I’d just like to set one record straight right now: “Autism” is not a... Continue Reading →
*I’m taking a quick break from posting old miscarriage blogs in honor of Autism Awareness Month. Spread the love! 🥰 “My son has autism.” It was quite the (internal) journey for me to get to the place where I could say those words out loud and not just accept them, but embrace them. I kind...

We owe Him everything. “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died...
