Equipping Women to Live a Set Apart Life
Marriages crumble apart. Disease strikes yet again. Depression and anxiety overtakes once joyful friends. Brokenness is everywhere. Seeing the brokenness of others weighs heavy on my heart because I know how it feels…like a piece of me fell off and now lies shattered on the ground. I examine the broken pieces over and over again, […]
I hit publish on 6 posts and considered the hard part over; but making my blog live created more work than I anticipated. My to-do list grew out of control, full of “must do” tasks for a blogger. Being completely wrapped up in the blogging world, it didn’t take long for me to start constantly […]
Can I tell you a little secret about my blog’s tagline: Seeking the Life God Intended? I wrote it unsure what “the life God intended” really meant (hence, why it says “seeking” and not “living”). I wanted a life full of joy. A life only found when we align ourselves with God’s will. But I […]
I stood at the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek in Phnom Penh reading an information board: “Duch was found guilty of crimes against humanity relating to the torture and deaths of about 15,000 people.” As I stood there appalled at the magnitude of such a number, these words passed through my thoughts, “it is all […]
I have a love hate relationship with Facebook. I love keeping up with friends and family. I love how easy it is to watch their lives develop and know what is going on without much effort on my end to actually keep in touch. But then there are days when scrolling through my Facebook feed […]

What’s the worst that can happen? This question flies through my head on an almost daily basis. Except I don’t actually think this question, so much as answer it. Whenever I am given a situation, I immediately think of what could go wrong. It is just the way my brain works. For example: One day, […]
As a first time mom, I spend a lot of time reading baby books trying to learn the “right” things to do. I read advice on eating and sleeping routines to achieve peaceful nights. I learned activities to help her reach developmental milestones, and what foods to introduce at what age. If something sounded beneficial […]
As a teenager, I moved to California with my mom and sister. Since we didn’t have any family nearby, a lady from our church invited us into her family for Christmas Eve dinner. It was a family celebration. I remember the woman’s mom being there, and her grown children; probably around 8 of her family […]
Do you ever have days when you can’t do anything right? Days where one little thing after another piles up on top of each other until you want to go back to bed and start over? I do. I run late for an appointment, I drop something and it breaks, I overcook lunch and […]
