Are all things really possible? Truthfully, I’m just not sure they are. Have you ever walked into Target for ‘just one thing’ and walked out with just the one thing? I suppose anything is possible, but let’s be real…

I wish there was a way to use a GPS system to find balance in life. I feel like I get lost or take unnecessary detours trying to juggle so many different things. No matter what we do in or outside of our homes, there are …

In case you missed it, I’m continuing from my previous blog on how we can redirect our, “What if,” thoughts to an, “Even if,” mindset. In Part 1, I described how our fears, worries and heartache can make it difficult to trust God and in His goodness....

It never fails. My head hits the pillow and my mind starts embarking to places of worry and fear. Sometime it’s a short visit to what’s in my closet and what I’m going to wear the next day or what I need to pack for trip. But it can sometimes lead to a side trip of remembering that I need to...

Back in the day, when our kids were little, our life was not quiet. With three kids and only two of us, we were outnumbered early on. We always had a lot going on. Sometimes all the busy led to feeling a little crazy and there may have been a moment or two, or more, when I didn’t maintain my composure. In other words, I lost it. My husband used to tell me to ‘chill.’ Emphasis on used to once he saw the adverse reaction.

I don’t know if it’s my age or not, but there are some days that my brain seems to be firing on all cylinders. Ok, that’s wishful thinking. It’s safer to say most of them.

“Smiles everyone, smiles!” I can almost hear the rich accent of Ricardo Montablan’s character, Mr. Roarke, from the 1970’s TV series, “Fantasy Island.” If you’re familiar with the show, you’ll remember it’s how he greeted his guests as they arrived on the island. It might sound silly, but I think he was on to something…

I love to travel. Particularly if it leads to sunshine and fish tacos. One thing about traveling that can be a little frustrating, though, is sometimes the amount of things I pack can look like I’m moving out. Even if I’m going to be gone for one night! Isn’t there a motto about always being prepared?

Sometimes it feels like I don’t see God, even when I read the Bible. I want answers, resolution and comfort to jump off the pages and make me feel better.

Who doesn’t want to save a little time? I know I do! Walk down any aisle at a grocery store and you’ll find instant pudding, instant mashed potatoes, instant breakfast drinks and instant coffee, just to name a few. They even offer

The other day I saw a friend in tears. She was talking to another friend and as I approached, I heard her say, “Some people walk through their trials beautifully, like Jenn.” Stunned, I didn’t know what to say. That’s the last thing I would think about myself…

I read somewhere that the average brain processes about 70,000 thoughts each day. Seventy….thousand! I have a feeling my number might exceed that. Which explains a lot! Not to mention it sounds mentally exhausting. Anyone else?

Hello! It’s been a long minute since I’ve been here! Or more like, well over a year!
I wish I could sit down with you, ask how you are and tell you an amazing story that would explain my absence.

There’s a song I used to love. I still love it! It’s called, “Broken Together,” by Casting Crowns. It’s about marriage and the realization that we’re not perfect, but by coming together in Christ, even when
