A thrill of hope {my #oneword365 recap, end of the year highlights, and top posts of 2015}

In contrast to years 2013 and 2014, I didn’t write at all about my one word for 2015 – hope. Partially because I sort of forgot. Partially because I was blogging less. Partially because I was busy.

No Matter What, I Believe: On Broken Faith and Healing Birth

August 25, 2015 – 39 weeks, 6 days I had originally planned to title this post “Strong enough? Finding the balance between female empowerment and dependence on God.” And I’m going to talk about that, I promise.

Love songs for the girl who needs to remember that God loves her

Broken faith: more of my testimony and what God has done (and is doing) for me

Broken faith: more of my testimony and what God has done (and is doing) for me

What’s your testimony? What has God done for you? I’m unsure how to answer the questions posed by a trusted counselor. In the past the story of my testimony has been the “easy” answer to the church-ese question: When did you get saved? I’ve never shared the answer here because my testimony is so much … [Read more…]

Hope: one word for 2015

I started out 2014 seeing a lot of hurdles to climb. I saw a lot of stuff within our home that was messy, hard, frustrating, and unpleasant. A lot of days looked hopeless. My husband was working a low-paying temporary job. We hadn’t yet learned how to navigate the veterans benefits system. I didn’t have healthcare. We … [Read more…]
