My husband and I have been taking a few steps to get healthier and to focus more on the food we have been eating.  I have never participated in calorie counting before.  I have done a 30 day “clean eating food challenge.”  Essentially this was a month with no added sugars.  Apples or bananas weren’tContinue reading “Eating Less and Healthier:”

Recently I finished a book called “Daring to Hope,” by Katie Davis Majors.  I have made a few blog posts about the quotes and the insight Katie brought to the table.  I highly recommend this book for her wonderful God insight and inspiration into ministry.  It is important to read books about missionaries with theirContinue reading “Continuing in Faithfulness:”

As I have mentioned throughout some time, my church has currently been working through the ten commandments as a sermon series.  They finished it up this last week with the last three of the ten commandments, “thou shall not steal,” “thou shall not give false testimony,” and “thou shall not covet.”  This was a greatContinue reading “Thou Shall Not Covet:”

I have continued my reading of “Daring to Hope,” by Katie Davis Majors.  This book has really been inspiring.  I have really enjoyed getting to know about her ministry and her work with the women and children in Uganda.  She is very vulnerable and open about all she has been learning and growing in asContinue reading “The Place in Which You Inhabit:”

“I love my dog more than people.”  “I would rather spend time with my cat than other people.”  “I do not like people.”  “I want to get away from other people.”  These are common statements on social media or things you will hear other people say.  I am sure I have also felt and saidContinue reading “Loving Other People:”

My church is still continuing to give sermons on the Ten Commandments.  I have obviously really enjoyed this sermon series.  This past week was over Honoring thy father and mother.  This is the one command some find interesting.  It is a very specific command.  Something the pastor brought up was, “Why is this command soContinue reading “Honor thy Father and Mother:”

Recently in church we have been going over the Ten Commandments.  Today’s sermon was all over Honoring the Sabbath and keeping it Holy.  It is important to make sure we rest.  This isn’t just because of our physical or mental health.  It is not just because of following God’s example for taking time off, whileContinue reading “Honoring the Sabbath:”

This last week was a very wild week as many Americans and even those in separate countries know.  Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot at a college campus while he was speaking and debating with college students, ultimately leading to his death. There were thousands present at the time of the shooting, creating havocContinue reading “Speak the Truth in Confidence:”

I absolutely love the musical Hamilton.  I have gotten to see it twice this year.  One live for the first time with my friend and matron of honor, Izzie and then I recently got to see the live taping of the show at the movie theater with Cole.  He had never seen the musical beforeContinue reading “Jealousy can really Ruin You:”

This last weekend I went to Galena, IL for the Labor Day weekend.  This was a mom and daughter trip.  My mom and I usually go earlier in the summer, but with the wedding and RAGBRAI, we delayed the trip a bit.  It was a busy weekend, where we got to go hiking and running,Continue reading “Nothing But God Lasts:”
