Worth the Read {volume 5}

  As disgusted as I am with the recent Abercrombie and Fitch debacle, I also second this post-Why I Can’t #FitchtheHomeless “What if He doesn’t heal him, will he still be good then?”. Love this post at (in)courage. We are selling our home {cause we are moving to Florida} so this post about ways toContinue Reading

Worth the Read {volume 4}

This week has been an interesting one for me. Personally, our family made a huge announcement.  I won a giveaway that will help me attend the one conference I would give my left arm to attend!  God is opening doors for me and this God-sized dream of mine all over the place. I feel incredibly loved and blessed this week. I stillContinue Reading

Worth the Read {volume 3}

This week has been full.  Full of joy, full of sorrow. I guess bittersweet is an appropriate adjective.  The following are posts that have touched my heart and I hope they will do the same for you: I have never read an article by this sweet Jesus girl that did not move my heart.  ThisContinue Reading

Worth the Read {volume 2}

This was such a heavy week.  With the bombing in Boston, the explosion in Texas and personal loss I found myself avoiding the internet a bit.  As I caught up on my Google reader I found some beautiful thoughts, inspirational posts and was quickly reminded that although evil exists, life goes on.  While we mourn for thoseContinue Reading

Worth the Read {volume 1}

I come across many articles and posts that I share on Facebook and Twitter throughout the week. I thought I would compile a weekly list here as well. As the mama to three boys {and one girl} I loved Shaun Groves’ post at The Simple Mom entitled, Parenting a boy, not a herd.  One onContinue Reading

About that extra 21st chromosome

Today is World Down Syndrome Day. Just typing that makes me smile.  My life has been blessed by knowing several people with an extra 21st chromosome. Each one has brought joy to my life, especially Shawn. Shawn has taught me A LOT in the three years I’ve known him. Like the joy of turning upContinue Reading

Dear God Sized Dreamer

You.  Yes, you. I am writing these words to you. You who works endless hours at a job you don’t feel called to because your family needs the income. You who stays up late and gets up early to create time to practice your craft. You that doesn’t speak of your dream out loud for fear others willContinue Reading

Loosening My Grip

Sometimes, when I am quiet in this space, it becomes increasingly intimidating to return. Is anyone reading here still?  And the haunting question always lurking in this writers mind– do I have anything important to say? But God, sweet friends! He just doesn’t give up on this pen to paper call He has placed inContinue Reading

January Friendships~ A God Sized Dream Post

January.  If it wasn’t for my birthday and NFL play-off games, it would probably be my least favorite month of the year. Here in West Virginia, it is cold, the trees are bare, the grass is dead and did I mention it’s cold? January is one of those months when I want to curl upContinue Reading
