Finding Life beyond the struggles
How crazy is it that May is over and it's June already? May was another whirlwind month for us so I didn't post a lot. It was full of appointments, recitals, and a vacation with friends.

With questions like, Why was I born? and What is the purpose of my life? a frequent refrain, it's hard not to question the meaning of our existence. For Christians, there's often another layer in that. We look to a... Continue Reading →
The majority of Chapter 36 is taken up with Elihu expounding on God's grace and mercy. In comparison, Elihu points out how Job has become lofty in his heart and judgmental of others.

New Schedule This year I've split up... Continue Reading →
Before we get started, let me just say I really enjoyed making today's graphic. For whatever reason it was fun to make. Okay so today I'm sharing my writing process and this mainly refers to writing books but a few of these steps could also be used on writing blog posts, too. I wouldn't say... Continue Reading →
Welcome to April's First Friday Fitness! It's been a full three months of working out and I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself. I've kept it consistent and while I'm not seeing a dramatic change, I am seeing change. I'm feeling it, too. So today is all about going over the last three... Continue Reading →
