Last week, you turned one. It feels like the fastest blink of the eye, but also like you’ve been here forever. Your life has changed mine; in a thousand ways, I will never be the same. Its hard to grasp all that has happened in a year, how we’ve grown and come to know each … More When We First Met
Last week my brother and sis-in-law welcomed their second baby boy into the world, Beau Tyler Mitchell. For me, it was a whirlwind kind of day as I left work early to go see the parents to be, run a few errands, then head back to La Follette to babysit their firstborn Ben while we … More 35 weeks and counting.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and many of us will head to church. What I pray over you and myself is that we will be ready to engage with our hearts and souls when we get there. He’s a good King – worth singing about, don’t you think? … More Worthy of every song I could ever sing.

We finished up the soccer season, and are now in the thick of graduations, end of school shenanigans, and field trips. Sometimes everything just feels so hectic. Joe and I zoom from one thing … More The Hydrangea House and stuck in a trunk.
Today I turn 25. Twenty-five. As I drove to and from LaFollette yesterday after a visit home, I thought about what turning 25 has felt like to my heart. As one friend put it, I’m now closer to 50 than my own birth. Mercy. Or as another dear told me, I’m 9,131 days old and … More Quarter life un-crisis.
Last week I wrote about some incredible friends God has placed in my life. Since I posted that blog, I’ve been thinking about community a lot. While I stand by every word I said about those precious ladies, I wanted to go a little farther on the subject. Sometimes community is hard. It’s sticky and … More The Hard Community
