Where do I start? How does anyone truly tell their story? Our story isn’t just chapters, but a whole book series. So you won’t find our whole story in one post, because there’s just too much to share. Our story has been laced with grief, sorrow, and tragedy and also joy, peace and lots of love.

Our family has faced the loss of a child, loss of my grandparents, and the birth and diagnosis of a medically complex child with special needs all in a 2-year span. Our marriage has struggled and flourished, navigating the murky waters of unpredictable grief, the ups and downs of parenthood.

Here in this place, you will find pieces of our story, and things I am learning as a wife, mother, friend, and woman of God. You will find things we are doing to homeschool our oldest daughter and the ways we are working with our youngest to help her make progress in her development. You’ll find quick and easy paleo/keto friendly recipes I love to make to keep my family nourished and healthy. And thoughts on theology and how the gospel intersects with my everyday life.

Most of our lives are nothing glamorous. They are days, months and years, filled with hundreds of mundane moments. Washing the dishes, changing a diaper, packing lunches, making a bed, driving to work, buying groceries. Whether you’re a wife, mom, or a single woman, you know these mundane moments well.

Life is also filled with extraordinary moments, the loss of a child or spouse or parent, disappointment, disease or disability, the birth of a child, a new job opportunity, moving, marriage, trips overseas or across the county.

What I hope to answer as I am journeying this path myself, is how to live faithfully in each moment of each day, whether it be mundane, or extraordinary. What does it look like to be faithful to our children, to our husbands, to our family and friends, and most importantly the Lord? The answer will look slightly different for each woman, but my prayer is that my words would be able to point you to the goodness of God.

The Old Testament speaks often of proclaiming the goodness and faithfulness of God, the ways he has worked and is working, to carry the stories down through the generations. My prayer is our families story would be told down through generations and in turn point others back to the gospel and the great love God has for His covenant children and our need for a Savior.
