Christmas/Advent, Life Rhythms
This is probably the weirdest week in the year. It’s that awkward week between Christmas and New Year’s. People are still traveling and spending copious amounts of time with family. The business world is not quite back to normal. If your week is anything like mine, you’ve spent the last couple of days mostly lying around and eating as you …

On Friday, I turned 30. I am now officially thirty, flirty, and thriving. Well, I’m at least thirty and still flirty with my husband. Sometimes I wonder about the thriving part. Don’t we all? Birthdays are one of those times where you both celebrate, wonder, and sometimes mourn. Let’s Celebrate I’m excited that I have friends to with celebrate this …

I’m mad right now. Summer has very clearly turned to fall and, to be honest, I’m not pleased about it one bit. We’ve had a fairly cool summer here in Oregon so I feel like I got cheated out of the season a little. There are still so many summery things I want to do. My husband and I still …

For a lot of people that might mean making a goal list, deciding on a New Year’s Resolution, or starting a new habit or hobby. It’s good for us to think ahead and to think of …

In some ways, this a totally random and pointless post, but I think it’s important because maybe you’ve had some weird birthday experiences too. Last Thursday was my 29th birthday. Twenty-nine seems way older than 28 for some reason. I think it’s just that much closer to 30. Regardless, I had fairly low expectations for the day. I feel like …

Last week’s post was all about life rhythms, that they’re a something that God uses for our good. Even though we should embrace whatever season we’re in right now, it’s okay for us to long for something more, especially in the face of disappointment. In reality, until we get to heaven, we’re always going to be longing for something more. …

Last week’s blog post was all about the things I think graduates should know. Let’s be real though, graduates aren’t the only ones going through life transitions right now. The truth is that our lives are always in flux. We’re continually in the process of beginning and ending different seasons of our lives. While life can sometimes seem monotonous, …

May and June are big graduation months. I’ve seen a fair share of graduations in my social media feeds the last couple of weeks and I’m sure you have too. I even went to my own sister’s graduation at the beginning of May (which was hilarious, by the way, the speaker drank a beer on stage and the people in …
