This past year I have really awakened to the brevi This past year I have really awakened to the brevity and preciousness of life. I want to die with memories, not dreams. Which means, my husband, daughter and I will be bicycling 4200 miles, unsupported, across America. We started in Yorktown, VA and will conclude in Astoria, OR by summer’s end (Lord willing, of course! I’m way too nervous to let pride get in the way). My goals for this endeavor include: -Trusting in God for all my needs -Not letting comfort become my idol -Not letting fear get in the way of doing hard things -Spreading Christ’s love everywhere I go -Savoring each moment, regardless of the circumstances -Raising money to help a friend (please donate/share the link in my bio!) I’ll be posting updates of our adventure here and I hope to encourage you. As Mary Oliver aptly inquires, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
For every wedding anniversary, Bryan and I like to For every wedding anniversary, Bryan and I like to share what we’ve learned over the years. Our thoughts this year, after 15 years of marriage... are for the singles! The world will overwhelmingly try to convince you that sex outside of marriage is no big deal....and that is a heartbreaking and ugly lie. Without the promise to each other, the commitment, to be there for better or worse, you are using someone else’s body to satiate your selfishness. That is not love. Only “court” when you are preparing for marriage. Involve your families and trusted friends (who can help hold you accountable). Set ground rules for the relationship. You should never be absolutely alone (that is a gift within marriage). We had a lot of dates just sitting together and talking on the front porch. Just being together was more than enough. Be considerate and honoring in the way you touch. For example, we thought nothing of kissing before our wedding, but when it became a reckless and self-serving act, a boundary we desired to push, we stopped and mutually decided to wait until our wedding day. That doesn’t mean we didn’t make mistakes, we absolutely did, but the beauty of Jesus’ sacrifice is that in Him we are transformed into something new, all our transgressions are washed clean and forgotten. Purity is not about how close you can push boundaries without crossing them; it’s about showing honor, selflessness and sacrifice to the one you love, all of which are things that you will take with you into marriage. Keep God first always. Learn your ordained roles in the relationship. Immerse yourself in the truth of scripture. Do whatever it takes to help your loved one reach eternity. Don’t buy into the world’s lies, or trade treasure for counterfeit. God’s design for marriage and family are precious gifts tenaciously and passionately worth fighting for.

I typically do not speak on the celebration of Mot I typically do not speak on the celebration of Mother’s Day as it can be a sensitive day for many women. This year, I’m making an exception. God created both men and women. We are equal in value, but have significantly different (but imperative!) roles. As a woman, I carried my daughter and gave birth to her. It was the most physically demanding and painful endeavor of my life thus far. Both my health and mental state suffered, but the light and life I held in my arms was worth it all. I finally understood the magnitude of my Lord’s sacrifice. Looking down at my warm, sleeping newborn all I could think was, “That was God’s child on the cross.” I will fight tooth and nail for my daughter. I am stronger than I ever thought capable and take great pride in my roles: I am a God-fearing wife, a mama bear, a truth-speaker. My daughter watches me, so I practice bravery (especially when I am scared), submissiveness to my husband (I struggle to not take the reigns, but I’m learning!) and sacrificial love (as Christ first loved me). I will forever treasure playing imaginary games that she invents, feeling her small, soft hand clasped in mine and praying for her future husband nightly before bed. I have been gifted and charged with a LIFE. What a fulfilling and honorable thing it is to be a mother.
