Welcome Abigail [+ Her Newborn Photos]!
HER BIRTH STORY The day after Mother’s Day — Monday, May 9th — I started having contractions during the day. They picked up towards early evening, so we started timing them and decided to go on a walk to make sure it wasn’t “false labor”. Sure enough, they ...

Making Space for His Best
To simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. – Hans Hofmann In the last year, a lot has changed for us. It’s like the Lord swept our slates clean of the dirty, the useless, & the heavy because He has new intentions for 2016 (& beyond). ...

Are You Teachable?
When attending the Focus Leadership Institute at age 22, I took a Marriage & Family class that made a profound impact on me. One day our professors split the class into guys & girls and gave us this assignment: List the most important quality you should look for in a future spouse. We ...
