You are always only one prayer away from a miracle. Keep praying.  

Little changes as we go from December 31st to January 1st, but leaving one year behind and rolling into the new seems like a good time to look back as we prepare to move forward. This is my 2018 year end reflections.

There is such joy and magic that surrounds Christmas time and all that comes with celebrating the birth of Jesus. Too bad that magic doesn’t help with family photo shoots! I hope you enjoy a peek behind the scenes of our family fun.

“I am chosen, not forsaken. I am who You say I am.” (-Hillsong) When I heard this song early this morning, it felt like God was giving me a theme song for this blog topic! We are CHOSEN! Keep that in mind as you read on…..

I hope these eight scriptures help get your day off on the right foot, priorities in line, and a right heart attitude!

Sometimes it's not our job to know why, He just wants us to say 'yes'.

Cheers to real life. May we live it, may we love it, may we not curate it!

I chuckle under my breath as I repeat the words, yep, "there go the homeschoolers"! 

My life may not be perfect, but it is "magic and miracles". I want to be sure I see the magic and enjoy the miracles every day. 

Try out these stuffed mushrooms, sure to please any crowd!

The story behind my 'why'. Don't judge our circus! We are right where God wants us to be, full house and open doors! We may adopt again, we may not. Only God knows, but our willing hearts are ready and waiting.

Tears streamed down my face as I read these words to Scott. I knew all along that God wanted me to take this trip, but seeing how He put these words in my heart five months before working it out in my life was such beautiful confirmation of His love of me, and His will for my life. 

It's about GO time!
