I’m snowed in for another day in Ohio. I would be going stir crazy if it wasn’t for the week I’ve had. Today I am thankful for more time at home. On Tuesday I awoke to my 11 month old having a seizure. SCARIEST FIVE MINUTES OF MY LIFE! The moments that followed her seizureContinue reading “Where: Five Minute Friday”

Cookies for Kairos
Serving alongside my family is one of my favorite things to do. Over the past week I’ve had several opportunities to work in the kitchen with both my true family and church family.

Happy Friday! Every Friday I love to join other Christian writers over at Five Minute Friday where we gather to share inspiration on a similar prompt. This week the prompt is Burden. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 NIV) If you are anythingContinue reading “Burden: Five Minute Friday”

This post contains some sensitive information. If you have difficulty reading about suicide or death you may not want to go anyContinue reading “Repeat: Five Minute Friday”
