We went into 2017 with uncertainty and fear, {with Gabe’s Leukemia diagnoses} but we held on to the hope that God had a plan for it all. 2017 has been a year of struggle and grief. We lost my Nanny, and we’ve had to watch Gabe go through some intense chemotherapy and numerous procedures. We […]
One Year Later
I’ve been dreading this date. December 29th, 2017. It’s been exactly one year since our whole world was turned upside down and stopped.

Next! Psalm 58
One of the things that I love about the book of Psalms is the honest human emotion that comes from it. David did not hold back his thoughts or feelings. In fact, there are several times when I cringe when I read a few chapters; not because I’m ashamed of reading it, but that I’ve […]
shaky, queasy, and slightly off balance
I’ve never been a fan of change. It has the power to turn your world upside down and dangle you from your feet, toss you around, and throw you back down. For the past three years I’ve experienced this to the point that at times I was left feeling shaky, queasy, and off balance. Did […]
