It is interesting how God orchestrates our lives. Those times He delays an arrival, gives us a nudge to change a reservation, or perhaps encourages us to make the call. Since the day of our birth, God has worked within the things we consider

Anyone new to homeschooling out there? Too soon to joke? This has probably been a pretty stressful few weeks for you getting thrown into the deep end like this. I’m hopefully here to help but not as an expert; otherwise my Grit and Grace

I’ve felt so scattered lately. Do you know the feeling? Not being able to focus on a task and finish it? School has been shut down for at least 3 weeks, restaurants have shut their doors, we are only to gather in groups less
Instagram is filled with inspiring women, both “famous” and not, who are being brave and sharing their stories and encouragement with the online community. In a world that is telling us to be one way, it is beautiful to see women stand up and
