I have been desperate for God to fundamentally change a certain circumstance in our life. It has been weeks, months, years. No change has come.
God is desperate to fundamentally change my heart. It has been, weeks, months, years. The change is very slow to come.
My Father is far more concerned about a change in my heart than a change in my circumstances.
I need to become more concerned about change in my heart than change in my circumstances.

Parenting is just so hard (I think I could start every parenting post with that phrase). I feel stretched to the boundaries of my limitations every day as I nurture the little lady whom God has continued to entrust to my care. It is the most incredible gift, filled with joy indescribable, while simultaneously challenging [...]

Many kids enjoy the opportunity to perform in their living room to a live audience. This is a little peak into one of Jessie’s frequent living room performances and her post-performance interview. This one was recorded at the beginning of February. Enjoy!

How do you respond when your five-year-old daughter comes running into your presence and declares, “I’m engaged!” as she holds out her hand with a new sparkling ring adorning her finger? “Gagey, just got down on one knee and asked me to marry him,” she enthusiastically announced to me and Gage’s mom who was standing [...]

I had the privilege of sitting down at a table with eleven other women for dinner yesterday evening, all of whom were gathered together for the express purpose of conversing about Judson’s book.

But interestingly, despite being completely removed from my typical circumstances, I found myself unable to flee [...]

So much of my life changed in 2011. We moved homes, changed cities, gained new neighbors, Jessie started school, and we incorporated Judson’s Legacy. My day-to-day looks drastically different than it did when the year first began. But those are the external changes… 2011 brought significant internal changes for me as well. God gave me [...]

Happy Birthday Buddy Boo! It’s hard to believe you would be seven today, Juddy. Seven! When I think of age seven, I am reminded of my own childhood and how much I remember from that time; so much of who I was becoming started to take form around that age. It was such a shaping [...]
