Pin It I woke up this morning with so much on my mind. Once again, I was mentally writing blog posts. I have found that blogging helps me process through my thoughts and I can only pray that God will use our story and my processing time to bless you. If you are in your own circle of disorders, I pray that you will find encouragement. And if ...

It Rears Its Ugly Head Yet Again
Here it is 6:15 Thursday morning and I don't have a blog post written for today. I typically have them written days if not weeks in advance. Today...nothing. But, I think God did this on purpose because He wanted me to share what is on my heart. To give you another glimpse into our family. And for some of you, to give us one ...

That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." While I see both sides of this concept, I believe that it is very important when naming ...
Crying with Hope
Here it is. Today. The day we avoid like the plague. What used to be a normal date on the calendar changed to a date we'd rather avoid. April 19th...the day that reminds us the hole in our hearts is real. But, I see today differently this year. God is reminding me yet again that our pain was not in ...

Confessions of a Grieving Girl
Eleven years. Can it really be that long ago that my life was severed in half? With. Without. While my heart fights to believe the truth, my head reminds me of the facts.
