kate’s room with coloray wallpaper

Just days before our sweet Cosette was born I got an itch to get Kate’s room finished. I knew once the baby came there’d be a ton of other things to focus on so it was then or never! lol! She has been hoping and dreaming for a girly bedroom for years and years now…

Back to school with JCPenney

This has been quite a different year for us. From moving half way across the country to an extremely difficult pregnancy…and now having delivered a brand new baby…I have to admit I’m leaning away from homeschooling this next year and am planning to put the kids back in public. There will be a lot of…

Real friends don’t just sit with you in the sorr Real friends don’t just sit with you in the sorrow.⁠
They stand up with fire in their eyes.⁠
⁠
They get angrier at what’s hurting you than you do.⁠
Not because they’re reckless,⁠
but because they refuse to be indifferent to your pain.⁠
⁠
They don’t minimize it.⁠
They don’t change the subject.⁠
They don’t offer a Band-Aid for a gaping wound.⁠
They say things like,⁠
“This should not have happened to you,”⁠
and they mean it.⁠
⁠
Galatians 6:2 says, “Carry one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”⁠
And sometimes that looks like a casserole.⁠
But sometimes it looks like holy rage at injustice.⁠
Tears that fall as if the pain were their own.⁠
Prayers that feel like warfare.⁠
A presence so rooted, so unmovable,⁠
you remember again that you’re not alone.⁠
⁠
Real friends don’t just walk in when the world walks out—⁠
they barge in, armed with hope and grit,⁠
and start carrying pieces of the wreckage you thought you had to lift by yourself.⁠
⁠
They remind you:⁠
You’re not crazy.⁠
You’re not abandoned.⁠
You’re not weak for weeping.⁠
⁠
You’re loved.⁠
And they’ll carry that truth⁠
until you can carry it again yourself.⁠
⁠
So yes—thank God for friends like that.⁠
But maybe today’s invitation is simpler than we think:⁠
Be that friend.⁠
⁠
The kind who shows up.⁠
The kind who feels it all.⁠
The kind who lifts what isn’t theirs to carry—⁠
just because love says, “I’m with you in this. I’m not going anywhere.”
Where is home, really?⁠ ⁠ Is it the place we s Where is home, really?⁠
⁠
Is it the place we sleep?⁠
The walls we decorate?⁠
The photos on the fridge or the way the light spills across the floor?⁠
⁠
Or is it something deeper?⁠
⁠
I’ve been thinking about what I want to pass on to my kids—not just in words, but in the rhythms of our life. And I keep coming back to this:⁠
⁠
If your heart is anchored in Christ, you’re never really without a home.⁠
Even in chaos.⁠
Even in loss.⁠
Even in transition.⁠
⁠
Because home isn’t comfort, predictability or even a place.⁠
It’s presence.⁠
Not ours—His.⁠
⁠
When Jesus is our dwelling place, we carry home with us. Into every storm. Every move. Every strange season that makes us feel like strangers in our own lives.⁠
⁠
This is the kind of rootedness that holds when everything else shakes loose.⁠
It’s the gift I want to give my children.⁠
And honestly? It’s the reminder I need too.⁠
⁠
Because if Jesus is your refuge,⁠
if He’s the place you go to rest and be known and be held—⁠
then you are never far from home.⁠
⁠
No matter where you go,⁠
He goes with you.⁠
⁠
And that changes everything.
I used to think religion tasted horrible.⁠ Turns I used to think religion tasted horrible.⁠
Turns out…⁠
I was right.⁠
⁠
It wasn’t the Bread of Life that left a bitter taste—⁠
it was the additives.⁠
The flavor enhancers.⁠
The spiritual substitutes.⁠
⁠
The fog machines.⁠
The choreographed transitions.⁠
The emotional moments designed to look like awe, but are instead carefully curated, premeditated.
The buildings dressed like a daydream but are filled by those who create nightmares 
⁠
Somewhere along the way, we traded sacred for slick.⁠
We made the gathering a show,⁠
the leaders celebrities,⁠
the people spectators.⁠

Somewhere along the way the purity of the gospel was made to become fodder for entertainment—drawing sheep to earthly shepherds rather than the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
⁠
But what if it was never meant to be that way? Let me rephrase that—I know it was never meant to be this way. ⁠
⁠
What if the Church wasn’t supposed to look like a concert hall…⁠or a comedy show…or an entertainment venue…
but a living room?⁠
Not a stage, but a table?⁠
Not a crowd, but a family?⁠
⁠
What if we stopped treating reverence like a relic,⁠
and started returning to the wild holiness of ordinary, mundane genuine relationships where life is shared, forgiveness is extended and repentance is routine?
⁠
Worship that sounds like dishes clanking in the sink.⁠
Communion that happens over coffee.⁠
Confession that shows up in the driveway.⁠
Repentance not reserved for altar calls or mountain tops but held tenderly from across the couch.⁠
⁠
The simple church.⁠
⁠
Not soft. Not watered down.⁠
But simple—⁠
less production, more surrender…
Like the early Church—⁠
the original Church—⁠filled with those who didn’t gather for entertainment, but for endurance. 
⁠
They devoted themselves to teaching,⁠
to breaking bread,⁠
to prayer,⁠
to each other.⁠
⁠
No programs.⁠
No spotlight.⁠
Just people marked by His presence.⁠
⁠
That’s the kind of Church we ache for.⁠
Not a new idea.⁠
In fact, one of the oldest ones there is.
