barefoot motherhood

“He thinks only of what he wants and he does not ask himself whether he ought to want it.” -Bernard Of Clairvaux   There is rich beauty in our mundane, normal, ordinarily insignificant lives. I recently received a call from a friend who had worked ever so diligently toward a huge goal. She entered her name…

boasting in weakness…

It very well could be that one of the best reasons to start a blog is the constant reminder and accountability that I’ve made it known to the world I am determined to speak about my own imperfection to be a living testament of God’s grace. My goal is to consistently speak of my own imperfection hidden in…

The Princess Turns Double Digits

  Our little princess has just turned 10! I can hardly believe it! People used to always tell me that I should enjoy these little years because the time just flies by…and they were exactly right! I love to watch her grow but it is unbelievably hard too…I just want to bottle up as many…

the best gift: awake again at 3 a.m.

Why Am I Awake? Last night, like so many nights of late, I woke up while it was still dark. I quickly ran through the mental checklist. What’s wrong with me? Am I sick? Is it too hot? Too cold? Did I hear something? Is it too bright? Are the kids okay? For the love………….what…

15 confessions from a pastor’s wife

I’m only one wife to one pastor. And since it’s safe to assume that every single pastor’s wife is different from the next, it is clear I cannot in any way write this for the whole lot of us out there. I honestly believe there could be way more we pastor wives have in common than…

Terrible “Twos” (Part 1)

The Beginning… You’ve endured months of morning sickness, a pregnancy that has left your body forever changed, barely survived a painful, traumatic delivery…you’ve fumbled through breastfeeding, figured out sleep schedules, made the tough call on whether or not to vaccinate, could describe in detail every baby product on the market and figured out how to…

Day 3 at Glorieta 📸🛴🌺🔥 We started the Day 3 at Glorieta 📸🛴🌺🔥

We started the day with breakfast and family photos—and with pink and purple flowers blooming everywhere and mountain views in every direction, it felt like we were stepping straight into a postcard.

After lunch, the big kids, Matt and I got to ride giant scooters down a mountain (and let’s just say… that may end up being their highlight of the week). 

Then we cleaned up and dressed up for luau night! There was Italian ice, limbo, and laughter all around—but the real fun kicked off with the family relay competition.

Team PINK (that’s us 💗) gave it everything we had. Matt hit a bullseye in corn hole and memorized part of a book of the Bible, then passed the pool noodle baton to Canon, who leapt into the lake and climbed the lily pads. 

Next was Kate and me—Kate blindfolded on a paddleboard while I guided her across the lake. She absolutely crushed it!

From there, it was one wild adventure after another: a race to the giant airbag jump, a speedy waterslide for Crew, a blob launch for Kai and Corban, and a full-on footrace (thanks to our track star, Kai!) to unscramble a Bible verse. 

And… PINK TEAM WON! Our camp guide, Claire (who we adore), told us it was her first-ever family win!

We finished the night with s’mores around the fire, sticky fingers, and incredibly full hearts.

One thing we’ve loved about Glorieta is how it reminds us that loving one another doesn’t happen in a rush. Connecting as a family happens with slowing down, around campfires and among the pine trees. In shared laughs, team challenges, and intentional devotional time. 

This is the kind of purposeful, joy-filled living we want more of. The kind that brings families together. 

Thank you to Glorieta for creating such an incredible environment for families to connect.

Day 2 at Glorieta 🌲🎯🐰 We woke up to moun Day 2 at Glorieta 🌲🎯🐰

We woke up to mountain air and breakfast in NM Hall, then hopped on the red shuttle truck affectionately named Clifford to kick off the day. Archery and slingshots started us off strong (no one lost an eye—success!), followed by a hike, bunny snuggles, and stick races in the river.

From corn hole and connect four, to hammocks and water pumps, to ping pong and football in the commons… the kids were everywhere and loving every minute. Worship was one of my favorite parts of the day—open windows, mountain breezes, and voices singing truth into the warm summer air. 

The teaching and family devo stirred up some beautiful conversations, and we began creating our family seal with string art (I LOVED this idea!)

Later, Matt and I had a sweet little date night, followed by fireside time for the guys and a painting class for the ladies. Dessert? A cherry crumble baked in cast iron skillets over the fire—yes, please. 

And just when we thought the night was winding down, the “snow hill” surprised us all… not snow, but soap and sprinklers! We laughed, sledded, and squealed like little kids in the middle of July.

I can’t say enough about how intentional the Glorieta staff has been. Every detail is thought through—from the big things down to the tiniest touches. 

This place makes rest easy for families. It’s simple and spacious, with something for every age—from babies to teens to adults.

So grateful for this sacred little slice of summer.

First Day at Glorieta 🌄 We’ve always dreamed First Day at Glorieta 🌄

We’ve always dreamed of doing a family camp—and this summer, with it being Kate’s last one before college, we knew the time was now.

This video is from our first full day at Glorieta, and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. 

The mountains took our breath away, the green fields felt like a deep exhale, and wildflowers lined the path like lovely little reminders of God’s grace, beauty and joy.

The staff greeted us with genuine kindness, helped us get checked in, and even gave us a welcome bag filled with snacks and a handwritten note. 

Already our family is loving it here—and after tonight’s color war kickoff (yes, I wore a shower cap under my bandana to protect the hair 😄 (@austen.thelightcollective you’d be so proud of me for keeping my hair safe), we’re all in. The food has been great, the activities a blast and the devotional time so refreshing. 

And yet, our hearts are still tethered to South Texas. The loss of so many young campers due to the recent flooding has left a deep ache. We are continuing to hold those families in our hearts this week as we step into this gift of time together—grateful, sobered, and present.

May we never take these moments for granted.
Every breath, every laugh, every mountain view… it’s all grace, none of it deserved.

As a mama just hearing that a child is missing is As a mama just hearing that a child is missing is enough to undo you. Because once you’ve held your own baby in your arms, you know. 

You know the wild love. 

The fear. 

The desperate prayers. 

The feeling of your heart walking around outside your body.

The loss of these families is all too much to bear.

The ache of not being able to protect them.

The breathless panic.

The helplessness when you’d do anything—anything—but can’t do a thing.

I cannot stop thinking of the moms and dads who are aching. Hurting. Longing. 
I weep with them.

Lord, be near.
Wrap them in Your love.
O Jesus, hold them.
