Bittersweet

Yesterday was our last full “normal day” at Church at the Ridge. We will be “attending” until we move but yesterday was our last normal serving day. Our Sunday schedule has been waking up around 6am (usually just Mark though), Mark playing in the band, me teaching in RidgeKidz Jr., staying after to break down [...]

A Baby? pt. 4

“It’s been over a week. You need to take a pregnancy test!”, was the response I heard over the phone from my husband. “Fine!” I said. I knew I was safe because I had just gone to lunch with my dad and had drunk probably a gallon of water. I bought the test from the [...]

Women’s Rights! pt. 3

This next part of my journey I still struggle with….
Last year our small group’s girls studied a book called “The Excellent Wife“. You could add a theatrical sound effect of gloom….we refer to it still as “The Book”. It got to a lot of us! Although I did not agree with it 100%, I learned [...]

the South

I love the south. I have lived in seven southern cities (most in GA) and will soon be moving to my eight later this year! There is no where else like it!

Give You all of my praise
You hold on to all my pain

“Nice girls don’t change the world”…

We live such luxurious cushy lives as Americans. As I write this, it is early, I am sitting in my warm comfortable bed with my nice little laptop. I am wanting breakfast but I know I have a myriad of options awaiting me downstairs in my kitchen. If for some reason we were out of [...]

but we said “yes Lord”….

I think sometimes I am fooled to think if we say “yes” to God’s plan that all will go well. Makes sense right? I am afraid that is not the case though… at least for us anyway.
It seems there is a war raging in every little area of my life right now. Maybe not a [...]

Called into ministry…

Well, it has finally hit me. We are going into full time ministry…and I am terrified!
I thought it might be good to share and maybe remind myself how we or more specifically I got here…
I came to know God the week before I went into high school. (I am posting more about that in the [...]
