God Our Father

Becoming a parent has made me see God as our Father in a deeper way. Cece looks to John and I to have her needs met and to be loved and comforted, as she should. Last night, John and I were looking at her and he said, “I don’t think…

Abide

There’s something special about being a mama. The way she is comforted cuddled up against me, does it remind her of my womb? The way she recognizes my voice and laugh, could she hear me when she was inside me? The way she smiles when I kiss her, did she…

On Slowing Down

Inaction in the face of a growing to-do list is difficult for me. Resting when there are “things to be done” feels guilt-inducing. I like feeling accomplished, checking things off, getting everything done. There are times when, in spite of the to-do list, we need to take a pause. Resting…

Cecelia’s Birth

After ten long days past my due date, I came in for an induction on Tuesday August 30th. When we got to the hospital, I was barely 1cm dilated and was only having mild and sporadic contractions. Around 1pm I received my first dose of Cytotec with the goal of…

Past Your Due Date: A letter to my daughter

My daughter, Oh how I impatiently await your arrival. For months now, “August 20th” has been on my calendar as the day I may finally meet you. August 20th has now come and gone, and yet I still haven’t gotten to hold you yet or kiss your face. …

Barrenness

Recently, I’ve been thinking about what it means to be barren. Obviously, “barren” means infertile or a woman who cannot have children. In the Bible, there are many stories centered around a barren woman. It clearly is more significant than just infertility. In the society of Bible times, bearing children…

Holy Ground

The entire Bible tells the story of God rescuing his people again and again, and we are a part of that story too. I was re-reading Exodus which is a tangible example of God rescuing his people. The story of the burning bush stuck out to me. At the burning…

Curious, Not Condemning

Be curious instead of condemning with yourself. A therapist on a podcast I listen to said this and man, has it stuck with me. Curiosity allows for growth (this is not the “self love” the world pushes, or acceptance of unhealthy patterns) in a safe space. …

Contentment, Planning, Purpose

I like to plan things…to a fault. It’s definitely a strength. I’m always looking ahead, planning for the next step, setting and working towards goals, thinking long term. It’s also a weakness. I struggle to live in the moment. I feel stressed when plans fall through (which happens more than…
