I have worked for 10 years as an RN, and for the past 3 years as a nursing instructor, but my true passion has always been writing. I’ve been reluctant to share my writing in the past, but I have learned through experiences with death and the hard stuff in life, that writing is very therapeutic both for the writer and for the reader. I’m just a woman in my thirties trying to navigate motherhood an

d work out my relationship with Christ one day at time. It’s my prayer as he sang, that my life will honor God with ‘more than just words that I speak from my mouth, that I’d give him my thoughts before they're even out, every ambition, every dream I dream. More than just talk from my lips, cuz you’re all that there is With all of my heart father, I want to give MORE THAN JUST WORDS!’

These lyrics are where the tagline of this blog was born. Someday, I’d love to be a best-selling author, but for now-- I just want to be a vessel of encouragement to others. Thanks for being here!

People keep asking how we are. And honestly, we are sad and fearful and tired of watching someone we love have such a rough go. I do however, in the midst of it all, keep going back to the thought that Jesus sees us, just as He saw Nathaniel under the fig tree. Nathanial believed in Jesus after their encounter, because there was no doubt in his mind after speaking with Jesus that He saw his heart and his deepest needs.

I have always believed that God has a hand and is working all things for good, but he’s brought a new light to this verse in recent years. These “things” aren’t the “things” we see with our eyes, rather what is happening in spiritual realm and the hearts of believers. Cancer isn’t good, inequality isn’t good, addiction and heartache and loneliness are no good-and they never will be-but the Holy Spirit is still our comforter and through it all, he’s working it for good in our spirit and the spirit of others.

I don’t think that my brother got cancer at this time because it’s “when I needed it to happen”, but I do know, without a doubt, that the Holy Spirit is allowing me to see His presence in the midst. Sending little whispers of “I saw you under the fig tree” just like he did for Nathanial so many years ago.

He has lined things up so that my precious in laws could be nearby to help with the kids any time of day. Because it is summer time, I have no work, and he has allowed me to be at every appointment and hospitalization thus far. He has given me a minute alone or a phone call from my daddy with prayer just when I felt like I was done being positive and present. And I continue to feel His peace in every decision we have made and in every doctor He has sent our way.

And I truly lament for those who can’t see him in times like this and don’t have the village we have. That’s the part that feels unfair honestly. I pray they feel his presence and see his hand in other ways. I pray that everyone around me can feel seen and loved even in the midst of crappy circumstances the same way I have. I don’t know how it all will end, but I pray that no matter what, I’ll look back and I’ll say-God saw us, He held us, and He loved us well ♥️

“When Nathanael came toward him, Jesus Christ said of him, ‘Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.’
‘How do you know me?’ Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, ‘I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.’”�— John 1:47–48 (NIV)

Life’s a beach. It is absolutely beautiful and full of wonder, with breathtaking moments and picture perfect views. But it can also pull you under and turn you upside down in the blink of an eye. At times, not knowing what the future holds makes it hard to see past the waves. Lately, we’ve been caught in the undertow and the feeling of helplessness that it’s brought all of us is soul crushing. I can see people checking my blog page, but for the first time in a very long time, I have very few words. Knowing that one of the best people I know has to endure such a terrible disease, breaks me. Not being able to do anything to help or ease the pain Danielle and Declan and our family are experiencing is the worst. But, we will praise Him in the storm and we’ll keep looking for the beauty, hoping that tomorrow will bring a little more sunshine and calm waters. 🙌😭🌊

Children are gifts from God, and in my life, most often, they are illustrators of the truths of God. The truth today, spoken through my two year old baby boy-Words mean very little; actions are what leave a real impact.

This morning, I woke up and my back was hurting really bad. I was telling my husband, and my little man said, “wait mommy” and left the room to go on a mission. He came back with what you see in the picture. A small, flat packaged ornament. At first I was wondering what he was doing, and then suddenly it hit me as he raised my shirt to place it on my back. He carefully pretended to peel it back and smoothed it over my back. I then knew exactly what he was doing. He was mimicking his maw maws daily actions. My father in law wears lidocaine patches on his back and my baby boy must have seen his maw maw putting them on for him. I don’t know if he saw it once, or numerous times, but I know that the action left an impact. He remembered her action, he remembered why she did it, and he acted in the same way.

Our God has always been a God of action. He sent Jesus to demonstrate the actions of his Character. Jesus demonstrated his love for humanity in his action on the cross. And, God’s still here today actively working via the Holy Spirit.

Oh God, help me to be more mindful of my actions at home and out in this world. I pray that the actions of me and husband would imitate the actions of Christ, leaving an impression for our children to remember for years to come 💕
