Aida’s Birth Story
Brandon and I had the incredible honor to be in the room when Selah and Micah were born. I was with their birth mom as she labored with them and I'll never forget the weight of the moment when they each took their first breath. It's carved into my memory, and the emotion of that moment is seared forever on my heart. I'm forever grateful their birth mom invited us into such a holy space. So with Aida, I knew the moment she entered the world, would be the same. A ten year longing and promise fulfilled, all experienced in one second. Throughout my pregnancy, I received numerous prophetic words...
Partnering With Heaven
I’m in the last days of this miracle pregnancy and I’m still overwhelmed when I feel my little girl moving around inside me. My belly that’s held her these last nine months is contracting even as my fingers hit these familiar keys.

One of our pastors said on Sunday, “Vulnerability always comes with a risk.” It’s true. For the last six years, I have met you here, pouring out my heart in the hopes that my vulnerability would lead to your transformation. Because vulnerability without transformation is only transparency. And there is enough of that in our world these days, we do not need any more useless opinions. It’s never...
It’s a Good Day for a Miracle {And My Master Bedroom Makeover}
Before we get started here, let me be clear about something…I am no home blogger. I just know how to string some words together sometimes. So warning: before you continue, please understand I cleaned up my room AND made our bed for these photos. And if you look real close you’ll see my iron sticking out because I iron things on the floor. And you might even notice I broke the handle off my nightstand. But it’s been like that for a few years now, so I didn’t really notice until I took these pictures. Let’s be real. So before you start comparing these photos to your house, I just want you to...
