Welcome to My Journal!

UPDATE: I’ve moved my regular writing to Substack! This is now my archives.

Here on my blog, I love to write personal stories, truths I’m learning from studying Scripture, lessons I’ve learned from those wiser than me, and what God is teaching me through writing.

I’d for you sit back in your favourite chair while the little ones sleep or while you’re on break from work and read a bit of what I’m thinking on these days. Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts of your own!

No matter how many people told me that was a thing of past and I was forgiven, this guilt seemed to lay heavier on me each day. I poured my heart out to an older friend, and she hit me with a hard truth I did not expect: You don’t need to forgive yourself.

You Can Trust God With Your Unborn Child

For most pregnant women, preparing their nursery for the arrival of their precious baby marks an exciting time. Happy thoughts of rocking their baby to sleep fill their minds, along with sounds of their baby’s sweet coos as they snuggle in the crib. But my first thought was not so sweet. Instead, it was bitter: What if my unborn baby dies? How do we learn to trust God with our unborn child?
