Marriage & Ministry – Marriage IS Ministry
I’ve only been married about a minute (ok, it’s actually been a few months)… That said, I don’t claim to be an expert in marriage…or ministry. But I do know quite a bit about both, from education and experience. With the upcoming (and now recent) nuptials coming up, I have been toying with a post… Read More
How My Focus Changed & Why It’s Okay if Your’s does Too
I originally shared this on my counseling blog, but have since shut that blog down, in order to solely focus here. I want to share how the focus of my work has changed over the years, and why it’s okay if your focus changes, too. When I was in high school, I began my career… Read More

When You Need Little Extra…
Welcome to another Monday Motivation Minute. Let me be real for a second: this morning, I S-T-R-U-G-G-L-E-D to get out of bed.

Burn-out & Value
Unfortunately, a lot of us tie our value into what we do. A few nights ago, I sat on our bed and cried after a fight because I just knew I had failed as a wife (just 2 and a half weeks in). I have barely slept since we got married, bordering exhaustion, and we just… Read More
Recent Thoughts
Over on my personal blog, I had written some things recently that may be helpful for some in ministry or helping professions, when looking at things like depression, anxiety, and burn-out, either in ourselves or our clients. As I step out in faith, and grow in the direction of focusing on these areas, I wanted… Read More
Comparison
My love works with a missions organization that serves on college campuses. Now that we are joining lives, I will also be a part of this ministry. Which is great, because college age students happen to be one of my favorites to work with, in life and in ministry. Tuesday night, we were at a… Read More
New Direction!
