An Exciting Announcement!

When I began this blog on October 1, 2011, our son, Zach, was 10 years old. Through these years of blogging, you have read many stories about my husband, Kevin, Zach, and me.

Happy New Year 2024!


I face this new year with a sense of faith-filled anticipation. Just the thought of walking forward into new territory with Jesus fills my heart with a sense of adventure and excitement. Kind of like the photo above makes you feel eager to keep walking to see what is on the other side of those trees, I am looking forward to seeing all the good things God has in store as we cross the threshold into a brand-new, untainted year and walk through it with Him leading us and winnowing the path of every single day.

My word of the year for 2023 was
