October 25, 2020 Mandy's Blog

Over the month of November the girls and I are going to add a little something to our gratitude jar daily— something we are thankful for small or large—to help us regain focus on what is important as we enter the the advent season.

Wordless

“Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.” Saint Francis of Assisi This week I will use fewer words and more actions to live my faith.

Balance

September 26, 2020 Mandy's Blog

“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.”C.S. Lewis I’ve been thinking a lot over the last little while about how we live in both pain and gratitude. Pain, grief, worry, heartache and incompleteness live alongside faith, love, life,… Continue reading Balance

Here we go again…

March 31, 2020March 31, 2020 Mandy's Blog

This photo has nothing to do with the post, but it is calming and pretty and I think we can all use that in our lives at the moment. After graduation I was a little lost for what to do with myself. I knew I was supposed to be relaxing but I didn't relax in… Continue reading Here we go again…

Leaning in

March 4, 2020 Mandy's Blog

I’ve been leaning into my faith pretty hard as of late. I’ve been embracing grief and dealing with so much change. Faith is the only constant in my life. This week I’ve been sinking deep into the meaning of the Beatitudes, the impact of the sermon on the mount, and the cultural importance it had… Continue reading Leaning in

Stillness

March 4, 2020 Mandy's Blog

I don’t think it is an accident that this season of waiting in my life is aligning with the season of Lent. It is a reminder to practice trust, faithfulness, and humility. It is a reminder that I need to work for what I want but that I am not the one in control. It… Continue reading Stillness
