Let it be known that everything I write in this blog post might as well have a neon sign with ten fingers pointing right at me. So please understand, myself and marriage are far from perfect. I have faith that as I learn and strive to change  myself and repent, I may someday be able […]

Through all of our reading this week, it caused me to take a good look at my own marriage of 12 years. My husband, Austin, and I met when we were very young. I was in 8th grade (13 yrs. old) and he was in 7th grade (12 years old). We rode the same middle […]

I believe in covenant marriage, not to be confused with contractual marriage. Covenant marriage says, “For time and all eternity..” Contractual marriage says, “‘Til death do we part.” Covenant marriage happens in holy temples and makes God a third member of your marriage, contractual marriage says “In all things unless you don’t hold up your […]

This week I have been learning more about the Obergefell v. Hodges case from 2014 that legalized same sex marriage. Both sides gave compelling arguments. My mind has been stewing over it non-stop. I cringe at the history of homosexuality and how these people were treated for so long. I  feel deep compassion for the […]

(You can find the picture above HERE, it’s called “Climbing Mother” haha!) I generally write on my blog or instagram when I feel impressed– when something is weighing on my mind. When words start to come, then I know it’s time to sit down and hash it all out. If nothing else, it feels like […]

I had the opportunity to record another song in the studio last weekend! For a long time, I have wanted to write a song for my children to sing… one with a positive message that will help them to always know how important and special they are…. one that teaches them to SEEK light and to […]

God gave the gift of His Son so that all of us can find peace in life, despite the many trials that we all face. This song is a gift that was given to me in a very hard time of life. It was almost as if– holding on to my last shred of strength […]

Recently, I had the opportunity to lead women members of my church in a discussion about having the courage to share your testimony of Christ with the world. This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. One that I try to live every single day. I was asked to write a […]

  “I am stronger than before. I believe that this experience has made me a more able vessel to lift others from where I stand. If you are in the middle of your struggle, whatever it may be… please know that you are NEVER beyond the reach of Christ. He suffered and died for you and […]

A few years ago, our family went on some away rotations to five different cities for five months. We had three kids at the time. Everything we took had to fit in our car. The only toys we brought were a basket of cars, the game Jenga, and one stuffed animal. We each packed five […]
