Just a fence built on a hill with some crosses above it, but I quickly found out that this hill holds pain for so many in Haiti.

There are certain places that always make me uncomfortable-tattoo parlors, hospitals, and craft stores. I don’t know why so many women LOVE craft stores!I don’t even know where to begin in those stores. I feel like an alien on a foreign planet when I’m there, but at the same time I weirdly feel the need to “blend in” as if I am totally comfortable and just finished my 200th pinterest project. It seems like a… … Continue reading →

God has since brought two beautiful children into their life through adoption. Amber shared in her blog how she wrestled with God over many things during their journey… … Continue reading →

Dating When You Are Married? WHAT?!

Dating When You Are Married? WHAT?! I have always hoped that I could get out of the “dating world” once I got married. Dating can be expensive and time consuming, yet the author of this article argues that once you get married it should continue! I realized that I haven’t been viewing dating properly. Dating should be pursuing and winning each other’s hearts and that should not stop after marriage. This article provided a fresh… … Continue reading →
