Hi Friends!

It’s been a long time since I’ve popped up in this space. Like over five years! When I say that life has happened…there’s so much to catch up on!

And while life has happened, I’ll say that I’ve missed writing and showing up in this space- and I hope that you (if you’re still out there) have missed my presence in this space.

I know that the world of blogging has changed- and that’s okay. Maybe I’ll follow those changes, or maybe I’ll continue to hang out here and write, as I feel led to do.

Either way, I feel like it’s time to return to this space to share life as I know it, and prayerfully, to encourage you on your journey as well.

That said – there’s much more to come. Stay tuned!

Be encouraged! Peace and Blessings!

Welcome Home Baby Ethan!

 

On Sunday, May 15, 2016 at 6:36pm I gave birth to the most amazingly handsome baby boy- Ethan Micah Almond.  We welcomed him home on Tuesday, May 17 and have been on a glorious rollercoaster ever since!

To say that Preacherman, our little, and I are excited would be quite the understatement!  We’ve been excited throughout the entire process of my pregnancy, so meeting Baby Ethan in person has filled my heart with joy.

And yes, that’s why I’ve been quiet for most of the year.

Well, not exactly.  I mean, things got busy, I got (more and more) pregnant, and I had to make a decision to keep the main thing the main thing- which meant focusing and prioritizing my life so that we could all be fully prepared to welcome this beautiful gift of God that we have the joy of guiding through life.

God really used this pregnancy as a time to speak to me about me- my heart, my desires, my fears, my limitations.  I can’t wait to share more of that with you in the coming days/weeks/months.

Until then- please continue to keep us all in your prayers as we begin to navigate this new phase of life!

Be encouraged! Peace and Blessings!
