MN to TN: Sweat Tea, Bugs, And Culture Shock

I can look around me and know in a full two seconds that we aren’t in Minnesota anymore. We spent our first five days or so in the mountains with family, then drove five hours over to Myrtle Beach for a short but much needed vacation before the renovating/moving chaos got underway. (This explains myContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: Sweat Tea, Bugs, And Culture Shock”

MN to TN: So, Did We Die???

“I’ve got a blow out!” My heart stopped for a full minute while I tried to stay calm over speaker phone as Derek tried desperately to retain control of the now three wheeled truck and unsteady, pull behind u-haul trailer. He waited for the 18 wheeler to pass. Now, if you know anything about theseContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: So, Did We Die???”

MN to TN: Is This The Right Path?

Oh my word, y’all. I can’t tell you how many times over the past weeks I’ve gone from: “Wow! Look what just happened! God is opening doors and reassuring my heart that this is the right move to make. So cool!” to “Ummmm, what in the world just happened? That was not in the gameContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: Is This The Right Path?”

MN to TN: The Day I Said, “Let’s go.”

So, I ended my last blog saying that although this move is more Derek’s dream than mine, it wasn’t actually him who was anxious, bothered, and losing sleep over pushing it off a year… it was me. Weird, right? Why would someone be anxious over not doing something that they had been resisting for soContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: The Day I Said, “Let’s go.””

MN to TN: Ok, So Here’s Why…

I promised in my last blog that I would explain what brought on this crazy life transition… Why would we pick up and move from Minnesota to Tennessee without a particular job or house currently calling us or waiting for us? One might wonder, seeing as we have been well settled in our adorable littleContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: Ok, So Here’s Why…”

From Minnesota to Tennessee: The Adventure Begins

I’ve decided to try and break my writers block by journaling a journey upon which we are about to embark. I feel like it could be an interesting story. I mean after all… We are picking up and moving cross country with three boys going on 2, 4, & 6.We are (Lord willing), making thisContinueContinue reading “From Minnesota to Tennessee: The Adventure Begins”

Can We Just Talk About Jesus?

Can I have a few honest moments with you here? Can I open up a bit about where I’m at? My life has been particularly chaotic these past few weeks for various reasons and often the crazier things get, the more I get caught up in the crazy and I begin sinking in the mireContinueContinue reading “Can We Just Talk About Jesus?”

Do You Want To Go Away As Well?

Jesus looked at the twelve men standing in front of him, his friends, the men he’d chosen from all others to share in his journey. He’d just spoken some hard truths to the crowds that had flocked to him. What he’d said had been too much to handle and was certainly not popular or acceptedContinueContinue reading “Do You Want To Go Away As Well?”
