Each year Eric and I take two weeks to do absolutely nothing but being together with our children. We have learned that around day five our bodies start a full exhale of deep rest and we emmerge back to normal life like a small rodent does after a long winter rest feeling a lot more… Read more

If there was ever a season when the whole world groaned for God in one collective, audible wail, it is the year of our Lord 2026. Political tensions, immigration conflicts, violence, and suffering have swept the world as usual—but this year, they seem tinged with a sharper intention stirring increasing fear and chaos.

The warm light of the morning sun is creeping up over the city and my latte is hot and delicious this morning. The children are playing at my feet and Eric is reading a book on biblical eldership and making small comments on how good it is. I want to carve the soft and simple… Read more

I feel like a real Mother these days since the birth of my Rhema Eve. My first baby broke me into the idea of motherhood gently but this second one had me ordering the rocking chair, setting up a lovely nursery for the first time and allowing myself to fully be swept into the tide… Read more

I’m sitting crosslegged on a big mattress in our living room after a very successful sleepover with Rafael and Rhema last night. The tea water is heating and all is calm, a rare commodity these days. Eric and Rafael are working at the apartment we are renovating this morning and I am seizing the morning… Read more

This is free advice to any first time or seventh time mama while I’m in the trenches myself and the emotions are escalating with the oxytocin and plummeting with the progesterone. My baby is 8 weeks old and I had forgotten how vulnerable and raw and ecstatic and weepy one feels after the miracle of… Read more
