How I set goals nowadays is drastically different than how I did when I was "healthy" or "able-bodied" if you want to put a label on it. When I became house/hospital bound, stopped being able to drive, and using a wheelchair in 2017, I gave up on goal setting. It hurt too much to set … Continue reading Goal Planning with Chronic Illness
It's FINALLY fall! Yet before we jump into the crunchy leaves October brings, let's talk about September. One of my greatest hopes for this past month was to find our "new normal" as Jared and I adjusted to his new job. I am happy to report that we are settling in nicely to our new … Continue reading October Tending List
For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.Psalm 66:10-12 In … Continue reading Fall Refresh
I can't believe that we are preparing for fall! I did not expect August to be a month of transition when I wrote my tending list. There was some craziness in the beginning as Caitie left for preseason at GWU, Stephen was competing in the USA Triathlon Nationals, we had Foxy for the week, and … Continue reading September Tending List
Happy August Friends!

My time with God has drastically changed over the … Continue reading How to Cultivate a Joyful Daily Devotional Time
Happy July Friends! I am kicking off the new month on vacation with Jared's family. I am excited to say that since the summer refresh I am actually changing some of my weekly and daily goals up a bit! Before we jump into July I want to reflect on June's tending list.

Happy Summer Friends! He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.John 15:2 NIV As I approached another #powersheet goal refresh, I felt like I really discouraged. Right now I am in the process of grieving over a huge … Continue reading Summer Refresh
I can't believe it is already June, but before we look ahead I want to look back at May. All the lines in my powersheets were full, but there were some unexpected road blocks that popped up... and not everything was accomplished as you can see below. (If you are new to powersheets and want … Continue reading June Tending List
Well last month was crazy! If you remember my April tending list was FULL and I didn't know how that would go, so to update you all of my monthly goals and weekly goals were met (well 1 week I missed 1 weekly goal.) I was so proud of myself for accomplishing all of that, … Continue reading May Tending List
