Conflict? Don’t Make It ‘Complicated’
Nov 20, 2013I’ve watched conflict play out minute by minute, like a sports game, on social media. Relationship statuses will change from ‘single’ to ‘ in a relationship’ to ‘it’s complicated’ and then cycle through the gamut of options available on different networks illustrated by blanket statuses, subtweets and #OOMF replies. On one hand it’s the beauty […]

Lysa TerKeurst | Nov 15, 2013I don’t remember the first time I met Lysa TerKeurst. That’s what happens when you have a heart connection with someone – you don’t know exactly when or where or how it happened, it just did. And it just is. Lysa is one of those women whose smile and heart for God draw you to […]
Read MoreHome. A Sanctuary?
Nov 13, 2013My sweet, creative, artsy, brilliant neighbor and friend Rachel (http://www.homesanctuary.com) is a lovely gift giver. From little ornaments and fresh picked flowers to handmade artwork and homemade sweet treats, she’s knows how to make her friends smile.

Read MorePray For The Philippines
Nov 11, 2013One of the most powerful storms ever to hit a nation fell upon the #Philippines just a few days ago. The devastation is enormous, and more than 10,000 people are feared to have lost their lives in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan. Many more have been displaced indefinitely from their homes and urgent help […]

Bianca Juarez Olthoff | Nov 08, 2013What I love most about the gorgeous Bianca Olthoff is that she tells it like it is. Her words, whether spoken or penned on paper, are authentic; real. She doesn’t mess around. She just gets to the point and digs deep into an issue while gently holding the hand of the one listening. Honestly, I […]
Read MoreSomething New
Nov 06, 2013I need a new phone. Problem is . . . I don’t want one. I’m not much of a “new and advanced technology” kind of person. Just hearing about the next-big-thing gives me a headache and makes me want to take a long nap. I’ve only just learned how to use my current phone . […]
Read MoreFinishing Well.
Nov 04, 2013I think I’ve shared a bit about enjoying fitness and working out, but I would never call myself a runner. Ever. Yes….I’ve gotten used to the monotony of stationary machines when I’m in the gym, where my primary motivation is watching the clock slowly fade away to ‘0’, but running? And, out in the open? […]

Tracey Eyster | Oct 31, 2013I got to meet Tracey Eyster a few years ago and I was immediately delighted. This woman lives to encourage others – moms especially – and the thing is, she doesn’t even have to try hard to do it. The love she has for her family and her life as a mother comes shining through […]
Read MoreHair & Homeschool
Oct 29, 2013I wear my hair in a ponytail most of the time. Actually it’s not a real ponytail – like those cute ones that look like smooth waterfalls cascading from the back of those cute girls’ heads. You know the ones. Most of the time, mine is in a make-shift ball of chaos that peeks above […]
Read MoreMonday Awesomeness (Our October Awaken Recap).
Oct 27, 2013It was… A one of a kind night. Awaken Reaction from Going Beyond on Vimeo. Were. You. There?!?! We were a little bummed when we realized Priscilla wouldn’t be able to make last week’s highly anticipated Awaken event. It was SO HARD to keep a secret, but when Ms. […]
