A few weeks ago my husband and I were in our bathroom brushing our teeth before bed. “Why are you brushing your teeth left-handed?” my husband asked me. I glanced down and saw that, yes, my toothbrush was in my left hand. “Uhhh…” I paused, trying to think why I was doing this when IContinueContinue reading “The Art of Left-handedness”

When #Love(Really)Wins
I love my son. And because I love him, I want him to feel loved. Accepted. Safe. I don’t want to do anything to push him away or make him feel alienated. As he grows up, I want him to be understood. Comfortable. Appreciated. Heard. I want him to have freedom to explore and learnContinueContinue reading “When #Love(Really)Wins”
Ignoring the Need
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go back to work at Greensboro Pregnancy Care Center for a short period of time. It felt strange temporarily trading in diapers for data entry and cuddles for client files. And I have to say, there was something quite magical about making it through an afternoonContinueContinue reading “Ignoring the Need”
Memory Loss, Burp Cloths, and Measuring Up: 3 Things Learned in Month 2
In keeping with my goal of writing down some thoughts on what I am learning each new month of mommyhood, here are 3 new things from month number 2 (if you missed my post from month 1, you can check that out here!): 1. Smiles induce memory loss. More specifically, my baby’s smiles. There haveContinueContinue reading “Memory Loss, Burp Cloths, and Measuring Up: 3 Things Learned in Month 2”
Why Social Media has Ruined My Life
So I exaggerated – social media hasn’t ruined my life. And this isn’t a post lamenting the evils of social media. But it’s a thought that popped through my head today as I was attempting to spend a few moments with God. I was sitting on our screened-in porch – something I don’t do enoughContinueContinue reading “Why Social Media has Ruined My Life”
Another Perspective on A ‘Positive Abortion Story’
Recently, a video of a young woman’s abortion procedure has received a lot of attention. This woman said that she wanted to share her story with others and prove that abortion could be a “positive experience.” The video follows her into the procedure and focuses on her face most of the time. She smiles, giggles, and humsContinueContinue reading “Another Perspective on A ‘Positive Abortion Story’”
Everyone has a stage
I couldn’t help but notice all last night and today that a certain Miley Cyrus was trending. I’ve read multiple statuses (statusi? statusees?), tweets, and blogposts about the apparently mind-blowing/horrifying/raunchy performance by Miley Cyrus on the VMAs. I didn’t see it, still haven’t, and probably won’t (even though I feel like I already have whatContinueContinue reading “Everyone has a stage”
What marriage is not
After 12 months of marriage, there are only two things that I really know without a doubt: 1. I love my husband more today that I did when I first said “I do.” 2. I have had absolutely no idea what I’ve been doing this past year. Walking into marriage, I received a lot ofContinueContinue reading “What marriage is not”
when good men do nothing
Today marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade. I’ve found myself on the verge of tears several times today at the thought of all the lives that have been taken. I’ve asked God why he has allowed such injustice to continue; and I’ve wondered at the hypocrisy of an administration that preaches the protectionContinueContinue reading “when good men do nothing”
3801 Lancaster
I just came across a short documentary today about the Gosnell abortion clinic in Philadelphia. It was put together by a group called 3801 Lancaster who is following the case. It’s only twenty minutes, so if you have the time I would encourage you to watch and draw your own conclusions. It’s an incredible exampleContinueContinue reading “3801 Lancaster”
