After my daughter had been in the hospital for the first time and then the second time, I decided that it was time for my husband and me to go to marriage counseling. We weren’t on the brink of divorce and our marriage wasn’t “in trouble.” It’s just that we were having a hard time…
I don’t talk about my father much. I don’t mention him on Facebook, or post pictures of me and him together growing up. I don’t think about him often like a good daughter should, in fact I try not to think about him and the past. My parents divorced when I was 15, and it…

If you read my post from the other day then you know that I have been reading a book and taking a class at my church entitled Calm My Anxious Heart. Only three chapters into the book, and the book has really revolutionized the way I think and I thought it would be a good…
I’m excited to share Kristen’s second letter today with you today! You can read the first one HERE. Dear Deployment, I know you don’t know me, but we are in a relationship. In fact it is Facebook official. We were dancing around being in a relationship for about a year and then the day came…
