Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Nearly every night I sing the hymn "Turn your eyes upon Jesus" to my girls as I tuck them in bed. Recently I have found myself going back to the old hymns - some that I remember as a child and some that are new to me (yet written centuries ago!) I find deep comfort in knowing that these words have been sung by the church all over the world and throughout many decades. Anthems claimed, prayed, and shared to draw us closer to Christ.

Hilde’s First Haircut At Wildflowers & Roses

The Road to Easter: A Holy Week Coutdown

Christmas comes with an abundance of traditions, activities, and advent calendars to count down to the birth of Christ & celebrate the season but this year in an attempt to bring my children into the season, I struggled to find anything more than bunny coloring sheets & egg coloring ideas on Pinterest. Easter is overrun by (adorable) bunnies and the message of the season can get lost so quickly. My girls are at the age where they love holidays. They want to soak it up and do all the ... continue reading...
