A Peek into My (un)Limited Life, part two
Today we will keep exploring Arthrogryposis and what my life looks like / doesn't look like in the day-to-day. Your questions covered a lot and this is Part Two of the series. (If you missed part one, you can read it here.) I'll also be sharing a Part Three next...
A Peek into My (un)Limited Life, part one
First, happy Arthrogryposis Awareness Day! When I asked for your questions last week, I had no idea what you might send in, but I was excited to find out. This was a blog experiment I was willing to try. And I wanted to give you guys the space to share any thoughts....
Dear Readers, Ask Me Anything
Dear readers, You might be wondering what happened last Sunday with the girl and my purple dress. Well, I wore my purple dress and I hoped she would be at church again. But that week she wasn't there. I kept looking for her, wondering if she'd be a little late. I...
When Faith is Bigger than Fear
"Do not be afraid." "Be strong and courageous." "...For the Lord your God is with you." I read these phrases during my quiet time more than once this week. God reminds his people not to fear all the time. We see it on pages in the Old Testament and throughout the New...
The Gift of a Girl and Her Questions
The word for the latest Five Minute Friday posts is "gift". Here is my story. She wanted to know why I wasn't wearing purple. I didn't think she would pay attention to those details. I had worn a purple dress the Sunday before and now I remember we had talked about it...

Living in Freedom
I've been pondering my One Word for a few weeks now. I thought I knew what it would be this year, but I wasn't sure. I took my time to dwell on the possibilities and reflect on last year. My word for 2014 was Focus. I never imagined how that word would really become...
When the Wait is Over
One month in to 2015 and I finally have a few words for you. I can already tell this year will be different than last year. I didn’t start out with unanswered questions, but I did begin the new year with hope. (I will share more details soon.) Last year was long,...
Heading Out the Door, part two
If you missed the beginning of this story, read part one here. I can't tell you everything that happened on the day of the short walk. I've lost many of the details, but I remember enough. I remember the way I felt...the excitement of taking my walker outside, the...
