Can I Have Your (Enneagram) Number?
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER About a year and a half ago I was struggling with the dead space that filled my nights. Too tired to read, no attention span to get lost in a binge worthy show and no bandwidth to be with people, I found myself scrolling social media. The ‘connection’ I found in social media helped me to feel not so isolated in the evening darkness. It doesn’t take much time on social media, however, to feel the comparison and jealously game kick in. It was …

The Best Advice I Ever Received
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER I want to talk with you guys today about the best advice I’ve ever received. But first, I want to tell you a story… I hated blueberries for the first 32 years of my life. I picked them out of muffins, left them out of fruit salads and passed them up at the grocery store. They looked suspicious to me. In our house we have a ‘polite bite’ rule. You don’t have to finish all the food on your plate but you must at least try a bite of …
The Climb
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER There’s this sleepy little town in Michigan, Frankfort, that’s won my heart. The first time I went we were a fresh family of four. Laine was only 4 months old at the time and it was our first real adventure together. I went blindly as Daryn took the reins on the trip and I had little expectations of how things would go. An 8 hour trip in the car with an infant to a place that I’d never heard of…I wasn’t expecting much. This idillic little town I …
Growing Pains
When I was a kid I remember visiting my grandma’s house for various holidays. Family gatherings wouldn’t be complete without the cousins lining up behind the laundry room door and marking our height on the dainty heart patterned wallpaper. I remember straining my neck and squaring my shoulders hoping that as the oldest cousin I would still claim the tallest cousin title. Year after year we would count how much we’ve grown since the last line up and rank the cousins by height. I’m sure the marks …

Speed Boost
Biking has quickly become a favorite activity of mine. Over the last several months it’s been a major contributor to my sanity. I love the ease and simplicity of grabbing my bike and heading for the trail. Biking has allowed me space outside my house to think clearly and breathe freely. Some days it’s a casual spin while I notice the many different birds chirping and swooping across the trail. Other days I’m ferociously peddling to some heavy metal music to work off my quarantine angst. A …
Champions Treadmill
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER "I like to call challenges the ‘Champions Treadmill," Becky's son Dawson says. "God owns the ‘Champions Treadmill’ because he puts people in that position to help make them a better person. There are challenges and bumps in the road but once you get through them you will be the person God created you to be." Although challenges make life hard, the power that challenges produce allows character to develop. A developed character has the ability to …
