In the beautiful freedom of his love and grace. In the freedom of giving my body to him as an act of worship- scars, hurts, imperfections and all…
Motherhood & the moment that found me on a Tuesday afternoon

Guest Post: How to Reignite the Wintery Soul by Seana Scott
I’m thrilled today that one of my friends and fellow seminary mamas will be writing today’s guest post. Seana reached out to me when our husbands were at Dallas Seminary and we quickly became friends after our first playdate with our busy kids…
