    Contemplating my 20s – What I would do differently?

    July 2, 2016 /

    My 20s? What would I do differently? Everything! and nothing. . . A younger friend is reading a book (20-Something, 20-Everything) and asked me about my 20s. So first – the EVERYTHING I would do differently in my 20s Being single in my 20s felt like a disaster, I was “supposed” to be married and having babies so I could be the energetic, young mother of my dreams. I chased that ideal at the expense of everything else. Nothing has ruined my life more than trying to match it to the idealized version in my head. I wish I spent more time just living than worrying about plans. Focusing on…

    My Best New Years Resolution

    January 1, 2016 /

    I used to make the same resolution every year. But I don’t want to make just any resolution this year. I want to make my BEST New Years Resolution. How do you decide what New Years Resolution to make? Do you give it tons of thought? choose a bad habit you’ve been meaning to quit? or decide to try something new? This year, I was kind of at a loss. Maybe, I’m taking life more seriously as I get older, but I’m tired of shallow resolutions that don’t become life changes. Every year, I used to make the same New Years Resolution – to lose weight. I’m not a whole…

    The Light of the World

    December 18, 2014 /

    I’m a work in progress. I was a bit of a pushy, bossy porcupine for a long time, intent on controlling my world and all the hurtful things in it. Every day, I work toward being different and walking the difficult road to change people’s expectations of me. Christmas is a huge chance to demonstrate a shift in my heart towards humility and gentleness. 1 John 1:7 ESV  “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” My house is decked with lights and holiday greenery, wreaths and…

    October 23, 2014 /

    Want to change your attitude? Have more peace? Experience more joy in your life? Take the 30 Days without Complaint challenge with me! I started taking this challenge in 2014. After considering what constitutes complaining, I decided that I wanted to eliminate all of it from my attitude, truly find contentment no matter my circumstance.

The dictionary definition of complain reads, “to say or write that you are unhappy, sick, uncomfortable, etc., or that you do not like something: to say something that expresses annoyance or unhappiness.”…

    Revisited: My Perspective on Homemaking and Tiffany Lamps

    October 15, 2014 /

    My perspective on homemaking has really changed in recent years as I’ve worked harder to make my heart a home for Christ. What I had always imagined wasn’t what God wanted at all. (Heaven not Harvard is as a participant in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program. As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) I used to obsessively watch HGTV and dream of my perfect space. But once I had my dream home, I’ve realized that God isn’t interested in how I decorate it as much as he wants to be the master of how I live in it. I used to imagine my future home once I…
