He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor 12:9 I’m so thankful for my struggles with weight! Through them I finally understand this Scripture from Saint Paul telling us that we are strong in our weaknesses because it is there where we cry out […]
During my junior year of college, I was invited to join a Marian Consecration group with a handful of other students, led by one of the missionaries at Mizzou. Up to this point, I had a fairly consistent sacramental and prayer life. I attended mass on Sunday – and occasionally during the week when it […]
One of my favorite Christian songs is “No Longer Slaves” by Jonathon and Melissa Helser. It’s a song about not being a slave to fear anymore and recognizing that we are children of God. I resonate with this song so much because there was a long time in my life where I was a slave […]

Before I was married, I heard this quote by Saint Teresa of […]
“The one who is willing to be the most uncomfortable wins.” I was talking to my business coach about my goals at the beginning of April, and this is what she said to me. A few years ago, I would have hated to hear that. At that time, I was living in our newly-purchased, newly-renovated […]
“The glory of God is man fully alive.” – St. Irenaeus Which begs the question, what does it mean to be fully alive? For many years this question wasn’t even something I had time to ask myself. Lost in the busyness of life; four small kids, a full-time job, and stuck in people-pleasing and […]
