Around the House Shower for M & B

We had an Around the House shower for Matt & Brittany last weekend. It was a couples shower thrown with love by family and friends. It was a great thing because all of the Powdersville and Greenville peeps were able to attend and shower Matt and Britt with gifts and love. We had it at a cool spot in Powdersville/Easley called Taste of Distinction. They did all the catering for us and made a wonderful meal of BBQ! Matt and Britt got tons of wonderful gifts for different rooms in their future home. Everyone had fun and it turned out to be a wonderful shower. The only bad part of the entire thing was that Ryan was out of town, but we still had a fun time.


Fall is just about the best season to decorate. The beautiful colors make for gorgeous arrangements. Ashley and I had seen some great ideas from Pinterest (if you aren't a member....you need to sign up...best website EVER). We thought it turned out pretty cute;)

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it
