Hi, my name is Brently and I miss people😭I haven’t posted anything really in regards to COVID-19. Partially because it still doesn’t seem real. Partially because it’s affected me more than I care to admit. The reality is, this hurts. I’m an extrovert, an enneagram 2, and I feel called to serve others. Dustin often … Continue reading We’re all struggling
I’ve held on to this for a week now... “The Lord will fight for you, and you must be quiet.” Existed 14:14 “Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes.” 1 Samuel 12:16 “To seek to lead a quiet life, … Continue reading Still.

We're in a season of chaos... Actually, I feel like mine and Dustin's relationship has always included chaos, … Continue reading A month full of thankfulness?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that sometimes Mommy becomes frustrated and I fail to keep it together. I'm sorry that no matter how many times I tell myself I'm going to give gentle parenting a try, I fail and have to start over. I'm sorry that I don't always count to 10 before responding to you. … Continue reading To my toddler, love Mommy
September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, which means this topic is so important to discuss right now. When the sweet Snead family asked me to write about this topic and my family’s experiences, I was so honored. Summarizing the journey my family and I have faced is far from easy but I feel it … Continue reading The Branch family’s story of faith
We are all so glued to our screens these days. I get it some of us must use a screen to work or for school. Even right now I am using a screen to right this post. But is all this screen time good for us, is it helping us live intentionally, or is it … Continue reading Don’t silently kill your family
This has been a week. Actually, it's insane to think that school just started on Monday. I'm sure we are all well aware of how hard it is to get into a good routine that makes day to day life a little easier, especially when one has a toddler. You see, when we first … Continue reading Intentional living requires balance
