What was your first year of marriage like? I’ll never forget the shock of reality hitting Caleb and me in our first year of marriage when we both realized that we defined what a wife is and what she does for her husband differently. Obviously, we both brought different upbringings to our marriage, with different assumptions of

How often do you share prayer requests with others? I went to a prayer meeting tonight and I noticed that lately I’m avoiding asking other people to pray for me.

Why is it so frustrating to not be in control? If you’re anything like me, the current status of things is a little less desirable than where I would prefer them to be. And by a little, I mean massively. My routine day-to-day rhythms have not been earth-shatteringly different than they were before coronavirus. My

I really enjoy writing about subjects that I am working through or topics that I am currently dealing with. Prayer is absolutely one of those things that I keep coming back to and continue to wrestle with. I know it is something I will never perfect but I also know that I need to keep
