Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I am Kristina and I live in the Midwest USA. I am a wife, mama (homeschool adoptive and foster SAHM if we want to be specific) and most importantly, a follower of Jesus Christ. I love to biblically counsel and do it formally as opportunity arises. I have been told that I am a passionate person and a good listener. I struggle with thinking too much of my own opinions and assessments and I can be stupidly proud more often than I like to admit. I like to travel with my husband and kiddos. I like to read and learn. I like to write. I like to run and I would play volleyball every day for the rest of my life if I had the option. For me, relaxing looks like going for a family bike ride or run. I also really enjoy watching a movie with my hubs in bed after the kiddos are tucked in for the night. I recharge best by sitting alone in silence if I can find a way to pull it off. I resonate with the posts that circulate on facebook asking you to “rate your inner introvert” and the like. I am a closet clean-freak but you’d never know if you visited my home because I have a full schedule, perfectionistic tendencies and….KIDS!

The intention of this blog is to share some of the things I encounter – whether I observe them playing out in front of me in some capacity, I live myself them in this crazy wonderful life, or I read them in Scripture and meditate on something I think may be worth sharing. It also may be recycled thoughts from someone else (I will give credit), book reviews, song lyrics and the occasional funny story because let’s face it – life is too short to be serious all the time.

Welcome!
