I need to clarify my last post. With so many emotions swirling and so little time to blog, I’m sure you realize that I can’t explain or record even a fraction of what I’m learning or feeling. I’ve had a few personal response who made it clear they feel like I’m giving up on my […]
Can This Really Be Happening?
On Sunday night, February 8th, I specifically asked my husband a question I feel came from the Holy Spirit. Kev just started blinking … and I knew. I can’t even describe what happened to my heart in that moment, or what transpired between us. We were already in bed together, so after hours of talking, […]
The Unraveling of a Knit-together Heart
The evening of the 16th, we sent a longer version of this out to friends and family: This may come as quite a shock. With great sadness, we (Kevin & Christina) have decided to separate. We did not come to this decision lightly. In fact, we have godly professional counsel agreeing with this course of […]
Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Editor Go?
Again and again, after I announced the sale of the book formerly known as Undiscovered, congratulatory notes told me how lucky I was to be working with THE Andy McGuire. I totally agreed. (Slight recap) Days before leaving for the ACFW conference, I had gotten the exciting news from my agent that Andy wanted the […]
Random Observation
Putting a two-year old in corduroy pants is like putting a tinkly bell on a kitty cat. You always know where they are!

All along (see labels on the bottom left-hand side of the blog if […]
A Writer’s High!
WARNING: this post is going to jump around. If you have a heart condition or are pregnant, please remove your earrings and keep all hands inside the vehicle. Best news first: Little S**** has been recovered! I don’t have all the details yet because they’re hard to get from India, but THANK YOU for praying. […]
Prayer Needed … But a Smile at the End
Trust me when I say that life has been even more hectic around here than usual. Between critiques, edits, foster-related appointments, and readying for our first conference speaking … let’s just say I’ve struggled to find blogging time. No doubt that in the future we’ll be able to blog from a chip in our brain. […]
Three Great Books … and a Short Diatribe about that "Pushed Envelope"
We had a fantastic quick trip to the other side of the state to see Kevin’s family now that the roads were passable. Right after school on Friday, we whisked all three kids into the Prius and stuck our tongues out at other drivers as we got around 43 mpg at freeway speeds. Cost all […]
Lying on Sunday by Sharon K. Souza
It’s been a crazy start to the year. One of my dogs got ran over, but lived to tell the tail, which doesn’t actually wag anymore. I’m fighting some kind of bug that knocked me out from 9AM to noon yesterday and has me in bed tonight 3-4 hours earlier than normal. But who likes […]
