Struggle

May 9, 2022 by Shay Filed Under: Blog 1 Comment

When I was largely pregnant with my first son, we had a chimney fire in our house. Something had gone wrong in the night with our oil furnace, the chimney clogged up, and it caught fire. We were awakened by a pet that was upset about the smoke filling the house (the smoke detectors went off a minute later). My husband, a volunteer firefighter at the time, ran to see what was happening and to call 911. I wrapped our toddler daughter in a blanket and ran to the neighbor’s house.

My Name Is Shay

John 8:36

My version of the story was idyllic and cobbled together with denial. The truth, however, was that the pain inside me had never left.

Middle School Survival

February 3, 2020 by Shay Filed Under: Blog 3 Comments

I am currently parenting my youngest child through the middle school years, which I think we can agree are maybe not the most fun. There’s a lot of emotions and hormones running the brains of middle schoolers, as they start seeking more independence and making dubious friend choices. There’s a lot of teeth-gritting on my part as I remind myself that my other two kids survived these years, and that we will muddle through somehow.

Sing to the Lord

November 18, 2019 by Shay Filed Under: Blog 4 Comments

There’s a Trisha Yearwood song from many years ago titled, The Song Remembers When. It’s a favorite of mine, as it talks about how connected music is to our life experiences. God created our amazing brains that attach memories to our senses.
