We had the name before we had a pet to give it to. Crabapple. My oldest had deemed it the perfect name for a pet of any kind and so regardless of what ended up inhabiting our home, it would be called Crabapple. We landed on a hamster—but this was after months, maybe...
I have never really considered myself a “baby person”. I wasn’t the one itching to hold a friend’s newborn, desperate to become a mom one day myself, entertaining visions of domestic bliss. When I became a parent to my own baby, it was hard for me. I didn’t like that...
A few years ago I wrote a kid’s advent devotional for my two boys. It was written with parents and elementary aged kids in mind, walks through the four traditional themes of advent, and goes through different Scriptural stories leading up to the birth of Jesus. (And...
I have gotten a lot of questions about whether The Space Between Us can be used as a Small Group resource, and the answer is, YES! It can be! Below, you will find 3 weeks of Small Group questions. While there are questions at the end of each chapter of the book, those...

In psychology there’s what’s known as the five stages of grief. They are the agreed upon steps that anyone who has experienced loss walks through. It begins with denial, then isolation, moves to anger and then depression, then bargaining and eventually acceptance. We...
I grew up reading the Left Behind books. Left Behind was a book series based off of the literal interpretation of the New Testament book of Revelation set in modern times. It was full of doomsday plagues and seals, dragons and beasts and lakes of fire and looming...
With the news of COVID-19 spreading and multiple church school and church closures for the foreseeable future, I know a lot of families are wondering two things: What will we do with all this time? Without attending church, what can we hope to do with our kids to...
I have a friend who is working on a research project on women leading in ministry, and for those who aren’t in ministry or aren’t aware, this is one of the more divisive topics of the day, particularly in some denominations. The idea is that the apostle Paul writes to...

Hi! I’m Sarah, wife to Rodney, mom to Asher and Pace, and writer—although I’m still trying to figure out how to do all three of those things. Sometimes I like books more than people, and all of the time I like French fries more than salad. I live in Georgia but I dream of the mountains.
