Sympathizing with Lot’s Wife

“Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of…

Do You Fear God or Man?

Since moving to Missoula, life has not been easy. We arrived the day after Missoula County declared masks to be mandatory in all indoor public spaces. We were able to enjoy a few days of our new home in peace before experiencing the tyranny. We had no idea what was to come. The first incident,…

Facing Trials and Listening to God’s Leading

Where has Amy been? She’s been quiet for awhile. Has she given up on her blog? What’s going on? It seems like she fell off the face of the earth! Hey there! It has been a while. Well, let me catch you up a little bit on what has been going on with the Leal’s.…

My Goals for April

Hey there! How are you doing? It’s been tough hasn’t it? I think March is by far the slowest month we’ve had and April doesn’t look to be any different. Isn’t it crazy how life turned upside down by the flip of a switch? I was in a funk for a while and I know…

His Name is Eddie

I’m so excited to finally share about our new dog! He is two and half years old and has a lot of personality. He’s seriously such a good dog and compliments our lifestyle so well. That’s not to say things have always been sunshine and roses though. Like any pet, it’s taken some time to…

My 5 Goals For March

I’m so happy it’s March. That means spring is (hopefully) right around the corner. We’ve been seeing some unseasonably warm weather the past week or two and I’m not complaining about it. The longer this continues, the more hope I have of spring. The other day it was so warm I turned the heat off…

My 5 Goals for February

It’s February. Can you believe it? Before we know it, it’ll be summer time. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. I have so many goals for 2020. It’s anything from reading, setting a workout plan, doing another DIY project around the house or staying on top of meal planning. I want to…

Setting Good Habits and Developing a Routine

Hey! It's the last Tuesday in January. Can you believe it? It has just flown by. How are doing on your resolutions, by the way? Have you hit them hard or has it started to fizzle out? I myself have quite a list of goals to achieve and it’s made me realize that I need…

My Review of 2019

The older I get, the more I enjoy New Year’s. When I was younger it was more about going out with friends and staying up late (without alcohol). Now it’s about goal setting, starting fresh, turning a new page and developing new habits while striving to become a better person. I don’t know about you,…

Using Chalk Paint

I woke up this morning with snow on the ground! I saw an alert on my phone last night that it was snowing but I honestly didn’t take it seriously because I didn’t think it would stay. Well, it looks like it’s staying now! Now I’m definitely in the mood for Christmas music, hot chocolate,…
