We’re excited for season two of the Our Labor’s of Love Podcast! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music. Over the course of season 2, we’ll be reading books that focus on either family, faith, or parenting. And, in reality, most books are a combination of all three. In each episode, we’ll discuss the […]

Podcast Season 2: Episode 1: Book Club!

I need to invite the Holy Spirit and God in daily and give up control of my plans and my days and allow them to remove some of the things I’ve added to my own plate that are unnecessary. I need them to remove the extra distractions that are not helping me accomplish the purposes He has for me right now. Things that may be really good things, but they just aren’t the right things for us this year.

New Year, New Rhythm

When it comes to following Jesus, sometimes we assume the experience should be similar to a lazy river ride: relaxed, peaceful, minimal to no disturbance. When we read the Bible, though, we see the actual experience is far different. In reality, it’s much more like whitewater rafting. In this week’s sermon, I work my way […]

Hey guys! Happy week 6 of One Room Challenge! I was having some trouble with my blog the past couple weeks so I’m playing catch up with the updates! I finally got week 4 up and over there I’ve got all of the paint info for you. The past two weeks have felt pretty slow […]

Hey friends! The third week of One Room Challenge is complete and this week was a big one for us! If you need to catch up, here’s week one and week two! I started working on the wall treatment in the boys room which is something I’ve been really excited about since back in November. […]

We’re on week two of the One Room Challenge and things are moving along! If you haven’t check out my post with my plans for this room, you can read that here! This past week, I focused on finishing up the floors in the boys room! We had a little bit of sanding left to […]

Week 2 | Spring 2021 ORC | Floors

Hey! Maddie, here. I’m participating in the Spring 2021 One Room Challenge! We set a pretty ambitious (and maybe impossible?) goal to move into the house in June. We still have a TON of work to do to make it livable and we have zero expectations of the house being “done” when we move in […]

Week 1 | Spring 2021 ORC | Boys Room

Prayer is the weapon by which the weakness of the flesh is defeated and the willingness of the Spirit wins.

Obedience and the Necessity of Prayer

I thought it would be fun to share a round up of things I loved last month! So, here goes nothing! Listen Hey It’s The Luskos Podcast – I started at the beginning and have really enjoyed every episode. This is one that will probably make you laugh and maybe cry in the same episode. […]
