Jakob once told me, “The first time your attitude came out at me, I have to admit, I asked God ‘Really? This is my wife?’” Praise God he did not instead say, “peace out girl, you got some stuff to work through”. I have often struggled with attitude. While the teenage Bekah would have justified… Continue reading To Be Thoughtful

As the seasons have shifted, the dead barren branches in our backyard have developed into a lively, green and thick forest. Spring is here and while the flowers bud, I find myself reflecting on personal growth from past to present, and gain anticipation for the present to future. The best reason I have been given… Continue reading To Be Willing

“Be careful, please” has become a top phrase in our household. With two boys, a two year old and a six month old, saying those three words give us the illusion of safety. What I mean by that is, being careful will only get one so far. Accidents are bound to happen, mistakes are meant… Continue reading To Be Careful

This week is all about who YOU are and what YOU bring to the table. In case you had not heard, the world is very quick to shove “should be’s” and “could be’s” in your face... But I want to share with you this... YOU are beautifully, uniquely, and fearfully made! It is not always… Continue reading To Be You

I have a question... Did you have a New Year’s resolution? I did! Here is another question... Are you too sinking back into the routine and have nearly lost that drive you had when you set the goal? I am right there with you. God had given me the word “intentional” for this year, and… Continue reading To Be Disciplined

Every day is an opportunity to push yourself past the limits of yesterday. It is time to live out the lessons you have learned from the past. It is time to work towards the goals you have made for the future. When something is refined, it is polished and renewed. A diamond is not shiny… Continue reading To Be Refined

This week, last year, Jakob and I were embarking on a life changing move across country. From born and raised Southern California kids, we moved to South Carolina. We packed a trailer with “whatever we could fit”, and our family hit the road. This was the biggest adventure we embarked on, and while it has… Continue reading To Be Adventurous 

There are a lot of people in our world. Our world is a beautiful mosaic; every individual adds their own individual piece to the beauty and uniqueness. To be “someone” is a broad statement, but it tends to naturally have a connection with “importance”. Allow me to clarify. We are ALL important. ALL of us… Continue reading To Be Someone

“Go running, get some motivation!” were the words that just came out of my husband’s mouth. While I sit here, empty-minded, trying to force an article, those 5 words, motivated me. Life continues to get more and more busy. There is always something to do, somewhere to be, or someone to help. Where do you… Continue reading To Be Motivated

To be firm is to allow your moral compass to move you, but to not allow experiences to shift your moral compass. We are to build upon a firm foundation of truth, not to constantly build new foundations. When you are tested, you must stand firm in what you believe in and what you have… Continue reading To Be Firm
