The Strength of Faith: Bird Watching

I am an ordained minister and a food blogger. The combination is pretty epic. Welcome to The Strength of Faith!

A little bit about me ...

I live in Southeast Massachusetts with my husband and our 4 year old gray tabby cat, Lilly. I am a 2007 graduate of Ursinus College and received a Master of Divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 2010.

I recently started my ministry as the Senior Pastor of Rehoboth Congregational Church in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. They are a wonderful group of people who minister to me as much as I do to them. Every day I continue to be amazed at the unexpected grace I find in my life.

This blog documents my life as I try to figure out what it means to live faithfully and mindful of my health in a world full of distractions. I post my workouts and pictures of my daily eats in order to help me find balance in my life. I post recipes as I seek to develop creativity in the kitchen. I am on a lifelong quest to be happy and healthy.

Thank you for stopping by – I look forward to getting to know you!

Bird Watching

We have so many birds in our backyard! I love sitting at the table and watching them.

So cute.

I've been trying to go back and forth between house stuff and church stuff this morning. Church stuff will eventually win out - I have to finish my sermon!

I made a big bowl of oatmeal to fuel me through the morning.

Delicious.

I'm off!

Aw, I love the black and white bird and how it's sitting in the second picture of it.

I'm going to start putting chocolate chips in my oatmeal. Yummy!
