I was 13 when Mary J.’s ‘My Life’ album dropped. I was an extremely angsty and depressed teenager and when I listened to it I was positive that she had written that album just for me. I listened to it often and when I fell head over heels in love with my husband at Freshman …

Close the Door
When my husband and I got married I realized that he had a terrible habit. Every time he opened a cabinet or door he would leave it open. At first I thought it was because he planned to come right back to whatever he was doing; but, I quickly realized it was because he’d just …
The Cause for Tithing
Eleven years ago my husband and I decided to fully submit our lives to Christ. We made a decision to be baptized and joined our church. One of the first big decisions we made after joining and learning more of God’s word was to start tithing. We went all in, becoming truth tithers of our …
Greater is Coming
Last week in my post Team OMNI I wrote about how I’d been struggling with what God had planned for my life and how although I’d often say ‘Lord, do Your will’ I would often negotiate. Well friends, God has once again shown me that my plans aren’t His plans and that no matter what, …
Pushed Too Far
I was chatting with a friend recently about my latest storm and as we swapped stories on our struggles, she told me there was yet another lesson in there somewhere (see my last two posts for the others). It wasn’t until hours later that this most recent lesson hit me right in the face. At …
Team OMNI
The last few weeks have been INSANE. I won’t go in to detail but let’s just say that I’ve contemplated selling our house, buying an RV, and home schooling the kids while we travel the country. If you know me you know that 1) I love my house and 2) CorlissCorliss ain’t trying to home …
The Eye of the Storm
Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport, Texas. On media outlets it’s been described as a small fishing town on the Texas coast. To the Bunkley family it’s where we’ve spent the last four summers and the place where we’ve created so many great memories. As I watched and read of the devastation there I found …
Sweet Respite
Yesterday one of my sisters sent me a screenshot of a tweet that said, “you have to break, take breaks, or both” by author Yrsa Daley-Ward. I immediately texted her back that she needed to take a break (she does a million things – all good and necessary but a million nonetheless) while simultaneously screaming …
Perfectly ImperfectÂ
I know this is going to come as a complete shock, but – I am not perfect. If I stub my toe hard enough I’m going to cuss. Sometimes I picture myself throat chopping people who’ve ticked me off. Oh, and sometimes, I fall asleep while I’m saying my prayers at night. Guess what…I’m a …
#TEAMBUNKFISH – Est. 11.13.98
A few days before my wedding, I was packing up my belongings from my Mom’s house to move and I came across my ‘Senior Memory Book’. You know – the one you get when you order your graduation invitations? In the section ‘Where are You in 10 Years’ I had written that I would be …
