About


Hi, my name is Dakotah. I am a Christian, wife and foster mother. I was a nurse for four years before my husband and I made the decision for me to stay home full time so that we could pursue fostering. My loving husband works in law enforcement and our home and hearts are open to the many children that have, and will continue to come and go as the need arises. In my rare free time I enjoy reading and crafting but my one true love is my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. After going through some life changes and struggling in my relationship with God, I got the idea to share my thoughts and struggles with others so that my experiences can be teaching moments for both myself and others who my be going through the same things. My goal in creating this blog site is to be a resource, example, and listening ear to other Christian woman, mothers, and wives and to share the love of Christ with women who may not yet know His love. I am certainly not the perfect Christian, wife, or mother as I'm sure you will come to see when you explore this site, but I hope that through my imperfections, God's perfectness is made evident. I aim to keep my blog posts bible based and God glorifying. I hope that if I ever stray and post something that could cause someone to stumble or something that is more worldly than God glorifying that someone will reach out to me so that I can right my wrong. If you would like to contact me please feel free to using the contact tab at the top of the webpage. Also, please like and share this site as you see fit on social media. The more this site is shared, the more people can be reached for Gods glory.


"6So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, 7rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
Colossians 2:6-7

Mothering Through Infertility

Infertility is no joke. As a woman who deals with this myself, I know that the struggle is real! If any of you reading this also face this struggle, I'm here for you. I want to start out by saying that you are incredibly strong and I hope that this blog post speaks to you in a loving and sincere, but truthful way. I pray to have the words to speak boldly but tenderly because I understand just how touchy of a subject this can be for a lot of us.  Just know that I am coming from a place of love and truth and that what I have written this week are things that have been put on my heart over the last few years and even more so recently. I am writing this blog post as a reminder to myself but also for those of you that need to hear it as well. The question that has been on my mind most recently is this, when does wanting children go from being a prayer request to an idol that keeps one from fully loving and giving their attention to God? For as long as I can remember I have want

How to Read/Study the Bible

How to Read/Study the Bible Rooted and Built Up Blog Dec. 18, 2019 Before I became a Christian and even as a new Christian I can remember how daunting of a task it seemed to be to read the Bible. I must have picked it up with the intention to read it a million times. Each time being met with failure only a few pages in. This week I wanted to post a resource for those of you that have ever had a hard time understanding the Bible like I did when I first started to read it. Being able to read and enjoy the Bible has grown my relationship with Christ tremendously! Now when I'm feeling lost or in need of help, I am able to confidently turn to the Bible instead of empty things. Being able to read and understand the Bible has also enabled me to teach others about the love and joy found in Christ. Whether you are not a Christian but would like to be able to read the Bible to look for answers like I was a few short years ago, a new Christian who would like

My Relationship with Jesus

After last weeks post, some of you may be curious about how I plan to grow my relationship with Christ. Well I’m happy to tell you that this is exactly what my blog will be about. My goal is to share my journey to becoming on fire for Christ again and through my journey I hope to inspire others to look at their relationship with Christ As well. Before I get into talking about how I am improving my relationship with Christ, I would like to explain what it means to me to have a relationship with Christ. I know that I have at least a few family members and friends who do not know Christ but are still choosing to read this blog to support me and my venture. For them, I want to explain what it means to be a Christian and why I have chosen to follow Christ so passionately.  I know that before I became a Christian I used to think it was ridiculous  for anyone to believe in God and Jesus and I know I’m not the only one who has ever had ill informed thoughts about Christianity.   It start
