Hey friends! Sorry its been a bit since my last post – we all came down with one of those winter germs that moves through the house in waves – I think we are finally on the way out of it, but you would not have wanted to read anything I wrote up until now!! […]
I have a confession: I love beautiful things. Colorful landscapes, vibrant sunsets, beautiful clothes, cozy homes, well done decorations, new pretty journals, amazing paintings, fresh-painted nails, even good landscaping – give me all the pretties! When I’m “relaxing” I like to troll Pinterest or Instagram and just look at all the beautiful things that are […]
One of the things I have learned in 2019 is to be careful when you say “I’m not…” or “I don’t…” or “I’d never…”….. Before you know it, God will take those exact things you said you weren’t, didn’t and would never do, and will build you a new identity there, founded in Him, in […]
I do NOT like winter. I think I’ve already written about that like 5 times in the past year…. I hate being cold, I hate being stuck inside, I hate the dreariness of naked trees and brown earth and gray skies. I end up curling up in the corner of the house, hugging mugs of […]
Sisters. You matter to God. I know, I know. We have all heard it a million times, and believe it with maybe a tiny corner of our hearts…usually saying it to ourselves sniffling in the closet as we try on another pair of jeans that does nothing for our muffin tops – “It’s ok, God […]
There is a story in the Bible about a group of friends that picked up their friend, who had been lame his whole life, and carried him to a house where Jesus was teaching, in order for him to be healed. I was listening to a sermon being preached on this story the other day, […]

I don’t really tend to read hype-you-up, trendy self help books but now in my old age, my 30’s, I have learned to read the books that offer Christian wisdom based on experience or revelation. I always thought nonfiction, “be better” books were boring, fusty-dusty sleepy reads until I got to a point in my […]
She’s squealing with delight, running to get me to tell me about the rainbows on the floor – darting into her room next door and then back out into the living room to find them all. She’s mesmerized by the tiny squares of rainbow scattered across the carpet as the morning sun catches the prisms […]
Hey y’all, I’m back! Happy October! If you missed it, I wrote last month that I was going to take the month of September off to have a little end of summer sabbatical to rest, seek God and spend time with my family. I am so excited to be back, but I LOVED taking a […]
