  • I Would Choose You Again

    Mother’s day weekend I strategically focused on healing. It was the first year I knew I needed to confront the pain that I felt. I invited Jesus to a weekend “away”. I wanted to go to the beach but was unable to do so. It ended up being one of the best opportunities for the […]

  • There is Grace for You

    To the one who is walking through a crisis, I see you. I see your heart to give, be present, and be the best to your family. You have a big heart that loves deeply and is the reason why the ache feels so big and deep. Grace is yours. Let Jesus carry you. To […]

  • Stop.

    Several weeks ago, I began to focus on finding ways to be a better steward of rest as a weekly priority. There is always more to do, always!  Around the same time, my pastor preached about honoring the Sabbath. When he said, “rest is holy,” it was as if shackles came off me. Without realizing […]

  • Jesus and Grit

    Crisis and grief change your brain. I’ve studied, taken classes, and read many books and articles about trauma and how it affects the brain. What I wasn’t expecting was how it would impact me in ways that hadn’t occurred before. Somehow I was blinded that it was occurring to me. When crisis came and grief […]

  • Spread it like Glitter

    Yesterday was the 31st. Look at that pile of notecards! Reading these out loud were a highlight last night. We laughed a lot. After the 31 Days of Gratitude Challenge, what was confirmed was that we deeply love and care for each other more than what pain tried to convince us of. We deeply love […]

  • Goodness Gracious

    Why is it so easy to focus on the negative? Step aside for a moment from the poop pile bombarding us as we scroll, read, watch or listen to it. Have you ever considered doing the opposite of what you are used to? For example, have you ever thought to doubt fear rather than to […]

  • Bestest!

    Good. When it comes to our lives we think our plans are good. When life gets rough and things don’t go according to our expectations, we can feel jaded, disappointed, grieved, and upset. Our faith is tested or we blame God (gasp). We look back at the past and may wonder why bad things happened […]

  • More than Conquerors

    As much as I’ve expressed in a previous post how 2021 was the hardest year I’ve had in a long time, there have been monumental gifts from God amidst it all. For this is I am grateful! The gift of Gods presence and His abundance is far too great to describe. I can tell you […]

  • 31 Days of Gratitude

    2021 may have been the worst year I’ve had in a long time. As I talk with others, there is a similar thread no matter the differences. 2021 was a difficult, heartbreaking year for many. I wish that I could say that justice came flooding in and whatever was lost was restored but it has […]

  • He is…

    This morning I heard a whisper. I know His voice well. It is a voice I long to hear every waking moment and in my dreams while I sleep. He said, “I am returning everything to you.” It has felt like one loss after another for quite some time lately. It hasn’t felt like devastation […]
