Let us Rejoice in Advent

Let us Rejoice in Advent

Merry Christmas, friends! As we welcome in the Christmas joy this season, the time also known as the most wonderful time of the year, I know there are also sorrows and concerns in the midst of the joy. No matter what your season may look like, Jesus is in the midst of your season. He is […]

Everything Beautiful in its Time

Everything Beautiful in its Time

Seasons often bring the new. We tend to anticipate what’s ahead for every season. Fall leaves, and everything pumpkin quickly fades away as we enter a season of Christmas joy and hopes for snow. Soon enough, we’ll be anticipating spring flowers and sunshine. Seasons come and go as we wait in expectation to embrace the […]

Never Alone On the Journey

Never Alone On the Journey

A couple of weeks ago, a conversation with a co-worker who I also call a dear friend inspired this week’s blog post. We’ve all heard it, and we all know it – we’re not alone. Yet, so many things cause us to feel like we’re all alone when we’re not. No matter the season you […]

Try a New Space

Try a New Space

Make more space for the things you love. Even if it’s for the simple things like coffee. I was really excited to try a new coffee shop that opened up in my small town. The coffee and space warmed my heart with a welcoming atmosphere of peace. Welcome in space for what you love. You […]

There’s Peace in the Pause

There’s Peace in the Pause

I often find that the most powerful, peaceful moments are the ones when we pause. Pause to reflect. Pause to listen. Pause before we speak. Pause before making that big decision. Pause to seek His wisdom. Pause to take in the beauty around us. The world around us may not have a pause button, but […]

An Identity Knit Together in Love

An Identity Knit Together in Love

I had the honor to speak to a group of college girls last week. We talked about a topic that I think is important to us all, regardless of age or the season we’re in. Identity. Life is so much better when we know who we are. And life is abundant when it’s woven with […]

Weaving New Sight

Weaving New Sight

Spiders. Eeeekkkk. They make me jump, squeal, and sometimes run. Spiders are not my friend but we’re going to talk about them today. We’re going to say nice things though, with a heart of love. (Even though I really don’t like spiders). Spider webs seem to be everywhere right now. They’re all over my porch […]

Turning from Overthinking to Truth

Turning from Overthinking to Truth

Overthinking. We have brains that are incredibly designed to enable our minds to think and to think a lot. If I let my thoughts get away from me before I know it, I am thinking of all that I should have done or what I should have said. Or what I should not have said. […]

Enlightened in This Season

Enlightened in This Season

Be enlightened right where you’re at now. While I mentioned it last week, I think it’s worthwhile to mention it again. We are entering a new season. The new rhythms of a season can enlighten and inspire us. Here’s what I’m learning. Be open to change. Change can be exceptionally hard sometimes. While at other […]

Dreams Sparked in the New

Dreams Sparked in the New

The start of a new season sparks so much hope in my heart. How about you? There’s just something about a new season that stirs the dreams within my heart, too. Before moving forward into the new, I love to glance back to reflect on all Jesus has been for me during the former season. […]
