How is the new year going for you so far? I was thinking how a new year always sparks hope within me because it can bring that sense of a fresh start. New beginnings. A time where maybe many of us set some goals. Life can still throw some hurdles to try to slow us […]
If I had to use one word to describe this past year, it would be “resilience.” Resilience. Whether you finished strong or not, you are resilient. If you did finish, celebrate! If you didn’t get close to the finish line that you were aiming for, still celebrate! I have learned so much about myself and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
