Welcome to my blog, a place to find rest in His Word. Subscribe
Have you ever sensed you needed a time of rest? Or maybe you just needed to reset? These past couple of weeks have been a time to clear my calendar and simply rest. No rushing. No appointments. Just rest and a time of reflection. I truly believe when we take time to rest whether it’s […]
My heart rejoices that it’s springtime! Spring means flowers. And one of my simple joys is flowers! Whether they are wild flowers, fresh flowers, or even the little wild violets sprinkled in the lawn, they simply bring joy to my heart. They are a beautiful reflection of the Creator. What are your simple joys? Those […]
Have you ever labeled yourself as not good enough? Not smart enough? Not worthy? Sometimes we label ourselves with what is not true, yet we start to believe it about ourselves. But Jesus sees the real us. He sees us as treasured and loved. This past weekend, I had the honor of being a part […]
There are moments in life when we face news that will try to shake us, and it may be for a moment, but as we look to the One who is in control, we can remind ourselves that we will not lose hope because the One who is hope lives within us. Last week, I […]
Last week, I walked into a room with several ladies gathered together at tables, laughing and talking. While there were a few familiar faces, I realized there wasn’t anyone I knew well so I took a seat at an empty table. I often take comfort in finding a friend at events like these when I […]

I was taking a walk in the mountains last weekend and while it was chilly out, I embraced the sunlight and the anticipation of spring that I know is so close. Most of the trees didn’t have buds but I did notice that a few were trying. My soul was delighted at the glimpse of […]
I remember looking for rubies on the playground as an eight-year-old. I would search for them often. Of course there were no real rubies to be found in the sand, but there were these tiny, red stones in the sand which represented beautiful rubies to me. So, I would search for them like treasure. I […]
Settle your heart. This has resonated in my heart for some time now. My best friend asked me earlier this year if I had a word for the year. At the time, I didn’t and honestly don’t always choose one word to focus on but I can’t seem to get away from “settle your heart.” […]
A couple of weeks ago, there was an amazing sunrise that caught my attention and the same was true for many others, too (for my East Tennessee friends, anyways). It was so stunning that sunrise photos were the highlight of the day on social media. While I wasn’t able to snap a picture, I did […]
