Refilling My Cup with Grace

Refilling My Cup with Grace

Picture your favorite coffee mug. Or imagine the one you decided not to get at TJ Maxx because you realize you already have so many and don’t need another one, right? Beyond your favorite coffee mug filled with coffee or hot tea first thing in the morning, what fills your cup? Maybe it’s filled with […]

He will Catch You

He will Catch You

I will always remember one summer afternoon, I was sitting on the edge of the pool and there was a little girl, probably about seven or eight years old.  She had her goggles on and was ready to jump in. But I think this was her first time jumping in because she wouldn’t jump.  You […]

Running After His Goodness

Running After His Goodness

The goodness of God is always something we can be so grateful for. A friend text the song Goodness of God earlier this week and it’s been on repeat on my playlist every day. It’s become my heart’s song and I can’t help to reflect here today on the goodness of our God. I love […]

Becoming a Better You

Becoming a Better You

Do you ever stop and pause to do something just for yourself? Maybe it’s usually not a priority because you either feel selfish or you simply don’t think you have the time. Taking some time out for yourself though will make you so much better in so many ways. If you’re constantly on the go […]

What is True

What is True

Do you ever second guess? I know I do more often than I would like and maybe you can relate. As I was reading Genesis 3 the other day, I realized that Eve second guessed, too. The father of lies planted seeds of doubt in Eve’s mind as he asked her the question, “Did God […]

Reason to Grow

Reason to Grow

We just planted trees in our yard a few weeks ago. Forty of them! It really didn’t take that long to plant them but it does take some time to water them. They have to be watered every other day so I have to be intentional about watering them because I want them to live. […]

Pages of Your Heart

Pages of Your Heart

Something I find so special and sacred is that only the Father can truly see my heart. Even when we are real to others as we share our stories, the One within us – our Creator and Savior – is the only One who truly sees our entire heart, the complete picture. Even when we […]

Just Rest

Just Rest

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 […]

Simple Joys

Simple Joys

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 […]

The True You

The True You

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 […]
