Welcome to my blog, a place to find rest in His Word. Subscribe
Last week, I lost something and forgot something, all in the same day. On the days I drive early in the morning, I always treat myself with a coffee from Dunkin Donuts. (Treat yourself every now and then – that’s a blog for another day 😉 ). I realized as I was getting ready to […]
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 […]
Hope transpires when we go to the King. When we take those moments to pause and choose rest, allowing Him to have every concern, hope will transpire. Love from the heart of the Father will transpire. Just this past week, I had one of those overwhelming days and I could have given up but I […]
One day last week as I was driving before dawn, I couldn’t help but pause at the wonder of the clouds. On this particular morning, there seemed to be a glimpse of spring in the air which for me, brings hope. At first glance, the clouds looked like mountains in the distance. I simply told […]
Life can be so fast-paced sometimes, but I love a good book because it somehow can slow things down. Books have been a great place of rest for me lately. I am reading multiple books right now and I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing. 😉 While I should probably […]
Go broken? Yes, go broken. I think sometimes we want to be made perfect before we set out to go as His disciple, but the Father can use our brokenness now, right where we’re at. The framed photo below sits on my desk. The print inside the frame used to be straight and not crooked, […]
Worship songs can become prayers to the Father. When I first heard “More Like Jesus” it became an instant prayer of honest surrender. And every time I hear this song, my heart goes to a place of surrender. If more of you means less of me, take everything. Yes, all of You is all I […]
