I Have A New Book On The Way!

If you’re new here, welcome! If you’ve been here for a while, thank you. I have had fewer blog posts lately because I have been creating a devotional book from the blog for all my reading friends. I am so excited to share that it will be here soon. I have shared my heartfelt reflections, […]

What It Really Means To Trust When You Cannot See

What It Really Means To Trust When You Cannot See

Something about the vast open space of the sky can shift my focus from the crowded thoughts in my mind. On an early morning drive well before dawn, I was captivated by the quarter moon shining in the cold, dark morning sky, accompanied by a single twinkling star. I couldn’t help but reflect that even […]

Remembering a Faithful Friend

Remembering a Faithful Friend

Today, I honor a friend, Kay McDaniel, who now makes heaven her home. Has God placed people on your path that are treasured gems? Kay was one of those friends for me, and I am making space on the blog today to reflect on a woman who was a gem to me and so many […]

Make It A Spacious Season

Make It A Spacious Season

It’s a busy season for most, with Christmas festivities in the mix of everyday routines. Many are gathering together, and the crowds are evident all around. As many reflect on Advent, we’re reminded of the hope and love of a Savior born. The inn was too crowded, so Mary gave birth to Jesus in the […]

One thought that stood out was the […]

When We Forget What We Need

When We Forget What We Need

What do we do when we forget the one thing we need? When I was a tween, I noticed the Rice Crispies box and thought making rice crispy treats would be great. The box had a recipe, so I thought I was all set. I started mixing the cereal with butter and tried to mold […]

Finding the Up Within the Down

Finding the Up Within the Down

Have you ever done a double-take looking out the window? Arriving early at the office one morning, my gaze immediately caught the light in the window. The deep orange glow of the sun peaking behind the mountain outside was mesmerizing. I paused from what I was doing to wait for the sun to make its […]

The Best Cup Full of Grace

The Best Cup Full of Grace

Many of us are mug collectors. There are so many mugs to choose from, and if they speak to us, they may just go home with us. While I have a few mugs, I know some friends have many shelves devoted to them in the kitchen cabinets. If that’s you, I would love to come […]

When You Need to Turn Around

When You Need to Turn Around

I gathered everything I needed—or so I thought—and headed out the door with both hands full. As I reached the car, I had a nagging feeling that I had forgotten something, but I brushed it off and kept going. Thankfully, I didn’t get far before realizing that I had forgotten my glasses. Feeling inconvenienced, I […]
