Ready or not, here we are in another new year. While there is a lot of focus on resolutions swirling around us this time of year, what I’m finding that matters most is embracing the moment, the here and now. I honestly haven’t thought much about resolutions. Maybe because I know last year’s remain unfinished. […]
There is something special about seeing the stars in the morning before dawn. There’s a stillness and peace that sparkle with them. While driving, I noticed a shooting star straight ahead of me. It was as if the Father wanted me to notice the star’s sparkling descent. It was slow and graceful. Such a simple […]
The festivities are in full swing in this season of twinkling lights, wrapping paper, and classic Christmas songs. Standing in line among others in a crowded store with all things Christmas, I paused to listen to the young, kind-hearted teenager who mentioned her struggle with an audio-processing disorder. In another store, the woman in front […]
Do you have a daily routine that helps your day? Before jumping into a full calendar, it could be as simple as your coffee and quiet time. I know that’s my favorite time of the day. Or maybe it’s enjoying worship music or a podcast while sitting in the carpool line at school as you […]
These days, I find myself settling into a chapter of Scripture for weeks. While it would be easy to want to jump ahead and move on, maybe it’s okay to turn our pause into settling in and staying awhile. We all know life can be a rush. It’s almost second nature. Can I say it? […]

I’ve had a question that’s been dwelling in my mind this week. I think it’s good to consider even if there’s no complete answer. (Do we always need an answer, though?) Can we find harmony when joy and sorrow collide with one another? Joy and sorrow are interwoven into our journeys. While finding balance in […]
Writing has always been within me. I remember in third grade, we had a class project to write and design our very own book. Of course, there was no publishing deal, but I was ecstatic about the book project. As a third grader, I loved to draw, and writing brought me great joy, too, so […]
What’s your all-time favorite tradition? Maybe it’s Fall festivities just around the corner, or maybe it’s your annual beach vacation, which will take some time before it circles back around again. Perhaps you enjoy a ceremony of a traditional wedding or something as simple as your quiet, coffee morning time. We hold onto many traditions […]
Do you have more than one thing that has your focus today? On top of an already full day, you have three invites from friends you still need to respond to. Maybe you have multiple projects that you have started, and all are still incomplete. You have a lot of good things on your plate, […]
