Welcome to my blog, a place to find rest in His Word. Subscribe
When my mind feels cluttered and my heart feels crowded, I often wish I could just check out. Knowing that was not a real solution, I decided to start decluttering the house. I’ve finished one closet and still have a few more to go, but there’s already more space. I’ve also noticed a shift in […]
As I return from taking some time off of day-to-day life, I am grateful for the rest. While I love a good, solid routine, sometimes, I welcome the break. When we step away, we often can make space for reflection and rest. While many may wait for the end of a calendar year to reflect, […]
I was surprised to see flowers growing in the middle of the front yard. The dark pink petunias seemed to glow amidst all the green grass blades. Last year, we had a bare spot in our front yard and transferred some dirt to fill it. Not realizing there were remnants of last summer’s flowers, I […]
What do you love most about yourself? This question may make you laugh and want to move on to another question. If you’re naturally confident, this may be easy to answer. For others, we may be slower to answer. Out of the blue the other day, I asked myself this question. What do I love […]

Several years ago, I decided to change jobs. I was excited about the change, but when I got there, it seemed like challenges were flying from left to right. I questioned and wondered if I had made the right choice. Fast forward a few years later, another door opened. Looking back, I see now what […]

Even with the sun shining, the snow-covered ground shines back with a twinkle, not letting go of the white because of the bitter cold temperatures. The snow […]
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. […]
