Who are your people? We all have our circles, tribes, and tables that include remarkable people with whom we confide and cherish. I love my table of people; small yet perfectly all I need. I also love the table when it’s just Jesus and me. Jesus is the One who will always circle your life. […]
I’ve been in the habit of looking at the back of food labels as I grocery shop. Becoming more health conscious in this season of life, if I see high fructose corn syrup, it goes right back on the shelf. If there is a never-ending list of words I can’t pronounce, it probably needs to […]
Do you wear a fitness watch to count your steps? Sometimes I do, but I don’t wear it most days because I find it to be more of a distraction. Once I’ve reached my goal in steps, mine will light up with fireworks to celebrate that I have achieved my goal for the day. While […]
Simple joys are something I like to revisit more than once here on this blog. It’s an invitation to pause from life, even if it’s just for a minute or two. I imagine giving yourself a minute or two will make room for even more time to enjoy what brings you joy during the ordinary […]
In college, I observed a court case for one of my classes. The defendant approached the bench and said, “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Sometimes the truth can be challenging, but honesty always brings light.

I can get in a hurry sometimes. I’m running late, so I drive faster. I have too many things on my to-do list, so I rush through so I don’t feel overwhelmed. But what if I slowed down? Pausing is so good in a world that constantly rushes you to the next best thing. As […]
Last week, we reflected on goodbyes and hellos. It can be so good for our souls to reflect on what we’ve said goodbye to and to anticipate how we can welcome in and say hello to the new, new thoughts or new hope. To be intentional, we pursue something with purpose. Our Creator designed us […]
Sometimes I need to be reminded. I’m not talking so much about reminders not to forget a date on my calendar, although I need those reminders. Instead, it’s those reminders to reflect on the goodness of the goodbyes and the anticipation of the hellos yet to come. As we say goodbye to another year, may […]
When I was a kid, I spent most of my time outdoors. Whether riding my bike or making villages in the dirt, playing outside was my favorite. One afternoon, my sister and I and our friend next door were inspired by a truck bed full of oranges and decided they would make great grenades. We […]
You know those moments when you know you’ve encountered God? You know, those you-know-that-you-know moments? I have many of those moments that truly are unexplainable. You’ve been there, too. Even if we can’t quite express the experience, we can celebrate and rejoice together. The author of your heart rejoices with you, too. I treasure how […]
