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.

I’m trying something new. Digital art. Am I a pro at it? Far from it, but I’m so glad for YouTube tutorials. While it’s taking me some time (a lot of time) to learn how to use design software, it’s so much fun. The more time I invest in learning about it, I know I […]
This past Saturday, I decided to “Swiffer” the entire house. It felt like a deep clean kind of Saturday, requiring a little extra time and effort. Not even halfway into the cleaning frenzy, I noticed I had more dust than I realized. The more I swept and Swiffered, the more it seemed like dust bunnies […]
As I scanned the room of people, I noticed everyone in conversation, laughing and sharing. I saw many friends who I knew I could strike up a conversation with. However, I noticed someone sitting alone in the back as everyone else engaged in laughter and conversation. I recognized him but couldn’t remember his name. Was […]
You’ve probably noticed the sun is setting earlier now and there’s a chill in the air. I always want to hold onto the light and enjoy the warmth of the sunshine just a little longer. I realize though, that I can embrace the change of every season. Afterall, there is goodness to be found in […]
