Finished. Do you have any projects or goals you’re working on that you’re anticipating the finish line? I just finished some kitchen renovations that nearly took the entire summer to complete. We painted our kitchen cabinets, and while I read about how complex a process it could be, I was determined to make it through. […]
As I make my morning drive, opting for the country back road, I admire the sunrise every time and can’t help but notice all the gardens. Backyard gardens full of veggies and wild vines, rows of corn stretching for miles along the rolling hills, and my favorite, the sunflower garden, full of sunflowers leaning intently […]
I’ve found myself caught in more than one thunderstorm this summer. While I see the dark clouds looming ahead, I can still see the sunshine and blue skies hovering above. So without the umbrella, I venture forward in confidence. In a matter of minutes, the raindrops are pelting from the sky, and the storm clouds […]
So much space is given for us to share life stories, thoughts, and even our opinions on social media.

There’s just something about getting rid of things you don’t need. It’s like fresh air once you make some space. While cleaning the cluttered closet, I’ve reflected on some things. First, […]
Have you ever bought that out-of-season item because it was an excellent deal? I’m typically the in-season type of person, but this time, I ventured out of my norm and purchased a Christmas sweatshirt at one of my favorite stores.

If you need a breakthrough of any kind, you can always find grace and truth in Jesus. He never fails. His words are always full of grace. His peace always brings comfort. His guidance always leads us the right way. He even takes our sorrow and gives us joy. I’ve been leaning into the Gospels […]
