Find Grace Even in the Mistakes

Find Grace Even in the Mistakes

Things forgotten. Missed deadlines. Last-minute changes to plans. It’s inevitable. No matter how prepared we try to be or how well we are at something, we will make mistakes. We’ll forget things and sometimes just say the wrong things. And sometimes, we can’t keep up with everything, and that’s okay. Just the other day, I […]

Be Present in the Here and Now

Be Present in the Here and Now

There is a lesson in everything, including cleaning out the closet. I did some spring cleaning, trying to minimize the stuff in my house. 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, […]

Looking for Adventure in Every New Day

Looking for Adventure in Every New Day

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. In the spring season of summer-like weather and nowhere near Christmas time. This out-of-season sweatshirt […]

How to Make Every Day Matter

How to Make Every Day Matter

Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. That is the true purpose and meaning behind everything we do, and I’ve thought a lot about this verse lately. It makes me want to pause to reflect on the meaning of the things that fill my day. Big and small. Routine and extraordinary. […]

Finding Your Worth in the Right Place

How many times have you lost your car keys or glasses? While I have good intentions of putting my keys in the same place, that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes my keys get misplaced and I have to search the house for them. While I do have to search for my keys from time to time, […]

Trendy is Not Always the Heart’s Way

Trendy is Not Always the Heart’s Way

Instagram must know that I’m thinking about making changes in my kitchen. I see quite a few transformational pictures of remodeled rooms coming across my newsfeed. I must say, the before and after photos are amazing. One designer painted her kitchen cabinets gray. She shares how she knows that it’s not the trendy color that […]

See the Beauty in the Ordinary

See the Beauty in the Ordinary

I could feel the overwhelm within. It was slowing building as I went through an ordinary day of life. You know, those days that consist of to-do’s, work, doing laundry, and all the other little things that seemed trivial in the moment? It’s in reptitious days like these that I can become overwhelmed with the […]

Finding Truth at the Table

Finding Truth at the Table

Jesus arrives at the banquet, and He takes a seat at the table with tax collectors. He sits with the unrighteous. People complained and questioned why He would spend time with sinners. Jesus gathered around that table with perfect love and without judgment. I’ve been spending some time in the Gospels, and I love how, […]

Find the Stillness Even in the Waves

Find the Stillness Even in the Waves

If you ever feel like the waves of life have come crashing in more forceful than before, remember that Jesus is there to calm your spirit and still the waves. I’m nowhere close to ocean waves, but I can picture them as I close my eyes. I can hear the waves as they greet the […]
