    Just a new route

    So my goal this year is to read two books a month.  That’s not an outlandish goal by any means.  But with three kids, it felt like a good goal to me.   So far this year this has looked like a chapter or two a night, or I’ll read some in the afternoon.  Pretty […]

    What’s your never?

    These are the areas I’ve struggled the most: the areas I told God “never.”  Never would I share, never would I do that, never would I say that, never would I treat someone like that.  Never, never, never. My heart was so intentional about saying never. For example, my two year old just cried himself […]

    Rewriting Your Story

    Two songs that are speaking to my heart right now are Phil Wickham “Till I Found You” and Steffany Gretzinger “Letting Go.”  Go Listen! A line in Phil Wickham’s song is “You are rewriting my story.”  Man, it’s is singing to my heart right now.  Maybe you planned life differently.  Maybe you hadn’t really planned […]

    Small beginnings

    We begin something new.  We start, but it doesn’t end the way we think it will.  We take a different route.  We try a new craft or creative outlet. I like starting new things.  But sometimes it gets hard.  A new lesson with old feelings attached.  I want to start something new, and settle in. […]

    New Mercies

    I keep seeing this word: mercy.  In my quiet time this was the verse for today with the caption: choose grace. Hebrews 4:16 says, “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” […]

    Don’t lose heart

    Do you know you have worth? If you are a believer and you know intellectually you have worth, good.  But what’s better is if your heart believe it. What matters most is that at your worst, do you know you have worth?  That’s when it makes its way to your heart. Most of the time, […]

    Right where you are

    Seasons.  They come and go.  And if we aren’t careful we will be worrying our way to the next one, instead of being right where we are. You may not want to be where you are health wise… career wise… relationship wise… But you are there for a reason, and to wish it away is […]

    Gratitude

    Oh my gratitude has grown tremendously in this season of life.  Gratitude for creation, for small moments, for quiet, for swinging, and reading.  Gratitude typically slows me down helping me stay in the moment. I get joy just thinking about all these moments of deep deep gratitude.  A lot of those moments have little to […]

    Fully Known

    You know how your mom, friend or spouse just know you.  Like when they buy you the perfect gift or call you at a moment you needed it most. But, sometimes it’s annoying, right?  Like Jesse in Full House, when Rebecca had figured Danny out and even when he was trying to do the opposite […]

    Ending nicely

    Yesterday, I was looking for inspiration.  A passion to read something, and I was looking through my books ready to pick up a new one for July.  I remembered I had gotten 7 Women by Eric Metals.  The tag line for the book is “7 Women…and the secret to their greatness.” I felt like this would be […]
