Following His Path To Something Beautiful
A couple years ago I tried to transplant 2 hydrangea plants. I made the mistake of putting one in the direct sunlight in what would be the hottest part of the day. The poor plant would wilt every single day, and then in the morning it would be a little happier. I thought to myself [...]
You all know my story, and my fear of flying. And here I am preparing for another flight, and excited about my destination. Today, as I have been again reflecting on a trip I took last year, and also taking a deeper look at the armor of God, I am going to share with you [...]
“A perfect gift is not easy.” my husband, Mike, told me this over and over again the past 2 days. And how true the words are. I began to prepare a gift for a dear friend last Sunday. I thought it would have been finished by Tuesday. But I was wrong. The hours that this [...]
Hey all! Although I am no longer writing regularly for Candidly Christian, I got the opportunity to write a guest post for them this week! It is a reflection I wrote on a blog I had written for them 4 years ago. It was such a sweet time writing this, and I hope that it [...]

How many of you do words for the year? I know many of you don't. It isn't right or wrong to do one or not, but somehow they end up being fitting for me. You can read about my word of the year from last year here. But my word of the year this year [...]
Be still. That was my word for 2022. Technically 2 words but you get the point. Be still and know He is God. As I have reflected on the past year this week, those 2 words (and Psalm 46:10) couldn't have been more appropriately. My heart and mind has had to be quieted, still, and [...]
