What Does Your Path Look Like?

February 1, 2023

Pick a path that represents your journey recently. What has happened on that path? How did you feel as you walked along that path? Originally sent out Oct. 18, 2022 There are rhythms in our lives— seasons, journeys. When I work with ladies at these retreats, I’m asking them to reflect on their journeys, and […]

Do not merely listen, think on, ponder

January 30, 2023

Originally sent out September 18, 2022 So, I’m doing a Bible Study through the book of 1 Peter with some incredible, godly women.

A Journey Toward Dedication

January 30, 2023

Originally sent out August 9, 2022 I’ve just been back a month, and in some ways it seems like a lot has happened. But in other ways it’s been a slow start! My luggage did finally arrive after ten days, and I was able to finish settling into my house. I’ve been able to host […]

Rooted

July 26, 2022

Rooted Something that I’ve discovered recently is that just about every plant you cut off and put in water here will sprout roots.

Why we do this . . .

November 17, 2021

I realized today, that for the last several days, I’d been dating my journal pages 10/11/21 or 10/13/21-with October instead of November. And then I noticed the same mistake in the spreadsheet I use to keep track of finances. When the weather is the same year round, it’s hard to remember what month it is! […]

The Journey Begins

July 29, 2021

Originally sent June 16, 2021 Changing Seasons Things have changed a bit since I last wrote . . . ever since I made the decision in mid-May to come home for the summer, it’s been full speed ahead! Since I was due to switch houses anyway, it seemed like a good time to pack everything […]

At His Feet

July 16, 2021

To Rest at His Feet (originally written May 1, 21) I love seeing God at work in and through people, and lately I’ve been super excited at the ways the Lord is using me— not because I’m special or overly-skilled in some way. Let it be an encouragement to you that He can and wants […]
