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! […]

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 […]
