The Beauty of Letting Go
As I’ve said so many times before, I absolutely love this season of autumn. I’m not a fan of winter’s cold, so knowing this season is so fleeting makes me appreciate it even more. Life feels like that sometimes, doesn’t it? The best moments always seem to fly by, and when we know something good…

We All “Bleed The Same”
Finding Compassion and Unity in a Divided Word I’ve always enjoyed all types of music — from classic rock (although I still can’t believe the 80’s is classic but maybe that’s for another post) to soulful gospel, and everything in between. Music has a way of speaking to the heart when words fall short. Lately,…

All In
Learning from a widow’s faith to show up fully with what we’ve been given. Last December, I decided to read the entire Bible in one year—cover to cover. While that might not seem like a huge deal, for me it was. I love reading, but I have to admit that large portions of the Bible…

Memories Are Made in the Waiting
“Wait.”It’s just a four-letter word—but not the “bad” kind we usually think of. Still, it’s one of the hardest words to live with. Who really likes to wait? We often find ourselves saying, “I can’t wait for warmer weather… I can’t wait for this pain to pass… I can’t wait for this season to be…

Winning Life’s Battles with What You Already Have
Have you ever taken on a challenge because you saw someone else do it—only to find yourself exhausted, weighed down, and wondering why it feels so heavy? I know I have. But what if the problem isn’t the challenge itself, but how we’re approaching it? The other morning I was reading a devotional on David…

The Truth About Menopause: What No One Tells You
Are you looking for a candid post addressing common myths and what to actually expect? All women will eventually go through this transition. It’s no different than puberty or pregnancy, but somehow this part of our lives as women is hushed as if a dirty word. So in this blog, I will talk about what…

Trust: My Everest and My Healing
Trust has many meanings, but for me, trusting someone with my heart—that’s when it gets truly scary. I’ll gladly sign up for jumping out of an airplane, rock climbing, or zip lining—give me that adrenaline rush, and I trust without hesitation. But when it comes to handing over the most vulnerable part of me,…

A Goat-head Weed
If you’ve never encountered this weed, consider yourself lucky—it likely means you live in a place where other plants thrive, thanks to a favorable climate or ample humidity. This resilient plant flourishes in barren, unforgiving conditions where little else can survive. For those familiar with it, you understand the frustration of watching it overrun your…

Taste
If you have been around awhile reading my blog, you will know that I love food and great tasting food at that! So, when I was reading my Bible verse of the day Psalm 34:8 ““Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” it hit different…

God’s Watching Out for Us, Even When We Don’t Realize It
They say ignorance is bliss, but I’m not so sure about that. I’ve had moments in life where I moved forward completely unaware of the dangers around me, and when I think back, it’s hard not to see God’s protective hand at work. Years ago, when I lived in Northern California, I fell more in…
