There's so much fear and heartache in our world right now. For the first time in most of our lives we are all walking through hardship together. And while our trial might look similar in many ways, it's also very unique to each and every person. But God, as He has done throughout the generations, can use whatever trial we face to draw us to Himself. And he can do so in unique and beautiful ways.He is a personal God.He desires a personal relationship with each and every one of His children.This ... Read More about Loving with grace. Psalm 28:7

Fruit Banner
Just over a year ago I penned a post about my mom. It was a heartfelt post about her life, mainly talking about her inner beauty and the things she taught me most, simply by being who God had made her to be.Sadly, that post disappeared (as in vanished off this blog) and I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere. I will not attempt to repeat it as it was written more as therapy for my hurting heart shortly after she passed away. However, I do want to re share the banner that I made in her ...

Laundry Room Printable
This is a printable that I made for our laundry room... I've had this idea for a such a LONG time.If you're like me (or how I was when all 5 girls lived under my roof), laundry would pile up in a blink of an eye. I'd often pray for each of my girls as I folded their clothes. It was a great way to keep my focus on 'doing all things for the glory of God' (something that's difficult to do, especially in the mundane tasks such as laundry!!). A week ago BOTH my washer AND dryer bit the dust. That led ... Read More about Laundry Room Printable
Patriotic Banner
It's been quite a while since my last post and believe me, I certainly haven't forgotten about this little blog that I felt led to begin nearly 3 years ago. It's just that I've been a bit fuzzy on what I should focus on specifically, and being the ever precautious type of person that I am, I have been frozen somewhat indefinitely. Until this morning. For quite a while I've been on what you might call a difficult, yet good, spiritual journey. You know, the kind of season in life that you wouldn't ... Read More about Patriotic Banner
Making Peace with My Curls
Curly hair. It seems to be a popular topic, and for the people who have it, the topic is usually discussed just about every single day. After having many similar conversations, it appears that the conclusion ends up being the same: Everyone is unsatisfied and frustrated with their hair. Very few are content with their hair. Many wish to have curly hair, and the ones who do have it wish to give it away. Here’s how I, a girl who wanted more than anything to have straight, blonde hair, ...

Printable Psalm
Do you ever have 'one of those days'. Or maybe even 'one of those weeks?'Maybe you woke up feeling ready to conquer the day, but when night time rolled around, you slipped into bed wishing you hadn't said 'those words' or allowed yourself to dwell on those negative and depressive thoughts. I have those days more than I'd like to admit. I often wonder how it is that I can get derailed so quickly. Even days that begin with sweet fellowship with the Lord, by that afternoon I can be feeling super ... Read More about Printable Psalm
Creating through brokeness
*Written in memory of our precious son Abram on his 25th birthday. And in honor of my sister Kathy, the most creative person I know. Have you ever experienced a life changing event. One where you knew that from that point on you would never be the same? For my husband and I that day came 25 years ago today. After 9 months of awaiting the birth of our baby boy he suddenly and without explanation became still. We gave birth to our beautiful, precious son Abram Charles on November ...
