This has been such a restorative month for my soul. I am pouring out thanksgiving, praise and rejoicing for: family in all of its forms technology and how fast we get information healthy family and self abundant physical provision deep and complete work of the Spirit God’s promises that will never fail strength for each…
I wrote a few weeks ago about how I toss it all up during the autumn season each year, and begin evaluating and asking questions about any changes to make in my life. I have already received some guidance for the upcoming year, and I thought I would share the general shaping up of the…
It has been a hard year. My Father has asked me to stop dwelling here, and move along with Him. I am a bit disappointed that I won’t be able to tell my story right now, but also trusting that He knows best. This song has been a comforting and calming reminder, and I play…

A taste of fall and a great gift idea! It will take about an hour of your time, but loads of self-control so you don’t eat them all up before you can share. I highly recommend making a double batch. Simple ingredients: brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and ground ginger in one bowl; an…
It’s been one of those weeks: Where I’m sitting in Thursday, and not knowing where Sunday through Wednesday went! My mind seems like a wasteland, I feel pressured and rushed, out-of-sorts and isolated. And through that anxious hum I hear in my soul, I know these are just feelings, so I choose to tell my…
