A childhood bus ride turned into a lasting lesson on kindness, presence, and what it means to truly see people.

I recently learned that people still handwrite the entire Bible—and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Here’s why I decided to start, what I’m learning already, and why you might want to try it too.

I was at Bible study recently and we were asked a simple question: How does God see you? My first thoughts weren’t exactly rooted in truth… but the Bible is clear. When we trust Jesus, God sees us through the lens of Christ—through His sacrifice, His righteousness, His finished work.

An ordinary trip to the car wash turned into an unexpected reminder: faithfulness isn’t about what we have—it’s about how we care for it.

Two introverts took separate flights to Arizona. What followed were desert hikes, sunshine, and a prayer for healing I wasn’t sure would be answered.

I accidentally walked out of the store without paying for a bottle of curl cream. No one would have known—but my conscience had other plans.

My niece gave everything she had on the dance floor until her legs gave out. It reminded me that we weren't meant to carry the hard seasons.

I didn’t sleep, hit the wrong coffee button, and started my day already exhausted. But God’s mercies still showed up—right on time.

As Lent approaches, I started looking at 40-day journeys in the Bible. What stood out wasn’t discipline or sacrifice, but dependence—learning to trust God one day at a time.

Life felt full last week. From early mornings to sourdough starters that took three tries, this is a reminder to practice gratitude—and keep going.

A simple prayer walking devotional led to small but real changes in our home—less anxiety, more connection, and a renewed focus on rejoicing.

A week of Twins Fantasy Camp, family memories, and unexpected joy reminded me how easy it is to spot God’s gifts on vacation—and how important it is to notice them in everyday life too.

Anticipation isn’t just about waiting—it shapes how we live today. Watching my girls get ready for their first airplane ride reminded me how preparation, priorities, and small faithful choices matter, both on a trip and in life.

As 2025 wraps up, I’m reflecting on family, running, summer memories, and the lessons this year has taught me. My focus for 2026? Being faithful in the small things.

A reflection on marriage, busy seasons, and how easily we drift from gratitude without ever meaning to.

As we decorated for Christmas, my family reminded me of my very particular nativity tradition—keeping the wise men far from the manger. Here’s the biblical reason why.

When life hurts and all you can pray is “God, help me,” He meets you there. This devotional offers comfort, Scripture, and hope for the moments that feel too heavy to carry.

The first snowfall looked fresh and clean, but it reminded me how often we cover things up in our own lives. Only Jesus can cleanse what’s beneath and make us truly new.

Words do hurt. When someone spoke something untrue about me, I wanted to fight back—but Jesus shows a better way to respond when accusations come.

I’m not afraid of dying — and it’s not because I’m brave. It’s because I know Jesus, and His perfect love casts out all fear. His presence is our true home, now and forever, and Heaven isn’t just a someday promise.
