We had a break in our Wisdom Wednesday guest authors today, so I wanted to share with you a new blog series that is starting this week and will take place on Tuesdays. Monday was our son’s 100th week in our third phase of cancer treatment. In case you are unfamiliar with our story and […]
Recharge Friday: Thankful String Art
It’s cold outside, and I want my pretty fall weather back! I’m bundled in my favorite hoodie and deep into edits of The Soul Searcher for my publisher. I need to run out to the grocery store later, but I would rather curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and finish a crochet hat that […]
Celebrating You
Happy National Author’s Day! When November 1st rolls around, my mind always goes to two things. Thanksgiving and NaNoWriMo. Thanksgiving is a time that always makes me happy. The beautiful fall day mixed with yummy food (turkey!) and family. I can’t get in the Christmas mood until turkey day is over. NaNoWriMo also plays a […]
Christmas Traditions
This year has been a roller coaster of emotions. As most of you already know and follow our story, our youngest son was diagnosed with Leukemia right after Christmas last year. He is in Remission and while we are so thankful for that, we still have a year and a half left of treatments. We […]

Next! Psalm 58
One of the things that I love about the book of Psalms is the honest human emotion that comes from it. David did not hold back his thoughts or feelings. In fact, there are several times when I cringe when I read a few chapters; not because I’m ashamed of reading it, but that I’ve […]
Perfect Timing~ Psalm Chapter 56
My last devotional post was entitled Still Believe and if you remember I wrote about how even though you go through things in your life that you can’t understand, God still has a plan. When I wrote that blog, I was coming from a rough place. We were told that we had six months to […]
Being Thankful- Psalm Chapter 47
I saw this quote on a friends Facebook that is really good and has stuck with me. Its said: “What if you woke up today with only the things that you thanked God for yesterday?” Wow! That really made me stop and think. So many times I let my mind dwell on the things that […]
