There is something sacred about a sun-drenched morning spent in quiet reflection, especially when the world feels too swift and noisy to notice its own beauty. Recently, as I sat on the back porch with my husband, Joe, overlooking the gentle shimmer of the lake, we found ourselves drifting into a conversation about the countless…

Recently, my husband Joe and I watched “The Chosen – The Last Supper”. In one of the episodes, the apostles performed the Dayenu, a Passover seder that expresses gratitude for God’s miracles during the Exodus, acknowledging that what was done was good enough. While listening to each participant, I reflected on the numerous answered prayers…

The other day, I found myself observing a seemingly ordinary moment—two women chatting enthusiastically about their lives. Their laughter and stories drew me in, though I was not part of their conversation. One woman spoke with excitement about discovering a few new restaurants with her husband. She described the ambiance of each place, the exquisite…

Every once in a while, I hear a song that is so profound that it leaves a lasting mark on my heart. This past Sunday was one such moment for me. During a night of worship at my church, the worship team led us in song after song. With each song, I found myself raising…

The other evening, I had the craziest dream that lingered with me long after I woke up. In this dream, my husband and I were deciding between two living arrangements in a new home.

It is an intimate and intentional act of…

As I laid in my hospital bed last week, recovering from gallbladder removal surgery, I joked with my husband that this surgery was an answered prayer from God. For months—no, years—I had been trying desperately to lose the weight I gained during the COVID years. I had dabbled in diet plans and exercise routines that…

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a painting class, and though the assignment seemed simple at first glance, it turned into a profound lesson about life, faith, and personal growth. The task was to paint three feathers on small canvases, each with unique colors and backgrounds. The twist? Our only tool was…

Friday evening, as I began preparing for our church’s women’s brunch on Saturday, I was filled with excitement. I had created the perfect menu for the event, I crafted a delightful opening dish, and I picked out a special little gift for the women attending. But most importantly, I generated a handful of questions for…

Today, Joe and I spent the day at Home Depot. I know for some people this would seem like the worst way to spend a day, but I simply loved it. I love going up and down the aisles, getting ideas of all the things “we” can do for our new home. But as much…
