Worshiping Well When Life Changes- Cultivating in Quarantine

April 20, 2020April 20, 2020Leave a comment

As some of you may know one of my 2020 goals is to read through the Bible in two years. Now I am the first to say that I was very intimidated by this goal to read through the Bible because I wanted to read through it canonically. (Canonically is where you read through it … Continue reading Worshiping Well When Life Changes- Cultivating in Quarantine

March 20, 2020March 20, 20202 Comments

One of the questions I get a lot is about how I learned to hand letter. I want to share how I learned to hand letter and share my resources.

On My Bookshelf: Fourth Quarter of 2019

January 24, 2020February 20, 2020Leave a comment

In October 2018, I read a book for the first time in a few years, I had no idea it would spark my love for reading again. In the first 3 quarters of 2019, I only read 3 books. In the last quarter of 2019, I got back into reading on my own, joined a … Continue reading On My Bookshelf: Fourth Quarter of 2019

2019 a Year to Review

December 28, 2019February 20, 2020

2019 has held some of the greatest accounts of God’s faithfulness, yet alongside His greatness, this year has challenged me in so many ways spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Amidst these triumphs and uncertainties so much has happened and I wanted to sit down and recap it all with you. Before we jump into all that … Continue reading 2019 a Year to Review

As I tend to this garden bed, the Lord continues to tend to my heart.
Just need to take a moment to appreciate my man 🤟🏼
Since I started working on my refresh on the cruise ship, I have struggled to complete it. There are so many things going on that make for a heavy heart, not only in our world, but very much in my own life from disease progression to everyday uncertainty.
We always talk about how doing something imperfectly is better than doing nothing, and that applies to filling out your TL late!
Lord, let this prayer strengthen the posture of my weary heart and give hope to my overwhelmed mind.
This vacation was so, so wonderful ☀️
