    Tuesday Truth: A Prayer for Summer Stress

    Tuesday Truth: A Prayer for Summer Stress

    This summer has felt more like a whirlwind than a blissful breeze. I don’t think I’m alone in pulling the strands of hair out of my eyes only to have them fly right back a second later. Busy isn’t always better nor is it boring; from May to July the pace seemed to slow only […]

    The Curse of Misty Wayfair by Jaime Jo Wright Genre: Mystery | Thriller | Historical Fiction Star Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ LOVES When it comes to Jaime Jo Wright’s books, I usually find myself asking: What’s not to love?

    Book Loves: What about ’em?

    If you’ve read my post, For the Love of Books, then you know my books are practically friends. I’ll stay up late to discover their secrets (SO thankful for Hooga, my reading light!), to hear their hearts, to learn from them—or to be entertained by a drama that is not my own. I never set […]

    (Be)loved

    (Be)loved

    I’ve heard a lot about the word “beloved” lately. And, honestly, I thought it was a nice word, a sweet word, but I just kind of skimmed over it. “Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today…” “Beloved, you are treasured.” “Embrace your belovedness as a daughter of God.” And then there’s a disciple who is […]

    #Book Loves Djell, It’s All Scuzzed in Space

    Dawn of Vengeance by Ronie Kendig Genre: Sci-Fi | Space Opera Star Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️    LOVES Ronie Kendig is no stranger to giving us fast-paced, action-riddled, love-infused stories and she proves this again in Dawn of Vengeance. I have to admit, after thinking on Brand of Light (book one in the Droserean Saga) […]

    Tuesday Truths, Tips, Monday Memes, and More!

    Confession: I’m not great at social media. I don’t know a lot about SEO. And I’m new to trying to schedule out blogs and post them regularly. But I think the most important part of writing is showing up day after day. So, here’s how I’ll be in this space. I hope you’ll join me! […]

    For the Love of Books

    For the Love of Books

    There’s something about falling in love that’s beautiful and intricately mysterious—no matter whether you’re falling in love with a person, a book, an idea, a song, a home, or something else entirely. Though the first of these is what usually comes to mind. And though I’d say I got my first real taste of falling […]

    For the Days

    For the Days

    For the dishonest days where sun felt like night oblivious to my plight  I am here. For the wind whipped days when nothing stayed right  settled just out of sight I am here. For the rain drenched days when I said all was fine  struggled with the Divine I am here. For the unopened days  […]

    Mind-Body Healing

    Mind-Body Healing

    Part of healing from trauma means remembering rightly. Or re-membering, as Ann Voskamp says—”being made whole.”1 In my healing, I had to learn to look at myself, my memories, my experiences—my entire life and being—differently. I had to learn to embrace the beauty and the brokeness both as a part of my story. And I […]

    A Heart Stripped Raw

    A Heart Stripped Raw

    About a month ago, I finally admitted to myself, my husband, and to God that I just don’t know how to trust. Not myself, nor other people, and sometimes, not God.  This epiphany came from a headfirst dive into the work of Aundi Kolber in Try Softer, a book about doing the opposite of what […]
