This Aspect of Prayer May Be Surprising
Imagine a situation where you’re entirely out of food at home. That scenario is tough for me to conjure up because usually, my pantry topples over with towers of unnecessary snacks.

What If You Trusted God Like This?
The wind blew back my hair as I plunged down the waterfall. It was a steep drop, plummeting down thousands of feet. In that quick moment, I caught sight of a flash of purple— a flock of birds flew past me. Just when I thought I was done for, I swooped back up and glided ...
What’s Your OOTD??
For those of us unfamiliar with fashion blogging or Instagram influencers who share style tips, let me get straight to it: #OOTD is an abbreviation for “Outfit of the Day.” While I have seen that hashtag on social media, I still needed to look it up for this article as fashion is definitely not my ...
Reclaim The Art Of Slowing Down
Four zucchinis lounge on my kitchen counter awaiting their fate. Soon, they will be peeled, shredded, and folded into a batter of flour, sugar, oil, and eggs along with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla.

While my words are far from enough, I simply offer up my thanks because, ...
Your Imperfect Story Can Speak Volumes
Incidental.
That word has an undeniably Hollywood blockbuster ring to it. (Don’t think so? Read this in your best movie trailer voice: “Incidentals, Coming to theaters, Summer 2023.” Told ya.)
But other than sounding like a movie title, the word usually connotes something which is non-essential or minor or inconsequential to the overall scheme of things.

Get On With The Life God Has For You
Our first year of marriage wasn’t all rainbows and roses.
Of course, we were newlyweds in love. But, like many freshly-baked marriages, year one was like a cake with an undercooked, wobbly middle. Back then, though, I hadn’t the faintest clue that your relationship could go from idyllic to irritating in a nanosecond. Or even if ...
