Today feels full of wonder—it’s my granddaughter’s birthday. 🎂 🎁 Sweet Sixteen! Maybe I’m sappy, but I still remember her tiny, perfect face the day she was born. And today, my heart loves her even more. She’s talented, gentle, kind, and beautiful—and she loves Jesus. What’s Been On My Heart Last week, while recording a couple of interviews, the topic of worth came up again. As I spoke words of encouragement to others, I felt them land gently on my own heart too. Every person—every woman—you—has eternal significance. God made you in His image. Nothing and no one can take that away. Full stop. Isn’t God good at speaking what we need to hear? Ephesians 2:10 says: You, Reader, are priceless. God’s masterpiece. His perfect creation. Something for You Did you get a chance to grab my friend Mandy-Marie’s guide on the body’s responses to betrayal? If not, now’s a perfect time. Click below to get it:
🙏🏻 A Prayer for You Dear God, how amazing and gracious You are to Reader. Whatever Reader is facing right now, remind them that they matter. Reader has value and purpose this world desperately needs. Thank You for creating every person in Your image. Open our eyes and hearts to delight in each person, to see them as You do—precious. Amen. |

For several years, Dave has talked about getting a nice watch. That’s what led us into the jewelry store. I loved watching him zero in on the type and style he...
You meet the most interesting people when you get away from your familiar places. On a recent trip, a woman I met challenged me to remain present with her. Not with her words, but with her attitude. She needed hope and encouragement in almost every interaction we had. Yet her brash and demanding ways pushed people away, including me. I struggled to listen carefully with grace and compassion. After we went our separate ways, I confessed my struggles with her to God. Her needs were real and...
February showed up fast, didn’t it? One minute it was “Happy New Year,” and now we’re already talking about Valentine’s Day. 💕 I’m over here holding my tea, blinking and trying to catch up. What’s Been On My Heart For the last 15 years, I’ve set a goal to read through the Bible each year. Since my mind likes to wander when something feels familiar, I switch translations often. It helps me stay present and really listen. Last week, while reading Exodus 3, one phrase stood out to me: “Who am...
