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. |

I'll be honest—I have a love-hate relationship with technology, especially when it doesn't extend grace for user error. :) But here's a fun fact that still makes me smile: almost 19 years ago, Dave used semi-brand-new technology called Skype to connect our son—who was living in Austria—to our daughter's wedding in Colorado. People at the wedding...
Well, we finished our taxes and got them filed. Phew! Anybody else feel like this is a slog through knee-high mud each year? As much as I dread the work and learning the results, every year I see how God provides. Whether that's an unexpected refund or discovering we have remaining taxes due, we've always had the resources we needed. God always shows up right on time. Oh, by the way, in my family, tax day means celebration—it's my brother's birthday. ☺️ I much prefer that party. What’s Been...
This past weekend I did something I have never done—ever. I set aside three days for a personal retreat, intentionally focused on caring for myself. Mind, body, and soul. 🌿 Time in nature. The sound of water moving gently. Floating in cool water and letting everything just…still. God knew exactly how much my soul needed this reconnection—with nature, with him, with the quiet he so graciously provides when we finally stop long enough to receive it. And what a week to arrive refreshed. Because...
