I am a believer in affirmations. When we lived in California I did a one day job as a personal assistant to a business coach from San Francisco and she asked me what I ultimately wanted to do. I said work from home. She then told me to mediate on that ask for it from [...]

Reading: Always Enough, Never Too Much Devotional by Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan
I can't title this post as Finished Reading, because honestly I'm not done and I'm perfectly ok with that. And you will be too. First, this fabulous devotion, Always Enough, Never Too Much, is a great extension of these author's first book, Wild & Free. Which if you didn't read that or my review, which you [...]
Finished Reading: Sinners in the hands of a Loving God by Brian Zahnd
I awkwardly picked this one out to read if I'm going to be honest. I'm hesitant with theological books for a few reasons, 9 times out of 10 they are over my head. I'm a smart girl but theology, philosophy, etc aren't my wheelhouse and I admit that. But I also don't want to simply [...]
Finished Reading: Tranquility Prayer & Reflection Journal
In some ways the title of this blog post is a bit misleading, since this is a prayer journal there isn't actually that much to read but I did read, pray and color through a weeks worth of the prompts. I love the small size of this prayer journal, I found myself reaching for it [...]
Finished Reading: Devotions from the Kitchen Table
We all have that one person in our lives, maybe it's our mom, grandma, or even a devoted friend that you can always count on being in the kitchen, who thrives in sharing her gifts of cooking and hosting with her family and friends. When we lived in Colorado I was always baking bread, there [...]
My 2017 Morning Routine + the Beautiful Word Devotional
My morning has changed a lot since the last time, I blogged about it HERE & HERE. I'm trying to be more intentional with how I spend my hours earlier in the day. No, I don't get up at 5 am for a brisk run that aligns my heart and mind for the day but kudos to [...]
Lament on Anxiety
I recently started the She Reads Truth: Mourning & Dancing study. My friend, Stacie, ordered a copy of this a few months ago and was blessed enough to receive two and shared with me. I've been holding on to it and decided last week to start this study as a way of lamenting the loss [...]
When Life is More than you can Handle
As one who has had her share of trials (read 7 moves in 7 years, 5 different jobs + getting a husband through a masters program & additional training program), do this girl a favor and stop telling people, good hardworking people, that God will not give them more than they can handle. Because all [...]
How I am learning to SAVOR each & every day
I am an avid routine keeper, somedays are harder than others especially as a work from home individual! But my day always includes one hour with God, either before I 'go' to work or after work and lunch of course. Adding Shauna Nieguist's Savor book of devotions/journaling prompts has been a nice reminder to enjoy [...]
I Just Finished Reading ‘Searching for Sunday’ by Rachel Held Evans
I am a huge fan of Rachel, so I have been eager to read this book for a while. So was my husband. I like to think that if we moved to Dayton, TN we could be friends with Rachel and her husband. In fact, I secretly like to think we already are. The subtitle [...]
