This post is a little late thanks to a very full few days, but this past weekend was my wonderful husband’s birthday, and I couldn’t let that go by without expressing my thanks for him.

He’s the most loyal person I know.

He’s goofy and generous and hard working and has a servant’s heart.

He is the hands and feet of Jesus to me. He champions and supports my healing every single day—whether that’s by pointing me back to God on the hard days, celebrating every little victory, or helping wash an insane amount of vegetables and keep the house clean.

Find yourself someone like him and you’ll always have your best friend by your side in this journey of life & faith & healing. Its joys will be ever brighter, and its valleys won’t be quite so difficult to bear.

Happy birthday, my love. You make me a better person every day ❤️

I may search the earth and all the skies, but Lord

I may search the earth and all the skies, but Lord, my soul finds rest in You alone.

Truly my soul finds rest in God.
My salvation comes from Him.
Truly He is my rock and my salvation.
He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

May you hold loosely this weary world and find rest in Him tonight. ❤️

Today, do one small thing to restore your soul. F

Today, do one small thing to restore your soul.

For you, that might look like trying a new recipe without worrying about how it turns out. That might look like playing music through your afternoon or closing a handful of tabs on your browser. It might mean putting your tasks aside and diving into the Word with no schedule and no expectations. It might mean cleaning the bathroom or writing someone a letter or taking a walk in the sun. It might even look like taking a walk in the rain.

What’s your one small thing today? Comment below and let me know ☀️

Today, remember not to take yourself too seriously

Today, remember not to take yourself too seriously. Take a moment to laugh. Take a moment to dance in the kitchen like no one’s watching. Take a moment to cultivate the innocence & wonder of a child.

This morning I made shapes with my breakfast, but that’s exactly what I needed. To take a breath, to laugh, and to remind myself to tread lightly through this day.

Remember that no matter how much you need to get done, there will always be more to do.

Remember that God cares for the sparrows, and He’ll care for you too.

Let yourself take that breath today. Then smile. Then look up, and remember.

E X C I T I N G N E W S! Hey, friends. It’s an

E X C I T I N G N E W S!

Hey, friends. It’s an exciting day because I get to tell you about my next step toward reaching my writing goals—my monthly newsletter! Starting next week, I’ll be sending out an email once a month that’s short, sweet, and (hopefully) just the dose of encouragement you’ll need.

For those who don’t know much about the publishing process, gathering a community of people who support you (and trust you with their email address) is a CRUCIAL step. In fact, email subscribers is the key metric publishers use when deciding whether or not to sign an author! If you’d like to support me in my writing career, signing up for my newsletter is one of the very best ways to do that!

I know, I know. You might be thinking how annoying email signups are these days. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I completely understand that feeling, and that’s why I’ll be emailing just once a month. And this newsletter isn’t about me. This is something special I’ll write just for you—a brief story, reflection, or challenge to help you slow down, reset, and gather the tools you’ll need to seek healing and purpose in the month ahead.

Rest assured this isn’t just something I need to ✔️ off the list on my way to publishing. I have a pretty good feeling this is about to become my FAVORITE thing to write each month. And I’d be so honored if you would join me in it. Here are a few ways you can sign up!

ONE 👉🏼 The simplest way is to drop a comment below, and I’ll reach out to you to gather your email.

TWO 👉🏼 Send me your preferred email address in a DM.

THREE 👉🏼 Visit the link in my bio and use the signup form you’ll find there.

I’m SO thankful for your support in this endeavor. Keep an eye on your inbox next week! ❤️

Do you ever wish you could rewrite your story? Tha

Do you ever wish you could rewrite your story? That you could go back in time and change something about yourself or your life, or walk a different path?

Me too, friend.

It’s hard not to wonder what our lives might have looked like if we could change that one piece of our story—the one we regret, the one we wish wasn’t ours to hold, the one we still don’t understand.

What if we hadn’t walked away from that career or relationship? Or if we hadn’t let go of that crazy dream? What would life look like without illness, strife, or the domino effects of that decision we made years ago? What would have happened if we had been more humble, more committed, more courageous?

These are questions we don’t have answers to because they are questions we were never meant to answer. When we wallow in our pasts—when we’re ashamed of them, afraid of them, or we let them have too much power over us—we miss the opportunity to grow and be made stronger by them. And when we convince ourselves that our lives could be better if we could just rewrite that one chapter, we forget who the author of our stories is. Hint: It’s not us.

May we find comfort today in remembering that even the path we never imagined walking is exactly what God had in mind for us this whole time. And one day we’ll see how all these frayed and tangled threads weave together into the most profound story—one that’s fuller and more beautiful than we ever could have written ourselves.

Thank you @esthermariesmth for this beautiful remi

Thank you @esthermariesmth for this beautiful reminder from your book Chronic Illness: Walking by Faith. Esther’s devotional book releases TODAY, and I could not be more excited for her. This book is packed with vulnerability, truth, and biblical encouragement for anyone dealing with chronic illness in this life. It’s exactly the book I’ve needed in my own journey, and I would recommend it to anyone walking a similar road.

As I dive deeper into my own writing career, I’ve loved being able to walk alongside and support other authors during their process of launching books—I can tell you it’s no easy task! Plus, the success of a book highly depends on purchases made via preorder and in the first few weeks of its release. If you or someone you love could find solace in Esther’s words, I’d encourage you to check it out. The link is in my bio! 📚

So often we forget to stop and notice the world. We hustle through our days, overlooking the beauty right under our noses.

This afternoon, I saw that the large bushes in my yard had bloomed, and I realized for the first time that they’re honeysuckle—one of my favorite smells in the world. Last spring, I must not have even noticed.

Today, grant your soul and your body the rest they crave, and allow yourself to deeply notice the sights and sounds and smells around you. Give yourself permission to set aside the to-do list for a little while. Be. Breathe. And linger in the quiet, in the stillness, in the beauty just a little bit longer. 🌱
