If we were having coffee today, I would tell you that these are the days I prayed for, longed for, and maybe even grieved for, when I was home with my babies. If we were having coffee today, I would tell you about all the walks and talks I had with Jesus. About my calling,… Continue reading coffee chats

Anna
We all know women that inspire us to be a better version of ourselves. Even as grownups, these women make us say, “I want to be like her when I grow up.” In our Christmas story, this is Anna. And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was… Continue reading Anna
when family becomes friends.
When I was pregnant and even now as a veteran mom, I need my girlfriends. A couple of my close friends had babies 6-12months before I had my first. Having them walking just that much ahead of me was such a blessing, especially with that first pregnancy! 39 At that time Mary got ready and… Continue reading when family becomes friends.
faith like mary.
Mary was young. She was between the ages of 12-14 years old. I have two girls; one is 12 and the other is 14. I cannot imagine either of my girls engaged to be married at this age! I really cannot imagine how my girls would handle a visit from an angel with such a… Continue reading faith like mary.

The definition of REFRESH is to restore strength. To maintain by renewing supply. In the definition of the word REFRESH, we see activity. We see busyness, we see the hustle and bustle of life. But, we also see the need to restore and renew. The going and doing isn’t always wrong or bad. The downfall… Continue reading how do you refresh?
what do you savor?
You know a meal is good or a restaurant has great food when you think about what you ate, days later? That’s good food right!?!? When you go back to that meal or restaurant you tend to savor the food a little bit more than the time before too. I rarely feel this way about… Continue reading what do you savor?
standing appointments
One of the questions I get asked the most is, “What does sitting with Jesus really look like?”. I think, as women, we have created this picture of a moment like Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus. Even though our physical posture may not look like Mary’s, it’s the posture of her heart we… Continue reading standing appointments
