Love Letter to God
Hello, tender friends! Here are some photos of us enjoying God’s majestic creation: Sometimes I perceive God’s presence a lot; other times I don’t. I found this unedited writing sprint while decluttering and wanted to share it here. I wrote it during a time when I was perceiving God’s presence almost daily in tangible ways…

Standing on God’s Word
Hello, tender friends! Between work and teaching VBS, this week has been hectic. But we have had great fun! Our theme location this year is “Breaker Rock Beach,” so that’s why you see the whale in the background. Evenings have been hectic, but the Holy Spirit has been moving. I have had the urge to…

God’s Mysterious Ways
Hello tender friends! God’s ways are always better. We found a baby deer in the tree line around the house a few days ago. She was tiny and cried out for her mother, apparently abandoned. She walked back and forth looking lost and blinking her beautiful, long-lashed eyes. The next morning, she lay curled up…

You Are a Diamond
Hello tender friend! It arrived in the mail! After Cubby went to bed, I kicked back on the couch with my favorite blanket and a cup of lemon balm tea and read the whole thing! (Just a reminder that nothing on here is monetized and I only endorse things as I feel led. I will…

Mercy in the Curse
Hello tender friends, and happy belated Easter! I neglected to take a picture at church yesterday, so here’s a picture of Cubby and me from a few weeks ago. I made that necklace on one of my crafting adventures making noni. Oh, and here are some quick photos of Boo Boo having a grand old…

Moving in Unity
Hello, tender friends! What a blessing it was to rejoice with those who rejoice at a friend’s baby shower this weekend! The shower was Saturday morning. I hustled Friday to get everything done- I had to pick up a gift, buy cardstock for decorations, and manage some work stuff. But when I was in bed…

The Day God Patted Me on the Shoulder
Hello, tender friends! I’ve never written about this anywhere but in my diary, and I get nervous writing these posts. I believe it’s time now to share now though because a different member of my family is sick and I need to remember what God has done and trust Him as I once did. (I’m…

A Friend’s Book Announcement!
Hello, tender friends! A dear friend of mine has released her book! Ok, it’s technically only released on Amazon Kindle, which I don’t have, so I’m debating between the regular hard copy but having to wait or figuring out Amazon Kindle. If you have any advice, I’m all ears! I just love this cover art…

Time to Embrace Royalty
Hello, tender friends! Okay, I know that you’re all biblically literate and you got both of those right! What’s funny is that Paul made those statements in Romans approximately only one chapter apart from each other. How many sermons have you heard about how important it is to recognize your sinful nature? How many sermons…

What God Told Me the Day I Got Engaged
Hello and happy belated Valentine’s day, tender friends! And yes, as I promised last year, Cub and I made homemade cards this year! Anyhow, as a follow-up to why I love that the men and women who attend night to shine receive crowns, I thought I’d share some of the biblical things I don’t understand…
