Merry Christmas, everyone! (Or as my nephew likes to say in his cute little three-year-old voice: “Happy Christmas!” 🤗) In this bit of a Christmas letter/post, I wanted to share with y’all some stories that have been on my heart lately, and some thoughts about this holiday season. Like a Weaned Child with His Mother…… Continue reading Life Lessons from Children & Goats + Christmas Reflections

Wings Like Eagles
Lately, I have been feeling weak and defeated in my faith. Certain circumstances had gotten me weary and cast down, and I felt like I was continually failing in certain areas of my life. The Lord was so good to send me some very specific reminders this past week that have revived my spirit. It… Continue reading Wings Like Eagles
Hymn Writers: Elisha Hoffman – “I Must Tell Jesus”
This post has been sitting in my draft folder for a couple of months now, and I thought it was about time to dust it off and share it. 🙂 At the time I originally wrote it, I was going through something difficult, and the Lord was kind to bring this hymn to my mind,… Continue reading Hymn Writers: Elisha Hoffman – “I Must Tell Jesus”
My Redeemer Lives!
Happy Resurrection Sunday! He is risen! ✝️🌅 Leading up to this weekend I’ve had the song, "Redeemer" stuck in my head. The chorus, “I know my Redeemer lives” has filled my heart with such excitement every time I sing it! 😃 Our God is not dead. We serve a risen Savior! This is our hope!I… Continue reading My Redeemer Lives!
A Letter to My Younger Self…
Last month I noticed this trend on social media of people posting “I took my younger self out to coffee”, and what they would tell their younger selves. This is a bit of a spin off from that, although I had actually written down the idea to do this post before I even saw that… Continue reading A Letter to My Younger Self…
❤️ Here is Love ❤️
Last week at church we were looking at God’s attributes of His holiness and His love, and the question was asked: What is love? How can you define it? Is it a feeling, or an action? In the Bible, we see four different types of love: Eros (romantic love), Storge (family love), Philia (deep friendship… Continue reading ❤️ Here is Love ❤️

For a couple of days in a row the passages that I was copying down were from Nehemiah 9. In every set… Continue reading You Are God

Christmas is upon us, and it is hailed in songs as being “the most wonderful time of the year”. It is one of my favorite holidays, and there are so many things I love about this season - the lights, the decorations, music, special treats and traditions, time with family, but most importantly - celebrating… Continue reading Immanuel: God With Us
Delighting in the Lord
My sisters and I just got back from an encouraging weekend at a ladies' retreat hosted by some dear friends of ours. It was such a blessing to get to spend a few days at a beautiful lakeside cabin, fellowshipping with other sisters in Christ, singing together, having lighthearted + deep conversations over meals, walks… Continue reading Delighting in the Lord
As A Father Carries His Son
Last Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day, and the theme of fatherhood reminded me of some verses in the book of Deuteronomy I had read not too long ago. In the passage, Moses is recounting to the children of Israel how they were fearful and doubted that God would give them the land He had promised… Continue reading As A Father Carries His Son
