Let’s be friends.
I love genuine people, beauty in the ordinary, and words that cause you to say aww or huh or hmm.
Whether writing about faith, life observations, travel, healthy living, or organization, I promise never to be boring and to always point you to something better.
Travel along with me on this blog journey. Life moves fast. Let's do this ride together.

Be inspired to take another step toward becoming you.

"This is SO ENCOURAGING because much of my life consists of the mundane tasks of carrying my own jar of water for Jesus - and it doesn't always seem particularly revolutionary or transformational for the kingdom of God. Yet like the gentleman in Luke 22, these small acts can have a tremendous impact. I thank God that He can take our loaves and fish and take them so much further than we could ever imagine!"

"Enjoyed your post ma'am. Most humans are naturally "wired" to be suspicious. I think it's a part of our fight or flight response. Loved your admonition to move from being "like the world" to being "like Christ." Well said author!"

“You asked if there is an ordinary person that inspires me and that would be my friend Debbie. She is an amazing person that I love dearly. She has one biological son, became a first-time grandma in November and has adopted four other children. Life is always busy for her but she still has time for me. She will call and if I don’t answer she will keep trying till she gets me. I get three times and if I don’t answer she is at my door to make sure I’m ok."
