In Indiana, spring has been late in arriving. Finally, in the last week, it has exploded on the scene. I’m still waiting for my irises to bloom, but the trees are fully decked out…vivid colors…delicate blooms, green leaves stretching out to touch the sky… It’s a time of fresh beginnings. That may be why spring is one of my favorite seasons. Sometimes …
This last month I’ve missed events in my kids’ lives because a calling meant I couldn’t be in two places at the same time. Just the other night my husband and I were talking about the importance of not devaluing calling yet achieving balance in all areas. The next day I saw a post on Facebook from singer Meredith Andrews. In …
I’m in a season of questions. What does the future hold for me after the M.B.A. is finished? Where should I invest my time and energy in the next months and years? Where do I find my passion in this season of life? So many questions. And so much silence. It feels like I’m in a holding pattern with the …
Ever run across something and think, “Thank You, God, for the reminder,”? That’s what I thought when I was scrolling through my creations and stumbled upon this one. Enough. It’s such a struggle for women. And I needed the reminder of the prayer I’d typed on there. That’s what I want to be: enough to accomplish His purpose. And sometimes …

Now he did…and he was committed. Chapter Five: I developed an understanding of who Jesus was and why I would want to follow Him. …
In January I shared a Bible Reading plan that I’m using this year. You can read that post here. As often happens, the best laid plans fall apart thanks to life. I did really well with the plan through January…and then February happened. I’m not sure what about this month threw a terrible hiccup in my reading plan, but it …
Over at the GROVE, my writer sisters Beth Vogt and Katherine Reay are sharing their hearts about what it was like to discover that God love them. Kristy Cambron and Katie Ganshert shared their stories too. Isn’t there such power in that thought… God so loved me… He reached down across eternity for you…for me. He knew before He created …
Why do I chose to write stories? There is an insatiable need to be known and understood. Stories…novels…allow us to learn deep lessons. To understand the past and learn from it. To see inside others and in the process learn something about ourselves. Your Story Matters…join @theGROVE_story girls tonight as we talk about stories & faith. 8 p.m. EST Click To Tweet That’s …
Today begins a new week. One filled with opportunities. Chances to walk in grace or be shackled to the past. Opportunities to keep company with Christ or struggle along on our own. My prayer for each of us is that we will embrace the unforced rhythms of grace. That we will learn to live freely and lightly in Christ. That …
