Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in life as a wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend.....Hope you enjoy your time with me!
You learned early that being useful made you safe. But what if stillness isn’t dangerous—just unfamiliar? This letter is for the little girl learning that love doesn’t require performance.
Quiet time didn’t fix my life. It didn’t save my marriage. It didn’t prevent grief or loss or heartbreak. But it planted seeds of hope in my darkest seasons — and somehow, that was enough to keep me here.
You don’t need a candle, a journal, or perfect words to be with God. You just need to show up as you are. Faith isn’t about doing it right — it’s about staying in the conversation long enough to discover you were never alone.
You don’t need a perfect routine to be close to God. You need a real relationship. This Dear Little Girl is a reminder that faith isn’t built on formulas — it’s built on showing up as yourself.
Some of the most important things in life don’t grow louder with pressure — they grow steadier with time. A Dear Little Girl devotional on faith, parenting, healing, and trusting what God is doing beneath the surface.
Twenty-five years of marriage holds both beauty and brokenness. In this anniversary reflection, I share what rain, tides, and quiet moments taught me about love, trust, boundaries, and hope—this side of heaven. A story of staying, growing, and learning to breathe again.
Whole doesn’t mean perfect or untouched.
It means nothing missing.
Nothing broken.
A heart that gets to live inside safety.
The house is quiet now. One son has already left, another will leave soon. And the miracle I prayed for — all of us together — came and went faster than I expected. This reflection is a reminder that the real gift of Christmas isn’t what we open, but the present moment we’re willing to receive.
Christmas Eve holds joy and ache at the same time. This gentle devotional is an invitation to pause, release the pressure to do more, and let this moment be enough—for now.
There are days when loving deeply feels heavy and surrender feels impossible. This Dear Little Girl devotional is an invitation to loosen your grip, trust God with the ones you love, and remember that He has been holding the story all along.
So many women are hustling not out of passion—but out of fear. Fear of not enough. Fear of being abandoned. Fear that rest will cost them everything. This Dear Little Girl devotional is an invitation to stop punishing your body and start trusting that you are safe—even when you pause.
Grace doesn’t always arrive with confidence. Sometimes it grows quietly — in awkward seasons, humble learning, and holy in-between moments where God is still at work.
hen old dreams stir old wounds, God may be pulling something far deeper into the light—so He can finally set you free. This devotional walks through emotional whiplash, healing, EMDR, and the tender ways God rewrites the old stories we once carried in our bodies.
A gentle re-introduction to my morning quiet time practice with God—the two chairs, the coffee, the stillness, and the way this simple daily rhythm continues to heal and steady me. If you’re walking through uncertainty, heartbreak, or rebuilding, this is an invitation to pull up a chair and meet God in the quiet.
This past week brought both celebration and challenge — a kindness award that humbled me and a hurting friend who needed compassion. This devotional explores what it means to hold joy and responsibility at the same time, carrying God’s kindness into the places that need it most.
Today would have been my daddy’s 90th birthday, and my heart feels tender in all the best and hardest ways. As I look back, I see how the strength and grace he lived were planted quietly inside me long before I ever needed them. This devotional is a reminder that God uses pain to teach us how to stand taller — with courage, softness, and hope.
After the noise and fullness of Thanksgiving, this devotional is an invitation to breathe, rest, and let your heart lean toward hope again. A gentle reminder that gratitude doesn’t always roar—sometimes it rises quietly as God transforms you from the inside out.
This Thanksgiving devotional invites you to pause, breathe, and steady your heart through gratitude. Even in seasons of uncertainty, God’s grace quietly strengthens and transforms us. A reminder that you are growing, held, and deeply loved.
You’re not the girl who had to hustle for worth anymore. You’re the woman God is reshaping—breathing deeper, reacting slower, shedding old stories, and letting Him lift the weight you were never meant to carry. This week’s Dear Little Girl reminds you: healing is real, growth is sacred, and you don’t have to break to stay loved.
You don’t have to disappear to protect your peace, and you don’t have to perform to be loved. Growth happens in the pause — the holy space where God meets you, calms you, and teaches you how to respond instead of react.
