Taking a Step Back to Remember a Huge God Moment in my Life
THIS is one thing I want to make sure to document from 2020. As I prepared my first email of the new year, I realized I had posted my miraculous cancer update everywhere but on the blog. So... here's to taking a step back and remembering a huge God moment in my life....

What a year this has been so far! School starts this week for Olivia, and it is looking quite different than what we had anticipated. I’m sharing how Eddie and I made a big decision last spring and how it’s unfolding now in our current crisis situation. And… I’m sharing an amazing way to pray when you are looking for God in the craziness of life.
The Journey of Tracking God Through My Difficult Year
I want to share something with you that I think will encourage your faith SO MUCH! Last week I had the honor of being interviewed by my friend, Cheri Fletcher, about how I use my journal to track God. Cheri wrote a follow-up email that beautifully illustrates the power of telling God, “I know you see me, AND… I want you to know… I see YOU. You will be blessed!!
Praying with Gratitude Even When Life is Hard
It can be hard to realize that God has a beautiful plan for our lives when we end up stuck in an uncomfortable holding pattern. How can you ignite a spark of hope in the midst of waiting and suffering? What can you do to stay anchored to your faith when you feel like life has stalled? I’m hoping to offer some encouragement as I share about my last week and reflect on the faithfulness of God throughout my life.

I’m sharing a glimpse into my own journey of making the effort to listen well. In other words—I blew it last week, but I’m thankful for fresh starts and more chances to quickly mend the fences!
