While trying to take a photo in the middle of the road this car came around the corner and almost hit me. I starting laughing when I saw myself staring them down and then I began to examine the picture a little closer. God began to speak four words over me: STAY IN YOUR LANE. I’m in a transitional season of life and while this concept is difficult no matter where you’re at, it’s especially difficult in a season of change and waiting. You look around at the calling on other people’s live and begin to ask yourself, “maybe that’s what I’m supposed to doRead More →

Ellie Claire – Gift & Paper Expression did a fantastic job with these journals. They are beautifully designed and illustrated. I was thoroughly impressed with the detail and clear thought put into every page. I was captivated throughout the entirety of each journal. These journals are well made, each coming with an elastic pen holder and high-quality paper. Although they are all amazing my favorite is the Faith & Lettering Journal. It has multiple sections for every aspect of hand lettering. There are sections with pre-made quotes with a space to trace the design and three spaces to practice it on your own. It alsoRead More →

It’s a natural tendency for us to fast forward to the worst case scenario. When we get bad test results, look at our bank accounts or just live in regret, all of us have felt the like weight of the world is on our shoulders…or in our hands.  I was grocery shopping at a store that has a scale as you enter and leave. You know those old school scales, the kind with the large face with the arrow that turns like a dial? As I was leaving the store, I decided to weigh myself. Of course, the scale was completely wrong! I couldn’t possiblyRead More →

Have you ever faced something really hard? I think all of us have. Sunday night, Keri and I started our drive to a friend’s house near the hospital where our youngest son would have a procedure to repair his heart. It was quiet and I reached over to hold Keri’s hand. Soon I noticed the tears. She said, “I don’t want to do this.” It’s like the feeling of entering dark woods. We knew the next few days would be tough, and we hoped it wouldn’t be as hard as our minds made it, praying we would find the strength to endure. It’s a newRead More →

Keri & I were sitting outside last week, drinking our coffee. It was a strange morning. The sun was shining brightly but the air was cold. She looked at me & said, “This is how I feel, too. The sun feels good, it’s warm…you almost forget what the temperature is but then the wind blows & reminds me…it’s cold.” It was a difficult week. I’m sure you’ve had them as well. Life can seem like a cold wind, chilling you to the bone. And if you rely on the wind to tell you how you feel, well, you’ll always be cold. But, if you closeRead More →
