Beyond The Worn & Torn Of Life.

Imagine slowly walking up an old, creaky and jaded staircase in a Victorian-style mansion that consequently, once at the top, advances down a bare corridor with nothing but a few ancient wardrobes and largely pinned up frames against the wall in an orderly manner, taking step after step until ending at an old-fashioned door a …

Gratitude Journal Prompt

Hi, friends! I started doing journal prompt challenges last year around this time and thought it'd be fun to start it back up again. Seeking to have a spirit of gratitude through every circumstance + situation has a been a major theme in my life throughout this year. It's something we must continually be reminded …

the first snowfall

mysteriously cold days as this one has my heart wishing for the warmth of summer... however, I am growing quite fond of allowing a hot cup of coffee to warm me from the inside out + settling in a cozy corner while outside a blanket of white crisp layers across the soiled ground before I …

1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. Can I share a struggle of mine with you, today? God has been tugging on my heart to share this, so here is a real, raw part of who I am that you may not entirely agree with, but …
