The Glorious Morning of Muffins

Because I’m addicted to muffins I wanted you to really be able to visualize the magnificence that is the Morning Glory Muffin, I’m doing somewhat of a repeat post. Aren’t I so thoughtful?  You don’t answer that.  Really. I shared this {favorite} recipe in June, but for some unknown reason only had phone-camera photos to […]

It’s A {Frog} Wrap

The lovely {brilliant, creative, beautiful} momma behind Second Nature Baby Wraps {who just happens to be one of my all time favorite people} knocked my socks off when she custom created a wrap for me to “wear” my son after he was born.  {It’s an absolute life-saver when you have a toddler to chase} While […]

Cute Stuff, The Kiddos

Say It in Style

Here are some spiffy shirts I designed a while back, for a sweet friend I’ve never met {isn’t it amazing how you can feel so connected to someone you’ve never met?!?}, inspired by the passage in Mark {10:7-9} where Jesus explains, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united […]

Coming Up For Air

In this house we do dishes, yes…   But we also do wild.  Unorthodox. We do mistakes. We do second chances. And third. And four hundred and seventy-ninth. *thankfully* We do silly. We do laughter. We do real. We do tomfoolery. {and plenty more mistakes} We do “I’m sorry’s”. {A lot of “I’m sorry’s”} We […]

I Don’t Know About A Cabana Boy…

But it would appear I have a wild-about-the-outdoors, rough-and-tumble Cabela Boy on my hands. When he’s not riding on the tractor or working in the man cave with his daddy, enjoying leaves and dirt for their unique tactile qualities, playing with his cars and making engine noises, or mounting something unstable and destined for disaster…he’s […]

Autumn Kissed Tilapia

The air is crisp, the leaves are every shade of awesome, and the sun continues to warmly kiss our cheeks.  Autumn glamour meets Indian Summer simplicity. I’m in! What’s a girl to cook when citrus hues are the color of choice, clean and crisp is the mode, and the gloriously stubborn summer sun refuses to […]

We’re Back!

and as socially challenged as ever! Well, not really. We did in fact leave our beautiful little room at the Weathervane Inn {which you’ll see more pictures of soon.  Whether you want to or not}. Some highlights from our delicious 51 hours away together include: 4 solid hours of car time without so much as […]

The enemy may wound. But he doesn't get to write t The enemy may wound.
But he doesn't get to write the ending.

Morgan's story includes abuse, betrayal, fear, and years of healing.

Yet today she spends her life loving vulnerable children, opening her home to foster kids, and building a family rooted in grace.

What could have broken her became
the very place God planted compassion.
That's redemption.
Not erasing the wound.
Not pretending it didn't happen.

But allowing God to grow something beautiful from what was meant to destroy.

Some stories are painful to tell. And some stories Some stories are painful to tell.
And some stories need to be told anyway.

This week on Oh, Good Grief, I'm joined by the lovely Morgan Brailley, a survivor, foster mama, adoptive mom, and living testimony to God's redemptive love.

Morgan shares her journey through abuse, trauma, healing, foster care, and the unexpected ways God can bring beauty from the deepest wounds.

This conversation is honest.
Tender. Hard.
And full of hope.

Because trauma may shape us,
but it does not get the final word.

🎙️ Episode 027 | When the Silence Breaks
  A Story of Abuse, Survival, and Redemptive Love

Grace and truth were never enemies in the life of Grace and truth
were never enemies in the life of Jesus.

He told the woman caught in adultery:
“Neither do I condemn you…
go and leave your life of sin.”

Mercy.
And honesty.
Together.

This week’s episode is about the rocks we carry—the anger, bitterness, judgment, and wounds we keep rehearsing long after the moment has passed.

Because sometimes the thing crushing our soul…
is the stone we refuse to put down.

Some wounds don’t leave us angry because they were Some wounds don’t leave us angry
because they were the worst thing that happened to us.
Sometimes they stay because they were the moment someone
stood close enough to see our pain… and still did nothing.

This week on the podcast, I’m talking about the rocks we carry—judgment, resentment, bitterness, offense—and the quiet ways they shape our souls over time.

This episode is deeply personal. Tender. Honest.

“Healing isn’t pretending it didn’t hurt. It’s ref “Healing isn’t pretending it didn’t hurt.
It’s refusing to let the wound become your identity.”

This week on the podcast, Dr. Ansonya Burke and I talk about forgiveness, leadership, emotional healing, and the sacred process of becoming whole after hard seasons.

There’s so much wisdom in this one.
Especially for the people quietly carrying more than anyone knows.

Some stories don’t end the way we expected. Some r Some stories don’t end the way we expected.
Some relationships fracture.
Some seasons unravel us completely.

But grace still has a way of writing beautiful endings.

In this deeply honest conversation, my dear friend Dr. Ansonya Burke shares about healing, forgiveness, wholeness, and learning how to release what no longer belongs in your hands.

This episode is tender, wise, and full of the kind of truth that only comes from walking through fire and finding God faithful in it.
