Ever totally fall in love with someone’s heart, develop the sweetest friendship over time…and never actually meet face-to-face? I love those unique heart connections that are made in unlikely ways, triggered by an encouraging email or a business-related phone call from across the miles.  It’s those sweet moments that weave two hearts together without groundwork […]

Keep Moving {Printable}

Ever feel out of balance?  Like a half-baked, multi-tasking failure? Hmm.  Me to.  While donning my wife hat, I strap on my momma bonnet and nestle on top of that my professional sombrero…then I attempt to keep my balance atop of this colorful unicycle of life, while juggling school and friends and church and laundry […]

Puddle Jumpers

Our kids love water. They have always loved water. Especially when it resides in LARGE quantities in places OTHER than bathtubs and swimming pools. and when it involves shedding all clothes and decency and making as much mess as possible without having to clean an ounce of it back up. If it get gross and […]

Hello Spring {Free Printable}

It’s official.  Spring will be coming to Michigan this side of sometime. And there is much rejoicing in our household over this rock solid fact.  Kids here and there have been flinging off their winter boots in favor of too-tiny flip flips, ripping out bathing suits and entering ice-crusted puddles with nothing more than pajama […]

We spend so much of life celebrating spring, the n We spend so much of life celebrating spring,
the new, the young, the beginning.

But autumn carries a glory of its own.

The turning leaves don’t apologize for their season.
They burn brighter because of it.

This is their Prime Time.

There is no expiration date on purpose.
No age limit on transformation.
No season where God stops inviting us deeper.

If there is breath in your lungs,
God is not done with you yet.

🎧 Hear more about my parents' Prime Time ministry,
inspired by the glory of the Autumn leaves, in episode 013 of
Oh, Good Grief | Courage, Cancer, and the Colors of Autumn
She taught me that the later seasons of life are n She taught me that the later seasons of life
are not a winding down,
they are a rising up.

She chose courage when fear would have been easier.
Healing when hiding would have been safer.
Freedom when settling would have been quieter.

🎧 Listen in to part 2 of my conversation with my mom,
Oh, Good Grief | Episode 013, wherever you find your podcasts.
Some seasons ask more of us than we ever thought w Some seasons ask more of us than we ever thought we could give.

This week on Oh, Good Grief, my mom and I continue our conversation - this time about courage, caregiving, and walking through the wilderness of illness without losing hope.

We talk about my dad’s cancer, the sacred weight of loving someone through suffering, and the quiet strength that emerges when faith is no longer theoretical, it’s necessary.

There is a kind of courage that doesn’t look flashy.
 It looks like staying. Trusting. Loving anyway.

There is something sacred about watching someone r There is something sacred about watching
someone refuse to stop growing.

My mom has spent her life pursuing freedom, truth,
and deeper intimacy with God - not perfectly, but faithfully.

She reminds me that formation doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens through ordinary days, unexpected detours,
and quiet obedience.

We don’t become who we’re meant to be overnight.
We become, slowly, as we trust Him with our story.

 Episode 012 of Oh, Good Grief.

Some of the people who shape us most don’t just pr Some of the people who shape us most
don’t just preach grace, they live it.

This week on Oh, Good Grief, I’m joined by my beautiful momma for Part 1 of a two-part conversation.

She has stood on stages, taught Scripture, and poured her life into others for decades - but more than anything, she has embodied a faith that keeps growing, keeps trusting, and keeps saying yes to God’s invitation into deeper freedom.

We talk about failure, formation, leaving home and finding it again,
and the quiet ways God builds a life across continents and decades.

Her story has shaped mine in more ways than I can count.

#OhGoodGrief #FormationInTheFire #FaithfulStill
God delights in using the overlooked. The ordinary God delights in using the overlooked. The ordinary.
The ones who feel too fragile to carry anything valuable.

Pressed, but not crushed.
Perplexed, but not in despair.
Struck down, but not destroyed.

Because it has never been about the strength of the container.
It’s about the treasure inside.

God doesn’t wait for confidence.
He supplies presence.

In the Gospels, a massive crowd gathers around Jes In the Gospels, a massive crowd gathers around Jesus, hungry and in need. The disciples see what’s lacking. But a little boy steps forward with what he has: five loaves and two fish.

Small. Simple. Not enough.

And Jesus multiplies it - enough to feed the masses.

God isn’t asking you to provide a banquet.
He’s asking you to bring what’s already in your hands.
