Excuses, Updates and an ATW Guest Post

Contrary to what a lack of posts for almost a week may depict, I’m alive and semi-well.  Emphasis on semi. Our wee babes and I are all fighting colds, a sinus infection and an ear infection {nicely distributed between the three of us}.  Life is peachy!  Speaking of peaches…our little tree is dropping gorgeous, juicy peaches daily and I’ve been… Read More

At The Well: Guest Post {2 Ears, 1 Mouth}

I get that mixed up on occasion.  I tend to live the Picasso life…as though my face boasted two mouths and one little ear.  And I mean little. The book of James is a fabulous {challenging…convicting} reminder to tend to the often malfunctioning filter on my flapping tongue, and to open my ears instead… {read this guest post here}

At The Well: Guest Post {Perfect Peace}

Yes, you’ve seen this photo before!  I love it!  And I couldn’t wait until this guest post was published, so I turned it into August’s desktop wallpaper and shared it 2 weeks ago! Impatient…who me? Do you struggle with trusting God?  With every thing? With the big things?  And the small?  And the everyday, seemingly-trivial details of life? Marinade your… Read More

At The Well: Guest Post {plus August Desktop Wallpaper}

Do the words ‘weary’ and ‘burdened’ resonate at all with you? They sure do with me!  And quite possibly every other human being I know. Here’s a good reminder for you: At The Well: Guest Post   Want another reminder to help keep your heart nestled safely in the hands of God, rather than caught up in the tizzy of… Read More

At The Well: Guest Post {The Ultimate Plan Review}

I’m a born list maker.  A passionate, type-A list maker. The need for uncluttered organization in my life is evidenced by the sheer quantity of baskets and totes I own.  They neatly hold my household together behind the scenes. Purging, cleaning and organization thrill me to no end.  Maybe it’s the sense of peace it provides in the daily whirl… Read More

Inner Fulfillment: Ek-Spek-Tey-Shuhn

Revisit a previous post of mine {one of my favorite 25, in fact} right here at Inner Fulfillment today! “A Godly woman is one who possesses inner peace and tranquility: she doesn’t have to prove herself to anyone. Neither does she depend on recognition from others. Hers is an inner contentment and satisfaction based not on accomplishments, position, or authority;… Read More

At The Well: Guest Post

Ever find yourself biting your tongue, counting your breaths, as you fight the urge to spew, with full-force, the bubbling cauldron of frustration brewing just beneath the surface, as you stare your toddler…your husband… the culprit down? Yeah, me neither. {Ahem} Join us as we look at these wise words in Proverbs…At The Well.

Are you always the one checking in, showing up, re Are you always the one checking in, showing up,
remembering the details, and making sure everyone else is okay?

Maybe you've wondered why asking for help feels so much harder than offering it.

This week on Oh, Good Grief, we're exploring the Enneagram Type Two (The Helper or Befriender)...how our greatest gifts can become survival strategies, why people-pleasing often has deeper roots than we realize, and how the Gospel gently reminds us that we don't have to earn the love we've already been given.

If you've ever believed your value comes from what you do for others,
I hope this conversation reminds you of something better:

You are not loved because you serve. You serve because you are loved.

What if the Enneagram isn't about discovering your What if the Enneagram isn't about discovering your personality...
but uncovering your survival strategy, and finding freedom and wholeness.

Today we're kicking off a summer series on Oh, Good Grief exploring the Enneagram through the lens of grief, trauma, healing, and the Gospel.

This isn't a series about labels or stereotypes. It's about understanding the stories we've believed, the coping strategies we've developed, and the invitation God extends to each of us to live in greater freedom.

Whether you've known your number for years or you're not sure what all the Enneagram fuss is about, I hope you'll join me for the journey.

The world tells us to be productive. Jesus often i The world tells us to be productive.
Jesus often invited people to be present.

This week's episode, inspired by Theo of Golden,
is about slowing down long enough to notice the birdsong, the feather on the path, the hurting friend, the image of God in another person.

Because sometimes the most sacred work isn't accomplishing.
It's paying attention.

Because people are rarely changed by being impress Because people are rarely changed by being impressed,
they are changed by being seen.

Perhaps the most Christlike thing you can do this week
is simply pay attention. To God. To beauty.
To the person in front of you.

The world has enough people rushing through it.
Be the kind of person who notices.

#TheoOfGolden #OhGoodGriefPodcast
I finished a book recently, and instead of closing I finished a book recently,
and instead of closing the cover and moving on,
I found myself carrying it around in my heart.

Not just because of the story.
But because of the main character.

Theo of Golden left me asking a question I can't shake:
What kind of person am I becoming?

The kind who hurries?
Or the kind who notices?
The kind who is quick to fix?
Or the kind who simply stays?

This week's episode is a reflection on the sacred art of noticing,
the beauty in ordinary places, the gold hidden in people,
and the Christlike practice of being fully present.

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.
