Queen Anne’s Lace & {Desktop} Wallpaper

Queen Anne’s Lace & {Desktop} Wallpaper

I got an email a couple of weeks ago from the owner of a little bed & breakfast nestled in the foothills of the mountains in upstate South Carolina.  It’s aptly called “The Queen’s Cottage”, and Queen Anne’s Lace is their “thing”. She had stumbled upon the ‘love story’ and photos I had posted last May and was hoping to… Read More

July {Desktop} Wallpaper

I’m in desperate need of a date with my camera.  In fact I’m hoping to squeeze one in tomorrow – with my kiddos – out on the railroad track near our house.  With a trunk.  At sunset.  woah, mama. I’ve never pulled off a “shoot” like this – perfect lighting, delicious loin-fruit {if I do say so myself}, surreal backdrop… Read More

I’m Alive!

We’ve been a busy bunch around here over the past two weeks! Between family festivities, the dynamic food-friends-fun combination, weeding and watering our growing veggie garden, multiple dips in the lake, our first camping trip, a week of recovery from laser eye surgery, and far too many trips to the Whippy Dip to mention, I haven’t had a moment to… Read More

Peonies & Aperture {& your June Desktop Wallpaper}

This is what happens when you put fuschia, aqua and avocado green in the same square foot. It creates beauty of epic proportion. When we were house hunting 3 years ago, anticipating my disappointment at the arrival of a new Spring without the 100+ tulips that I had grown accustomed to {and waited with baited breath for} that spilled out… Read More

Do Not Worry

“Do not worry about your life. Do not worry about what you are going to eat and drink. Do not worry about what you are going to wear. Is not life more important than food? Is not the body more important than clothes?  Look at the birds in the sky. They do not plant seeds. They do not gather grain…. Read More

Letting Myself Off the Hook

I am so enjoying life right now.  Soaking in my little ones.  Chillin’ with my man.  Connecting with family and friends.  Digging into some really interesting books {3 paragraphs at a time}.  Purging my cupboards and the forgotten corners of my house and shipping boxes off to Goodwill.  Occasionally trying new recipes – just because I want to, or sitting… Read More

When we pick up gorgeous, deep red leaves from the ground during fall, or catch the intricacies of the perfect snowflake on a black-sweatered arm in the chill of winter, it is here that we cultivate an awe for our Creator in their tender hearts.  In chalk Bible stories sketched out on the driveway, alongside scribbled hop scotch squares.  Or… Read More

How's your internal monologue? Be brutally honest How's your internal monologue?
Be brutally honest here.

Are you actually kind to yourself?
Do you practice curiosity + compassion
when your emotions + responses catch you
off guard and feel oversized for the occasion?

Are you patient and gracious with your soul's
long + messy journey of growth and healing?

Are you gentle with your heart when you mess up?
Or, do you instantly shift to shaming + blaming?

Is self-loathing a constant (albeit unwanted)
companion who lingers in the corner just
waiting for an invitation to show up with
cruel words, gasoline and a match?

For many of us, if we talked to our dearest
friends the way we talk to ourselves...
well, we wouldn't have many.

Go ahead and read that again.
Let it sink in.

/ / /

Consider this a gentle reminder
to be tender with yourself.
Speak life to your own soul.
Always, always, always be kind.

We are never more like the enemy of our souls than
when we assume the role of accuser + condemner.

Catch every negative, shaming thought you have
and see if it aligns with how God sees you (and others).

If it isn't good, kind, hopeful, constructive, grace-laced and restorative, then it doesn't belong in your head + heart.

You are, after all, allowed to be both a mess and
a masterpiece...all at the very same time.

You are so loved.
Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty. But befo Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty.
But before the resurrection, there was a towel.

In John 13, just hours before the cross,
Jesus doesn’t assert power, He kneels.
He washes the feet of Peter.
He washes the feet of Judas.
He loves them to the end.

🎙️ Episode 017 | The Jesus Way is live.

What does it look like to choose love in the middle
of betrayal, grief, disagreement, and struggle?
The way of Jesus isn’t flashy.
 It’s faithful.

So very thankful for the life that came from his d So very thankful for the life
that came from his death.

May you know how wildly, wholly
and wonderfully you are loved…

“This is how much God loved the world:
He gave his Son, his one and only Son.
And this is why: so that no one need be
destroyed; by believing in him, anyone
can have a whole and lasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of
sending his Son merely to point an
accusing finger, telling the world
how bad it was. He came to help,
to put the world right again.”

John 3:16-17 | The Message

#GoodFriday #ItIsFinished

📷 Levi Lusko
Boundaries are not the opposite of love. They are Boundaries are not the opposite of love.
They are often the evidence of it.

Jesus touched lepers.
He wept with friends.
He restored the broken.

But He also corrected boldly.
He withdrew intentionally.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.

You can forgive someone
without restoring immediate proximity.
You can love someone
without giving them full access to your life.

Episode 016 | Grace + Guardrails is available now.

Love does not require unlimited access. In Episod Love does not require unlimited access.

In Episode 016 of Oh, Good Grief, we explore what Jesus
actually modeled when it comes to boundaries.

He loved everyone.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.
He was full of grace and truth.
He welcomed the crowds, but confided in the few.

In a world that demands access to our time, energy, and heart, this episode unpacks what it looks like to forgive without naivety, love without losing discernment, and practice grace with guardrails.

Healing after betrayal isn’t linear. It’s messy. Healing after betrayal isn’t linear.

It’s messy.
It’s exhausting.
And sometimes it feels impossible.

In this conversation, Lisa Devine shares what it actually looked like to rebuild a marriage after infidelity: the boundaries, the brutal honesty, the forgiveness that had to be chosen again and again.

But more than anything,
it’s a story about the quiet ways God shows up
when everything feels shattered.
