In Matthew 5:13 -16, we’re told to be Salt & Light of the world. One morning, this scripture seemed to jump out of the Bible while I was studying. I pondered it and prayed about how I might be more salty and more luminous in my living.

It’s Fall, a season of change. The leaves are turning; nature is slowing down and preparing for winter’s rest; our hearts and minds are turning from the activities of summer; many are returning to school and other activities; and the excitement of the holiday season is beginning.

Are you grateful everyday?

When I’m not creating jewelry or running this small business, I spend time at my pond.

As a Christian, I use journaling to help me process my thoughts, feelings and emotions, in the hopes that on this journey I more fully live in accordance with God’s call on my life. I add journaling to my spiritual practices of prayer and bible study as a means of chronicling thoughts on my journey. As I seek to know God more, I seek to know myself more and align my spirit with His.   

How do I want to live in this new season of life, in what feels like a new house? I decided to build an art studio.

Has life, or circumstance, ever left you in a puddle on the floor?

Are you up for a challenge?

In the midst of the storm, Christ says “Peace, Be still.” and the wind and waves cease

not because the world says so

Someone told me once that if you hold on too tightly to what you have, God can’t give you the new thing He has for you. Open your hand.

I was raised in the church, so how can I say it's not a building. Then where was I going all those days?

Making memories that matter.

Spoiler alert: It’s NOT about YOU! Short answer: You are here for others.

Is it blankness, meditation, boredom…
