Christmas is almost here. Can you believe it? I'm still wrapping presents and we even have a few gifts left to purchase. But we're almost done. And I suppose that's good since our family celebrations begin Monday. I've read some wonderful posts over the past few weeks about preparing your heart for Christmas and I wanted to share them with you. It's so easy to be distracted by all that needs to be done and miss the one needful thing. I journaled about my struggle with this very thing ... [Read More]
Christmas Home Tour 2014
Hey y'all! Tomorrow night I'm hosting a little party for my Bible study group. I love having people in my home ... and I wish I could just bring all of you over one afternoon for some coffee and conversation. Wouldn't that be amazing? One of my very favorite bloggers, Myquillin Smith {otherwise known as The Nester} has these saying I adore: It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. Isn't that awesome news?! I don't know about you but neither me nor my home are ever perfect. But my ... [Read More]
10 Great Christmas Books
Remember how I said I haven't been online much lately because when there are a few spare moments I'd rather read a book?

These are great Christmas books — fiction, nonfiction, devotional, advent ... a little ... [Read More]
When It All Feels Impossible
November was a blur around here ... we're full speed into basketball season and Christmas preparations and the occasional quiet moment when I could write a blog post but decide I'd rather indulge in a book. It's likely this month will be about the same .... I've got a few posts in mind but for the most part, I'm choosing to be offline more than on. And I'm really hoping you will do the same! I am doing something special on Facebook {because I do manage to check in there and on Instagram ... [Read More]
Choose the Moment
Oh my word, y'all! How has it been over a week since I last wrote? I wish I could tell you it's because I've been busy decorating for the holidays and I have some easy but awesome ideas to share ... or because I was inspired to start sewing again ... or because Scott had whisked me off for a week-long trip to the mountains. {A girl can dream, right?} But really, all that's been happening here is the same mundane stuff of life that you deal with also. As I sit here looking out the window at ... [Read More]
Happy Easter!
It's Easter Sunday, or Resurrection Sunday if you prefer. Lots of families will be waking up early to watch children peer into Easter baskets filled with special reminders of how much they are loved. Moms will be putting hams and scalloped potatoes in ovens and finishing up deviled eggs. Pastors will put final touches on sermons and prepare to share the promise of salvation with the larger-than-normal crowds. After church, families will gather around tables overflowing with food. Children ... [Read More]
