Home is one of God's good gifts, but it was never meant to be our ultimate hope. Discover how keeping Christ at the center reshapes the way we create, cultivate, and steward the spaces we've been entrusted with, so that our homes become quiet reflections of His Kingdom.
Have you ever had a well-meaning question leave you feeling like you’re somehow falling behind? How quickly something meant to bring us joy and wonder can become a sign that we aren't doing enough and we lose sight of the beauty right in front of us. This week's reflection is an invitation to let go of the pressure of "more" and rediscover the joy and wonder of what's already growing.
We dreamed of having a patio that invited us to linger - a place for morning coffee, summer dinners, and spontaneous gatherings with friends. With a few thoughtful changes, we created an outdoor space that feels welcoming, functional, and ready to be enjoyed all summer long.
A little over a year ago, I realized something I didn't expect and it changed everything. This is the story of that realization, the space needed for true growth and transformation, and some of the tools and practices that have helped me along this journey of becoming.
When we first bought our home, we had a vision and an ambitious six-month renovation plan. But what we thought would be a quick project turned into a year-and-a-half journey filled with dust, delays, and more than a few unexpected challenges. Along the way, we discovered that creating a home isn't just about paint colors and floor plans - it's about learning patience, embracing slow progress, and finding joy in the journey. Come inside and join me as I share the story of how this house slowly became home.
Three years ago, we took a leap of faith and said yes to a home that would change our lives in ways we never expected. In today's post I share the story behind our home and how God was at work through every uncertainty, closed door, and unexpected turn along the way.
In this week’s post, I’m sharing a slightly embarrassing confession - and the unexpected lesson it taught me about striving, perfection, and learning to choose the best thing over “the everything."
What if finding community starts with you? In a season of longing for connection, I discovered that meaningful friendships often begin with one small, brave step -going first. This is a story about loneliness, invitation, and the beauty of building community around the table.
