What I’ve learned about the Mountains…
The collage above is made from some pictures we took on our cross country trip last summer. Those images stay strong in my mind as I'm wrestling with some issues. I'm linking up with Crystal Stine for Behind the Scenes! I was chatting with some friends recently about love and respect. Do they go hand and hand? Is one fully given and one fully...
Five Minute Friday: Hero
Hey! It’s Five Minute Friday with Lisa-Jo Baker and the prompt today is the word Hero! According to the Merriam Webster online dictionary, a hero is a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities. Boy, that word brave just keeps hollering to me.

When I wrote that post I had no idea what God had in store. I just knew He had something for me to do, and a big plan for me...
I’m Rethinking this whole “God has a plan for you!” Idea…
I’ve been reading The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson. There are some powerful lessons in that book, my friends. I’ve realized that I have been drawing circles for years. I just never thought so deeply about it as Mark. And I definitely never used “the circle” terminology. The way he sheds light on the area of prayer is just the encouragement I...
