Waiting that Becomes Rest – and an invitation to the 7 Day Detox!
When Waiting Becomes Rest I sat with my computer on my lap and Google at my fingertips. Surly this search would come up fruitful and all of my heart troubles would be alleviated by one confirmation from the ever knowledgeable, all knowing search engine. I typed in this phrase into the little box with the […]
Freedom from the Screen
Be still. BE still. BE. STILL. It started out as a whisper and then gently got louder. This went on way longer than I would like to admit, for years even, and often daily. I would hear it when I would mindlessly scroll throughout my day. My husband and I both felt it, even as […]
Rhythms of Rest
The Rhythms of Rest “So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.”– Heb. 4:11 NLT In the Bible we are told to strive for two things. The first is to enter by the narrow gate (Luke 13:24) and […]
Bold from the Depths
Go Forth From The Depths When we started Bold in the Soul this month I was, admittedly, a bit confused by what it meant. I know how to be bold, that’s for sure! But the word “soul” in combination with bold became an elusive term to me. As one who grasps tightly to context, I […]
Declarations of the Bold In the Soul
*Post updated May 2024 Bold and Meek I love the word BOLD. It captures the essence of everything that makes my heart smile. Bold paint colors in my art. Bold print on my workout pants.

Garage Doors
I don’t remember much of my childhood, but I do remember the freedom we had to run around the neighborhood. We spent the days riding our bikes up and down the street to each other’s houses. We were the girl version of the movie Stand By Me or The Sandlot. We would walk in the […]
Community That Strengthens Our Hearts
As I sat down to write, I began to question what I have to say that would be worthy of your valuable time. What could I write that would inspire you and strengthen your desire for deep, rich, Godly relationships? To be completely transparent, I just wanted you to like what I had to say, […]
Raising Arrows
“Children are a heritage from the Lord; offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.” Psalm 127:3-4 I will never forget the day I told my husband that I was pregnant with our first child. We were still in college and had our […]
Love Is A Violent Act of War
Better Together – the Power of Marriage First of all, we need to agree that every single one of us is broken. Yes, we know your spouse is more broken and we’re sure you can prove it, but so are you. Before reading any further, there must be agreement on this point. Repeat after us: […]
