“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry” (Of Mice and Men). Truer words, right? If you had asked me 15 years ago where I would be today, my answer would certainly not reflect the season where I am and the path God has led me down to get here. The Designer of [...]
Hi, friends! Please join us THIS Saturday at the Barnes & Noble (at Lakeline Crossing) for the Building Circles of Grace book release party! I am a hot mess of a mama, so I know what it is to feel so overwhelmed by life and struggle not to be overtaken by the frantic pace of [...]
Yesterday was a big day. Building Circles of Grace, the second Bible study in the Girls of Grace Bible study series celebrated her book birthday, and it was wonderful! Better than wonderful actually. Friends cheered and shared. New friends reached out and connected. God's presence was felt. Yet, at the end of the day, I [...]
Hello, my friends. It's been a while since I've had the energy and time to really sit and write. After the Girls of Grace Ministries' mom/tween daughter retreat--which was AMAZING--I jumped head first into preparing for our family trip to Israel.

When I was seven months pregnant with my oldest daughter, my PC (Prince Charming) was laid off from work. What should have been a stressful situation actually became a blessing in disguise when our baby girl was delivered by emergency c-sestion four weeks early. PC went back to work after she was born, and life [...]
Let today, tomorrow and the days that follow be filled with kind words and encouragement, and let it begin with me, Lord. May God bless you all mightily as you begin your busy week!
At the beginning of each week, I look through my schedule and process where I need to be for the next seven days and what I want to accomplish. This typically happens on Sunday shortly after a quick reprieve from the previous week while I'm still on that high from the message I heard at [...]
Snow Day. That's a phrase we don't hear very often in this part of Texas, and we've heard it twice in less than a week. Yes, my "to do" list is so long that I could wrap it around myself like a mummy. You know what, though? Today, who cares? Clearly from the photo below, [...]
