 Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays. The fun of the moment is having the ability to stuff your face with as much food as you can without a care in the world. ( I love my mom's homemade turkey gravy and pour it over almost everything on my multi-sectioned plate.)      All laughs placed aside, this year has been devastating for a lot of families. The world has weathered countless storms as a whole; our surroundings are delving deeper into places of evil unrest and division as the days continue.  We are instructed and encouraged to be grateful for each passing moment and to live with an appreciative spirit for every bit of goodness that God gives us; those small acts of provision that we so often take for granted.  We live in such a world of entitlement.  Learn to live patiently in the moment and be grateful for time spent with family. Leave the world outside for one day, taking the time to savor His precious blessings.  Always remember...

 "Be thankful for your rest".... Those words have truly resonated with my heart ever since listening to them for the first time during a recent Wednesday evening church service.  I have SO much to be thankful for. I have held such wonderful peace in my heart and mind for so many weeks now....I am immensely thankful for the rest that Jesus has given me.  I am grateful for the little normal everyday things in life such as waking up at 6 AM to watch the sunrise; to have the opportunity to enjoy a morning nap if one is needed.  To care about my home and to love the space I'm in, to find joy in every single part of my day.....is a tremendous blessing that I will never ever take for granted.  It is still strange to think of how different my days were at one point. I love to write. I love to tell stories. I love serving Jesus. I couldn't imagine living without Him.  The blog pulled me through my darkest of days. It came into my life when I really needed something ...

There is always endless beauty to be discovered as the seasons truly begin to turn; to me, nothing is prettier than those wild and wonderful West Virginia fall months. As much as I am loving change at the moment, I'll admit that I'm just the same as everyone else. We can all be such creatures of habit. However, it can be quite the interesting experience to uncover an all new way of living.  While in the process of placing this message together, I couldn't help but think of those who are finding themselves to be helplessly empty; those who are in desperate need of the remedy of salvation. So many in our world today are experiencing deep-rooted devastation in the midst of an aimless search for purposeful fulfillment and a place of rest for their weary souls. Those temporal sort of remedies that exist in the world will never reach down below the surface of the heart; none of them could ever provide the sort of peace that radiates from within. Only Jesus has the power to do tha...

  Hey there!  I'm quite uncertain as to how to begin this post; so much about my life has changed all in the span of three and a half weeks. It has been the most wonderful blessed whirlwind of an experience and I'm slowly adjusting to a new and unfamiliar sense of normalcy.  Some of you know that I was officially diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome in March of 2020. (It is a common endocrine disorder that affects women of childbearing age and results in hormonal imbalances and fertility issues.)  My health began rapidly deteriorating in the spring; the situation only continued to worsen throughout the summer. A CT scan in May showed cysts on both ovaries; with the addition of constant fatigue, hot flashes, abdominal and pelvic pain, debilitating brain fog and irritability...it all made creating anything an impossible task.  I was placed on an all new treatment at the beginning of October and it has completely changed my existence for the better.  It ...
