My friend Katie and I talk about how sometimes circumstances in our lives “kick the bucket” of our hearts and cause what’s already in there to spill out. It’s not that the ugly wasn’t there all along–it just hadn’t been exposed. I feel like the events of the last few weeks have kicked our nation’s collective bucket and our mess or racial disunity (which has been there so long) is spilled out in front of us. We can tiptoe...
Hello friends! There are many things marinating in my heart and my blog drafts folder, but none of them are quite ready to share, so today I’m simply sharing this coloring page with you. I illustrated this verse as the start of a Scripture card set on our value in Christ. What other verses would you include in that set? This printable Bible coloring page is from Ephesians 2:10.

Every once in a while I like to do a “heard around here” blog post. I jot down funny things my kids say (most coming from my now-five-year-old Anna), so here they are along with some glimpses into our family life. Me: Anna, put on some socks! Anna: All I have is...
Tulip image courtesy of Twiggy Posts Only your Creator can tell you who you are. This is the truth that’s been ringing in my ears lately.
