Bushwalk at Noosa Heads

One year ago today we took a walk along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean.  Perhaps the Lord knew he had to get me Down Under, upside-down and that far away to do a deep work.  It was a walk that changed me forever.  I’ve been slow to share our journey because I didn’t want  to share stories without them …

Process and Prolongivity: The Story of a Settee

About five years ago, I found it. I was scrolling through the antique section on Craigslist and landed on a reasonably priced settee.  Accompanied by a racing heart, I showed my husband the photo of the settee that was begging to become mine.

After about six months into blogging, I was starting to timidly take flight.  Gaining confidence in my …

The Passover Lamb

This year, Good Friday falls on the Jewish calendar on the first day of Passover.  I really wish our Christian calendar followed heed every year to this Jewish holiday. Because before the foundations of the world were laid, He knew He would offer up His life during Passover.  Everything God does is with purpose.  The intentional hands that drew up …
