Hello, friends! It's hard to believe another year has gone by but here we are celebrating Christmas once again.
|
I am sending this letter out early since everyone will be busy over the next couple of weekends. :) I have something for each of you for the new year and will send out another email in a couple of weeks, so keep an eye out.
|
This weekend I am going to watch my daughter walk across a stage to receive her college diploma. It's something she has wanted and has worked hard for, and I find myself misty-eyed at her accomplishment. When I began homeschooling her in first grade, I questioned whether we could get here. :) But God has been so good to provide and open doors. It's a weird season watching my kids creating their own lives. It's a mix of learning to keep my mouth shut, my ears listening, and my doors always open. :) Oh, and extra bottles of laundry soap! lol
|
I'm ending the year with a personal story that was included in Everyday Joy, a devotional put out by The Joyful Life Magazine. Other than the book, this will be the only place my article can be viewed, and I hope my vulnerability in sharing my own weaknesses, helps some of you lay down your frustrations to walk in love too! That's my heart for continuing this writing ministry -- to encourage one another to hold tight to hope, persevere in faith, and live in godly character.
|
I would love to hear back from you! Sometimes I feel like I am sending words into the void, wondering if this matters. I also just love interacting and becoming friends with my readers. I 'm honored to pray over any requests.
|
I pray that each of you will find joy in celebrating the birth of Christ and the grace of a new year. We have so much to praise God for, don't we? Merry Christmas!

I try to create a reel/short video to encourage/inspire other believers each week on Instagram. Follow me there if you would like to see more, but here is one I hope makes you smile. :)

Last non-fiction book of the year!
|
|
|
|
|
This book helps us understand how to wrestle with our questions before and with God. Having a curious, questioning faith can lead to a strengthened, tested faith. It looks at the questions of the Bible and how they lead us to the ultimate answer, God Himself.

"May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands."
