Coming Back to the Blog

It’s been quite a while since I last wrote here, so let me start with: hello again friend.

I didn’t plan to take such a long break from writing here. It wasn’t something I mapped out or even announced. It just… happened. Or maybe more truthfully, God made it happen. Although I didn’t know why He was asking me to pause, I knew obedience was important. So even though it meant stepping away, I did.

Looking back, I see God’s stamp all over it. This past year has been one of spiritual growth. A time of conviction, of learning what freedom in Christ really means, of letting go of things I was never meant to carry, of walking in obedience without having all the answers, of trusting God’s perfect timing, of resting solely in Him.

There were also some family challenges that needed my full attention, including an accident my husband had that required surgery and ongoing recovery. That journey is still unfolding, but I’ve seen God’s faithfulness in every step forward.

And that brings me to something new along with coming back to the blog. After much prayer (and quite a few nudges from family and friends over the years), I finally said yes to something that’s been on my heart for a while: opening a small online shop featuring my photography. It’s a creative extension of the same heart behind everything I share here. 

I’ll continue to share encouragement, wellness ideas, and life reflections mainly through my newsletter I’m calling, The Dwelling Place. The Shop is just one more way I hope to create artwork and resources that inspires others to cultivate hearts and homes that honor God, and it’s also helping our family in a very practical way right now.

Thank you for your patience, prayers, and allowing me to share a bit of my journey with you. I’ve missed this space and the community it holds. I’m so grateful to be here again, and I can’t wait to share what God’s been stirring in my heart.

Here’s to fresh beginnings, creativity, and finding God’s beauty in unexpected places. 💛
