Guest blog post

God Draws Near
This has been a week that has weighed so heavy on my heart. I have been trying to process a lot of things: sorrow, loss, pain, confusion.

Scars
Sometimes in life, we lose our footing and we tumble. There are times, during these tumbles, that we hurt ourselves. We may even take the people around us down with us. These tumbles can often bring pain caused by cuts, bruises or broken bones. Many times we are left with scars to remind us of …
Seasons of Change
I am eagerly awaiting the season of fall. We have had a few days of some cooler weather, but I am ready for the cool to stay throughout the entire day, the leaves to change and show me all the amazing colors. In anticipation, I have already indulged in pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin muffins and …
