This song is on repeat in my heart as I sit under a blanket of snow. God in every season, stunning and loving, visable if we’ll only see Him.

The world may push hustle, but God invites us to stillness. “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10

Shame whispers lies, but God speaks truth. You are not defined by your past, your mistakes, or your failures. In Christ, you are forgiven, redeemed, and made new. God’s love covers every ounce of shame with grace. Step into His truth today: You are seen, known, and loved.

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1

When we slow down and notice the simple, ordinary moments, we discover the extraordinary beauty of life unfolding around us. Take a breath. Look around. There’s magic in the small things.

Wherever you are and whatever you face, you are not alone. God has promised to never leave or forsake His own. Seek Him and you will find Him.

There are many gray and frozen days in the winter months of NW Ohio. But there are gifts in winter, and I'm learning the art of looking for and reveling in its goodness. God purposed the changing seasons to position the earth for growth and renewal, and I believe He does the same in us.

Stay warm. Stay hopeful.

As hard as it is to admit our wrongs, our sins, and our failures- there is an amazing gift in repentance. Repentance is never about fear—it’s about freedom. It’s the gift of turning back to God, where grace heals, restores, and refreshes our hearts. When’s the last time you've humbled yourself and confessed your sin and need of forgiveness? It’s a freeing, God-blessed act of obedience. 🌿✨

Hope for the Brokenhearted This Advent Season

“Show me a heart, and I’ll show you the cracks. To have a heart is to know heartbreak.”

If you’ve ever felt like the ache is too deep or the breaks too wide for healing, you’re not alone. “Love Letters of Advent”, my new book, is here to offer fresh hope and light in the midst of your journey.

What This Book Brings:
🔸 A reminder that Advent is more than waiting—it’s the promise of reassembly for our shattered hearts.
🔸 Letters filled with love and grace, meeting you in your broken places.
🔸 A call to remember the One who re-members us, piece by piece, with healing love.

From the Book:
“When it seems the battle isn’t worth the fight, Advent enters the horizon. Like a desert mirage, it flickers the promise in the distance that shattered hearts will be reassembled. But it isn’t a mirage—it’s real and personal.”

Now Available: Find your fresh hope this season. Click the link to order your copy today.
Let Advent remind you of the healing that starts now and continues into eternity.

Tag a friend who needs a little hope this season, and let’s share the light of Advent together.

It's been a bit of a day of clumsiness and oddities for me. I’ve spilled coffee, got bags hung up on plane doors, got stuck on the lip of a moving jet bridge … etc. But people have been kind, helpful, and lighthearted today, much more so than usual. There’s a different air about the cities today. Maybe it’s because the media fighting and spam texts and stupid commercials have slowed. Maybe it’s because people are resolute to see each other as humans and not party colors. Maybe we’ve realized we’ve got more in common with the random stranger than we thought. Maybe it’s because a million things, but whatever it is- it’s better. We can’t live like we’ve been living. We’re just humans trying to make it day by day. Let’s be people again who love and laugh and care and help each other when our backpack is unforgivingly lodged under the airplane seat and coffee is dripping from the armrests. —

You know-

It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

It’s a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So let’s make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we’re together we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Won’t you please,
Won’t you please?
Please won’t you be my neighbor?

Don't rush past the season of warmth, gratitude, and glowing embers. Embrace November. 🍁

I am excited to share that I am launching a new design of The ONE Page curriculum this week. I’ve loved writing and refining this resource to make it more adaptable to any child discipleship setting. If you’d like info on subscribing, I’m happy to give you the details!

New chapters, new doors, new stories require us to say yes and walk forward. We can admire the golden thought for decades or we can take the path that gets us there.

What will it be?

I cannot believe it’s been a decade. Sometimes, it feels so near, and other times, it feels like someone else’s memory. Those who knew our family and the darkness we endured celebrate with us in the miraculous ways that God spared us. We are different and better people because of these years. In gratitude, I thank God for his compassion, mercy, and healing. Sacred is the only word I have for the journey we've lived.

There is power in God’s word. The scripture I know by heart is carried with me everywhere I go. #christianwomen #bibleverses #scriptureoftheday #thefigandfeather

The time is nearing! The Advent season is the most hopeful, lovely time to remember it’s all been beautifully settled. This calendar is next level! #advent #adventcalendar #crateandbarrel #hope #merrychristmas

When you’re a high achiever but all your goals right now lead straight to a nap… #nap #naptime #adulting #napsarelife

You were made for this moment, exactly where you are. 🌟 Leading in a male-dominated space isn’t easy, but remember: you bring a unique strength and perspective that is vital. Trust that you are in your role on purpose, not by accident. Your voice matters, your decisions shape the future, and your confidence will inspire others. Keep shining—your leadership is a gift to the world. #womeninleadership #confidentwomen #purposedriven #purpose #femaleempowerment #leadershipgoals #womenwholead #breakingbarriers #inspiringwomen #godsgotyou #leadwithpurpose #thefigandfeather

Take charge of your own story. 🚀 Personal leadership isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about growing through every challenge and never playing the victim. Rise up, lead yourself well, and watch your potential unfold. 💪✨ #leadyourself #personalgrowth #Empowerment #riseandshine #mindsetmatters #leadership

Every season has its purpose. Embrace your journey, trust God’s timing, and remember that your path is uniquely yours. 🌿✨ #faithovercomparison #trusttheprocess #timing #thefigandfeather #grace #mindfulliving #faith #seasons

How are your rhythms? What needs to stay or go? #thefigandfeather #liferhythms #intentionalliving #mindfulness #mindfulliving #soulcare

Seasons change, and so do our children. As parents, let’s celebrate who they’re becoming, embracing the new chapters God is writing in their lives. Let’s not get lost in the nostalgia of yesterday but press forward in faith, knowing each season holds a purpose. 🍂✨ #newseason #faithforward #parentingwithpurpose #embracechange #growinginfaith #parentingjourney #seasonsoflife #godsplan #raisingthenextgeneration #faithfulparenting #backtoschool

Every day is a new chapter in a story that’s still unfolding. From leading Alliance Kids, to bringing ideas to life in the studio, to nurturing The Fig & Feather, I’m reminded that our impact is woven into every moment we embrace with purpose. Balancing dreams with dedication, I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow and inspire others to do the same. #dayinthelife #alliancekids #womeninleadership #purposedriven #inspiration #entrepreneurlife #studiolife #conferencehost #thefigandfeather #worklifebalance
