1. It's Time to Start Writing Again I took a much needed blogging break this summer. I felt God asking me to take a step back and really evaluate my motives for writing. I've discovered He's calling me to a small, yet impactful life as a writer. I learned a lot during my writing sabbatical. It's finally time to come back to this place and share our story in hopes that it always points my readers to Christ. It probably won't look the same as it once did, but I"m eager to write again and I Continue Reading

Our annual trip to a pumpkin patch tucked within the trees outside the city limits. I captured glory with each click of the camera. A Saturday Continue Reading
