Every day as I go to work, I pray that God will sustain me throughout the day. That He will see the steps that I have taken and the planning that I have done, and He will be faithful to fill in the gaps. That He will step in to provide and preserve when I…
Honey & Salt
Life is made up of moments that are honey-sweet, and others that bite like salt in a wound. Both are important and both have beauty to be found within them. These are those moments. The ones that make you smile and the ones that make you grateful for what you’ve survived.
Surrender and Receive
Have you ever woken up in the morning and felt more tired than you were the night before? You hoped that you would enter the next day refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes your way. Instead, you feel your battery is careening towards 0%, and you have no idea how to slow it…
25 Lessons
I know that twenty-five years isn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things, but I’ve always loved celebrating milestone moments. I’m so thankful for everything that I’ve learned and experienced in these past years; I know that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without everything that happened in them. Here’s to…
Time to Redefine
I have loved horses for as long as I can remember. My first word was probably "horse." I had horse shirts, movies, books, and a room that was saturated with every possible horse knick-knack. My friends in school called me "Horse Katie." If there was an option to choose topics for school projects, I wanted…
Created on Purpose
Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered why God created you the way that He did? Or maybe you see someone on the street and wonder why you can’t have the same things as them. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparison that the enemy sets up for us. When…
Vines and Branches
I’m what you would call a wannabe-green thumb. I love plants, I have several throughout my house, and I’ll always adopt a couple more when I see them in stores. The only thing is that I struggle to keep them alive. When you come over, you’ll see plants happily growing in cute pots, but what…
Found in Christ
Imagine for a moment that you’re at a big gathering of people from all over. Maybe it’s a work conference, a family reunion, or a wedding. Whatever it is, you don’t know anyone there, so you will have to introduce yourself to every person you meet. So, what do you say when you shake hands…
Put Your Suitcases Down
People always say to learn from the past, but sometimes the past is too painful to look at. We all have things that we’ve done that we’re not proud of, and we’ve all been through things that we wish hadn’t happened. There are times that these mistakes and circumstances can loom over us like a…
Treasured Truth
When I was little, my dad helped my brother and I memorize Psalm 23. I remember piling onto my parent’s bed in the evening so that we could sit and work through the verses one at a time. I couldn’t tell you why my dad chose that particular Psalm, but I can tell you that…
Honey Sweet Words
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." I'm sure that by now, all of us know that that phrase is, in fact a lie, because often it's the words that people throw at us that hurt the most. They find a way to burrow deep into our hearts, festering…
