One of the hardest things for me to do is to stop and be still. My mind is constantly running through conversations, scenarios, and things that I need to do. Even my house is very rarely still. There’s always music or a show on in the background, animals running around, and just the general chaos…

Are We There Yet?
If you’ve ever watched any show or movie that’s centred around a family, there will inevitably be a road trip somewhere in the story. As the journey progresses and mishaps ensue, one of the children will undoubtedly say, “Are we there yet?” Maybe if you’ve ever travelled somewhere with small children, you’ve experienced this firsthand,…
Letters to the Past
Dear Younger Me, I wish that you could see where we are now; you’d be so excited. It’s been a journey full of ups and downs but believe me when I say that we’ve learned to love both the mountain tops and the valleys. There are so many amazing, beautiful, heart-breaking things for you to…
White-Knuckled Ride
Anyone who works with horses can tell you that it's never dull. Every day is a new adventure, and every horse is different from the last. Some horses will head out on the trail without a second thought, excited to get away from the barn and see new things. Others are more hesitant, unsure of…
Ravens and Storehouses
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…
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…
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…
The Butterfly Effect
The other day I was at the zoo with my family, and we visited one of my favourite places…the butterfly house. Now compared to lions or giraffes, butterflies probably seem pretty dull. But I love them because they’re like little pieces of artwork just flying around. Whenever I see them during my day, they always…
