Some days, art flows like sunlight—easy, warm, and full of life. Other days, it’s like trying to paint with rainwater. You sit there, brush in hand, staring at the blank page or screen, and wonder where that spark went. I’ve been there more times than I can count. But what I’ve learned is this: creative block isn’t the end of your art. Sometimes, it’s the space God gives you to breathe, listen, and refill your cup.

There’s something almost magical about reading. Maybe it’s the way words leap off a page and create worlds inside your mind. Maybe it’s the smell of an old, beloved book that feels like home. Or maybe it’s that satisfying sound of turning a crisp new page, like a little drumbeat of discovery. However it comes to you, reading is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves—and the next generation. Books.

If you’ve ever wished life came with an instruction manual, surprise — it does. It’s been around for thousands of years, and it’s filled with wisdom that still works today. We call it the Bible, but it’s so much more than just a book. It’s God’s love letter, His guide, and His invitation for you to live a life that’s full of peace, purpose, and joy.

Have you ever noticed how the world seems to spin a little too fast some days? Between the news, the hustle, the expectations, and the constant pinging of phones—our minds can start to feel like they’re running a never-ending race. But there’s something magical that happens when you pick up a crochet hook and a soft skein of cotton yarn.
