There’s something so sacred about food shared after a long day’s work — especially when it’s cooked with love and served with purpose. I often think about one of my favorite Bible moments found in John 21:1–14 — the story of Jesus appearing to His disciples after His resurrection. They had gone back to what they knew — fishing. The waves lapped against the boat, the sun rising slowly as their nets came up empty again and again. These were seasoned fishermen, weary in both

When I picture Jesus sharing meals with His disciples, I think of the simple, wholesome foods of the land — fresh fish from the Sea of Galilee, figs picked from the tree, olives just pressed into oil… and always, always bread.

Let’s face it—we’ve all opened the fridge only to find a forgotten head of lettuce, now wilted and mushy. Or worse, tossed something out just because we weren’t sure if it was still good. We've also all brought home food wrapped in plastic that gets used once, then heads straight to the trash. It might seem small, but these everyday moments add up—to food waste, excess spending, and a growing environmental problem we can’t ignore.

There’s a certain magic that comes with waking up each day knowing that your job is to create. To take what’s in your heart, around you, your imagination, and your prayers, and turn it into something that others can see, feel, and hold. Being a full-time artist is both a dream come true and a daily adventure—it’s freedom and challenge woven together with threads of color, faith, and possibility.

Have you ever sat in the quiet, wondering if God really hears you? Or maybe you’ve thought, I wish I could hear Him the way other people say they do. I know that feeling well. We want God to feel near, to speak clearly, to guide us like a loving Father. The beautiful truth is—He does. The question is often less about if He’s speaking and more about how we’re listening.

The word workmanship in the original Greek is poiēma—which is where we get our word poem. That means you are God’s unique poem, His one-of-a-kind masterpiece. And the cool part? He already wrote the plan for your life before you even got here.

Sometimes life feels like a race we weren’t fully prepared to run. We stumble, fall, get back up, and keep moving forward even when it feels like we’re walking through mud. And yet, through all the chaos, God’s hand is steady. His timing is never rushed, never delayed—it’s perfect. I’ve seen this truth play out in my own life, and maybe sharing a bit of my journey will encourage you not to give up on what God has planted inside you.

Temptation doesn’t always show up wearing red horns and carrying a pitchfork. Sometimes it’s dressed in a perfectly reasonable excuse, a harmless little “just this once,” or even a shiny opportunity that looks too good to be true (because… it is). The enemy is sneaky like that — he custom-tailors temptation so it fits just right for you.

I’ve always loved old things — an heirloom quilt, a weathered farmhouse table, a recipe scribbled in a grandmother’s handwriting. There’s something about going back to the original that feels truer, richer, and more satisfying. You get the whole story — not just the bits and pieces. The Church is a lot like that. If we look closely at history, we can trace the Christian faith all the way back to one small, powerful moment: the morning the tomb was empty. Jesus had risen, and

Trust me when I say I love to sleep in, but there’s also something about stepping outside early in the morning—before the world fully...

Let’s talk about one of those big questions that can keep you up at night: “What does God want me to do with my life?”Or maybe more specifically:“What job should I take? Should I start something new? Am I doing the right thing?” If you've ever felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed about your career or calling, you're not alone. It's easy to want a crystal-clear sign from heaven—a booming voice saying, "This is it!" But more often, God's direction comes through stillness

Have you ever had a season where you just felt… lost? You know, the kind of season where your prayers feel like they’re bouncing off the ceiling, you’re not sure which way to go next, and no matter how hard you try to “figure it all out,” everything feels foggy and unclear?

There’s just something timeless and special about a handmade dress for a little girl. Whether it's for a picnic, a birthday, or just because—there’s so much love stitched into each seam. And if you're like me, you want simple projects that don’t take forever but still have that "oh my goodness, did you make that?" charm.

Let’s be honest—closets can get overwhelming. All the colors, the trends, the "I might wear this someday" items... and yet most of us end up wearing the same handful of things over and over again. And you know what? That’s not a bad thing. In fact, I think it’s beautiful. I've been leaning into a slower, gentler approach to getting dressed—one rooted in comfort, simplicity, and ease. The kind of closet where everything goes together, everything feels like you.

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.

I’ve come to believe that a cozy, well-loved home isn’t about how much we own—it’s about the few things that truly serve us, spark joy, and make life a little smoother (and a lot more peaceful). So today, I’m opening the door to my everyday life and sharing 10 items I use every single day in my home—and why they’ve become part of what I call my Cozy Home Capsule.
