Life has seemed extra busy lately. In between work, home projects, and life in general, there just hasn’t seemed to be a chance to press pause and breathe for a moment. Thankfully, a few months back we started orchestrating the work schedule to get a day off every other week. Having this day has been […]

Use What You Have
You can use what you have and reenergize your surroundings! Sometimes the simple act of really investigating what you have, reorganizing, using in new and different ways, etc, can refresh your area just as much as buying something new. We run into this at the boutique. From time to time, we’ll hit a slow spell […]
All The Little Things
In the rush and the hurry of everyday life, isn’t it curious all the little things that get left behind and not addressed. Be it writing notes or filing paperwork, how do we make time for these things and get them off our mind? One way to motivate yourself to get things done is to […]
Fresh Start
Isn’t the new year kind of magical in offering us a fresh start? Not that it is really tied to the new year, I know, it’s just such a clear delineation between what we’ve been doing and what we might change and step into better. And isn’t that what being a Christian is all about […]
A Fresh Perspective on Waiting

Exciting Outcomes
When you play it small, you play it safe. But when you take a chance, a calculated risk, exciting outcomes enter the equation. Small efforts and requests may lead to safe answers and minimal disruption, but as Christians are we really called to lead lives of insignificance? The Circle Maker I am currently reading a […]
Dream Big Again
Dream Big Again – I read that phrase the other day and it really resounded with me! I want to be sure I dream big, because I serve an incredible, unlimited God! This year has been one of a lot of work, long hours, and wait-and-see situations. Reading that phrase sparked something inside of me! […]
What Could Go Right
Instead of wondering about things not working out, what if you considered what could go right. What if things were to come together in your favor. Your hopes, your dreams, all coming together in God’s perfect time – that’s a beautiful dream and a beautiful way to think. You know we don’t get brownie points […]
Looking for Answers
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking for answers on a number of things. I have a tendency to ponder the way some things are, to question why they have to be a certain way, wonder what role God needs me to play in a given situation, etc. And I think that’s a totally […]
