A Radiant Vessel (in the making)
I spent some time digging into my #oneword for 2025 (alabaster). I wanted to share some of my findings before January is officially over.

(I’m hopeful that we are on the other side of it now, and am finally feeling a sense of excitement for the … Continue reading Alabaster

Words are my jam. From choosing an annual #oneword to song lyrics and blogs, and all the books, dictionaries, and encyclopedias in between. (Fun fact: I hope one day to have a room in my home devoted as a library and study area.) Words are important to me - writing them, speaking them, reading, listening; … Continue reading Check-In + Prayer Guide
