Last week was the most beautiful week by far this year. The beautiful sun, warm weather (86 degrees 🤣), and the blooming of the trees and flowers.

I want to spend 24/7 outside. I set up my laptop and worked most of the week outside in the sun!

Now that spring is here, what is one thing you are excited about getting outside and doing?

Here is a picture of our plum tree that feeds the deer, not us..lol

Time flies when you are having fun! I cannot believe it has been 4 years since I started this amazing chapter.

I am beyond blessed to be part of the AACC. I have gained more than just co-workers, people who love God and his word, people who I now call friends, people on a mission!

This picture is from the day I was driving to the office for my first day!

I was blessed to be part of the Human Flourishing Summit at Liberty University this past week. Dinner with my amazing friend Jennifer Ellers was long overdue!

I have always loved the beauty of a fresh snowfall, but I have to admit, seeing this winter storm rolling across the East Coast has me feeling a bit anxious.

There is something so peaceful about the snow, but the reality of the wind and the accumulation heading our way is definitely a lot to take in!
I am curious what the conditions are looking like in your neck of the woods? Are you expecting a few inches or the full brunt of it?

Please stay warm and off the roads if you can. I am praying for everyone’s safety, that the power stays on, and that everyone remains tucked away safe and sound. 🙏

This is a picture of the interstate in my town during the last mega snow and ice storm. We lost power for 7 days, and some were out for 13. Praying this does not happen again.

Happy Sunday!

There is such a beautiful peace in remembering that we serve a God who is the ultimate expert in new beginnings. No matter what yesterday looked like, His mercies are new every single morning, and His love never fails.

What a wonderful feeling to know that with Him, it is never too late for a fresh start. If you’re looking for a sign to turn the page and begin again, this is it!

“Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22-23

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday filled with hope and renewal!

As we wrap up this week, take a moment to breathe and appreciate how far you’ve come. May your Friday be filled with peace, your heart with joy, and your soul with the gentle presence of grace.

May your weekend be a time of true rest and renewal. May you find reasons to smile in the small things and feel the warmth of love in every conversation.

Sending love and light to you all!

Gaining Independence (The Driving Era)

Handing over the car keys is the ultimate test of a parent’s nerves! 🚗 It’s about more than just driving; it’s that first real taste of "I don't need you to get where I'm going."

In 2026, we have GPS and tracking apps, but the "letting go" part still feels the same.

The first time my teen drove away by themselves, I felt __________. (Be honest—was it relief or a mini-heart attack? 😂)
