Find Peace in the Midst of the Messy (Michele Cushatt’s Undone book review & giveaway)
More often than not, life doesn’t roll the way we expect. Yet some of us (yes, I’m guilty), try to force it to conform to our belief of how it should be. We try to control the inner workings and the outcomes. We wear ourselves out by trying to reconcile our idea of what should be to the…
Journey To Soul Rest Is for You Too [Book Review]

Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine [a review]
It stalked me. I could feel it. Yet, however much I desired to stay in the grip of grief and sorrow, I couldn’t. Something wouldn’t let me. With every miscarriage—with every life lost—I wanted to be alone. I wanted to dwell in the darkness. I wanted to remain in my bitterness and anger. Understanding and…

Do you value self-sufficiency? I do—or at least did. Self-Sufficiency Self-sufficiency is an attribute I’ve cultivated through the years.

Hello, I'm Julie, an imperfect wife and mother of four. Life in this broken world is not always easy. Yet, joy can be found in each day through the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
