Today we honor the men and women who gave their life in service to the United States of America. And rightly so. They deserve to be remembered. However, day to day, it can be easy to think we don’t have much to offer in the way of service, especially if we have health issues, are…
Whisper Yes: What You Do Matters to God!
The very thing we think is less significant often carries the greatest importance.

Standing in line to…
Because We Won’t Ever Be Good Enough
Lately I’ve messed up in a couple near-and-dear relationships. My actions and words cut the beautiful hearts of my loved ones as I dealt with fatigue and a life that longs to overwhelm.

You Have a Lot To Offer; Don’t Excuse Yourself From God’s Plan
You and me — we have a lot to offer. I know it doesn’t always feel that way. In fact, for some of us it seldom does. But we do. God didn’t just birth us on earth to wander aimlessly. He has a job description for each person. Yes, you too. According to Ephesians 2:10, “we are His…

Words of Empowerment for When You Feel Inadequate {printable}
My frustration grew. The school van drew near, yet my daughter struggled to get dressed because her fingers kept slipping through the holes in her shirtsleeves (yes, believe it or not, manufactured holes!). No matter how much I coached and reminded, she just couldn’t seem to keep from slipping into those holes. Wow, can I relate! Feeling…

The Real Truth About Your Story: 3 Things You Want to Know
For years I thought my story was mine. It was mine to plan, mine to live, mine to tell about. And I treated it as such. Yet although my plan looked great in my mind and on paper, it didn’t play out the way I intended. Not at all. My story took on far too much…

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.
I find it's easy for our day's blessings to get lost in its happenings. But God's "mercies never end" (Lamentations 3:22) and His "grace is sufficient" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
