The writing life has been an ever-evolving journey the last few years. I've been encouraged and inspired by other writer's I've met and those in groups where I'm connected, who help sharpen and shape my words. I've had the privilege of guest posting and being the recipient of kind shares on other websites. The Momma Theologians also graciously accepted me onto their contributor team, which has been a lot of fun!
So, on the blog today, I'm sharing highlights from some of my features around the web, and the most visited articles from the blog! Enjoy!

Summer can be the worst of time for women, swimsuits and tan lines, beaches crowded with people; we can’t help but compare ourselves, surrounded by so many seeming opportunities.
How do we define beauty? Or, who defines it for us?
You remember the moments a newborn lays over your shoulder, a full belly leads to a deep, surrendered sleep. Are there moments you feel that restful contentment?

You don't have to look very far around here to see the signs of drought: wilty plants, dusty soil and dry river beds. You can almost feel the thirst. What about when our spiritual tank is this dry? Here's biblical encouragement to satisfy.
