Listen closely, and you will experience the rhythms of life. How beautiful to discover we are not alone in the daily rhythms. Sometimes conversations can be a distraction, or we hear the words spoken as an interruption to our lives, and in some cases, hurtful. I’ve stayed put in my chapter of Waymaker. Partly because…
Aunt Shirley, “You Love Well”
As loved ones and friends transition from this life, I’ve noticed that God spends time with me in my prayers and meditation with messages of hope. I’m grateful. It’s natural to experience regret or guilt; God just swoops in with a message of love and hope. Finding out that Aunt Shirley had passed away, I…
Morning Song
“Night turns to morning You have been waiting Whispering to me…” (Morning Song, by Steffany Gretzinger) Good morning, How are you? Do you have a moment to close your eyes and breathe in His love? Can you devote a little more time to worship and attach yourself to Hesed love this morning? His love. Can…
Hedonic Treadmill
Opportunity. This word describes an event or space one can advance or achieve. Something or someone has provided a way for us to improve or obtain something. This is how I understand the meaning. Yet, opportunity can also be found in the most challenging of circumstances. Over the last few days, many of my readings…
Hebb Family Thanksgiving 2022
Oh, how wonderful to gather and share food, laughter, and gratitude. This year’s menu was pretty much the same, yet the atmosphere seemed different. I’m not a big home decorator or cleaner. So, an event can take a few days on and off to get ready for. Some lifehacks that helped me this year to…

Hesed
My husband is cutting up cabbage to make sauerkraut. We will ferment the cabbage for about 4-5 weeks, put them in canning jars, and share with friends and family. I decided to sit and supervise while writing and talking to him about my new book, Waymaker, by Ann VosKamp. One morning, I went to the…
The Goodness of God
I woke up at 4:00 in the morning. I decided to try to go back to sleep, and also toyed with the idea of just getting up. I love the quietness of the morning. Rest came. Up again at 6:20, I decided to check when the sun would rise. 6:44. I can make it. With…
Asparagus Wraps
Parish and I love cooking together when the timing is right and we have a good recipe. Now, we have a lot of banter going on in the kitchen. If you know our personalities, you know what I’m talking about. No matter your communication patterns and ways in the kitchen, we would encourage you to…
Even if…
Picture used: The photo was taken by German photographer Tobias Baumgaertner Yesterday’s post shared connections with others who see into our lives and respond. In fact, I got a text from my friend Whitney at work that reminded me that we needed to set a date to have dinner, and she remembered the things I’m…
