Dear friend, throughout the broken places of our s

Dear friend, throughout the broken places of our stories, the hurt that left us feeling broken has never limited God’s power in our lives.
.
You see, God’s activity isn’t limited by our understanding.
.
Even when His hand isn’t visible from today’s perspective, our faithful God is working amid the scars of our stories, growing abundant life and purpose.
.
Dear friend, the broken parts of your story don’t make you a broken person. You’re still the whole, cherished, purpose-filled woman God created you to be.
.
The wounds of your story aren’t lost on your God. Take heart—those scars you fear might limit you, become powerful testaments of the God who tenderly meets you in them, growing abundance in their midst.
.
How can I pray for you today, friend?
.
We’d love for you to join the conversation over at Proverbs 31 Ministries today! (Proverbs31.org) 💗

As proof of life…a few pics from my world the last few months. 😊
.
I promise I haven’t fallen off of the edge of the earth! Life has just been full. 🙃
.
I’d love to hear how you’re doing, friend! 💗

January has a pondering, reflective way about her.

Like toddlers in a toy store new years come bounding in, bursting with possibility for all that lies ahead.
.
Yet, have you ever stepped over the threshold of a new year & wondered if where you are is where you need to be in this season of life?
.
Me, too.
.
You can read the devotion, “What Are You Doing Here?” at Proverbs31.org . 💗
.
Is there an area of your life where God may be whispering to your spirit, “What are you doing here?” I’d love to hear your thoughts & pray for you, friend. 💗

A few gifts wrapped in pretty from my November & D

A few gifts wrapped in pretty from my November & December.
.
1-3: The moon over Myrtle Beach on Thanksgiving. Have you ever seen this phenomenon before? I looked it up & it’s apparently called a lunar halo, or a 22-degree halo.
.
4-5: Lights & sleepy pelican at Murrell’s Inlet Marsh-walk.
.
6-7: Sunrise over Myrtle Beach.
.
8: Because I’m obsessed with the sun.
.
9: Because pretty.
.
Happy New Year, friend. May God be ever-near to you & yours in 2024. 💕🙏🏻
