Raise your hand if you love Holley Gerth’s grace

Raise your hand if you love Holley Gerth’s grace-filled writing. If you could see me, you’d see my hand raised over here in my NC kitchen.
.
Her gentle way with words and hearts is a gift.
.
I received these beautiful new books of hers in the mail this week, and I can’t wait to share them with you!
.
Scroll through to read some of my favorite quotes from her sweet new book, Cheering You On.
.
And if you scroll far enough, you might just find a quote from Yours Truly. What a sweet joy to be included in this beautiful new writing journal.
.
For the graduate, or the dreamer, or anyone in your life who needs a reminder that God has beautiful plans for her—these would make precious gifts.
.
AND!! I’m giving away a copy of each to one sweet reader! To enter, simply leave a comment to this post on Instagram, telling us what dreams God’s planting in your heart for such a time as this. (Or anything else you’d like to share.)
.
I’ll randomly select a winner next week! 🎉
.
I hope you’ll grab a copy of these lovely new books from the beautiful Holley Gerth. And, when you do, be sure to let me know what you think! 💗

Hey, sweet friend. Are you in a season of life tha

Hey, sweet friend. Are you in a season of life that feels relentless? Like you pulled up the welcome mat long ago, but still, it lingers?
.
I understand. I’ve been there...am there.
.
Friend, it’s in these times when we choose to rest in the truth of Jeremiah 17:7, “...blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.”
.
His strength and mercy are our hope, His character and power, our confidence.
.
May we clothe ourselves in hope today as we wait in the safety of His goodness.
.
Where are you finding hope and beauty amidst life’s hardships today, friend? 💗

When your husband brings you flowers for no partic

When your husband brings you flowers for no particular reason, and you’re reminded that, in this ever-upside-down year, some things remain.
.
These flowers, they sit on my mantle all like, “coronavirus who?” Undeterred by pandemic, they fulfill their purpose of beauty, of love, of grace.
.
As the weeks wear on, we can feel a little stifled...grieving what was, and what was supposed to be.
.
But friend, just like tulips clothed in purpose—our beauty, our love, our grace—can remain.
.
Who needs your grace today? Who needs the beauty of our Savior in your interaction today? Who needs the sacrifice of your love this day?
.
Truth is, everyone’s struggling in a million ways. We struggled before pandemic, and we’ll struggle after.
.
So, let’s wrap ourselves in humility and be a fragrant flower of His heart today, for we may never know the difference it makes in the life of another.
.
.
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” Col. 3:12, NIV
