I’m so excited to share a new project I’ve been working on. Introducing… Rejoice Always: Remembering God’s Goodness Every Day for a Year. Scripture has so much to say about how a heart of gratitude enriches our lives and points us to the gospel. My goal in creating this journal was to serve as a quick,ContinueContinue reading “Rejoice Always: A 52 Week Gratitude Journal”

Book Illustrations, High Functioning Anxiety, and the Call to Stand Tall
One question I get often is how much input did I have on the illustrations of The Anxious Lily. Here’s a short breakdown of what that process was like for me, as well as some fun pictures of the process!

I couldn’t help but notice all last night and today that a certain Miley Cyrus was trending. I’ve read multiple statuses (statusi? statusees?), tweets, and blogposts about the apparently mind-blowing/horrifying/raunchy performance by Miley Cyrus on the VMAs. I didn’t see it, still haven’t, and probably won’t (even though I feel like I already have whatContinueContinue reading “Everyone has a stage”
