Finding joy in the trenches, together.
Encouragement, perspective shifts & practical ideas.
That’s what I hope you find here on the blog, friend. I am praying this becomes a place where you feel like you’re cozied up with a cinnamon roll and a good conversation, where your spirit is lifted and you are welcomed into collaboration. There is a place for you here.
The Shepherd’s Dinner
Last year and this year (it’s a tradition now!), Cameron and I have hosted something we call a “shepherd’s dinner” at Christmastime. We invite friends and family to sing Christmas carols and read scripture passages in my in-law’s barn. Everyone is crowded together, sitting on hay bales with light mostly just from battery-lit candles. We sing acapella and no one ever knows who’s supposed to sing out the first note at the beginning of each song. Everyone pulls their coats a little tighter when the wind blows in. This is our small way to step out of the busyness, for one night, and let the truth of what happened over 2,000 years of cold nights ago wash over us all over again.
There’s a place for your work on the blog!
