I put together this cheese and grapes tray at Christmastime last year. I saw a similar idea and it inspired me to do my own. I used green grapes, red grapes, cojack cheese, colby cheese, pepperjack cheese, monterey jack and tucked in some dill for garnish. I used cinnamon sticks at the bottom to create […]
Do I?
Do I find Him faithful? Does He keep His Word to me? Do I trust His goodness? in the things that I can’t see? Do I rest upon His Word? Do I kneel to pray? Do I trust His promises? Believe the things they say? Do I anchor down so deep? When life begins to […]
In Our Wardrobe {Photo Shoot}
Back before harvest, Renae and I ventured out a couple of times for a photo shoot. She wanted pictures with our old GMC pickup that we fondly refer to as the ’86. And not only did she want pictures with the ’86, but with the ripening wheat as well. She had several fun ideas and […]

Heard and Valued
There are very few places where the soul is truly safe, where the knowing, the questions, the longings of the soul are welcomed, received, and listened to rather than evaluated, judged, or beaten out of us. ~ Ruth Haley Barton This quote has long been a favorite of mine and I’m pretty sure it’s on […]
Pages and Projects {Bearing Fruit}
Here’s a couple of dish cloths I’ve had on my needles. I finished a couple for a friend and made three others for another gal and totally neglected to take any pictures. Which doesn’t even matter, except for posting here. But I don’t think it’s going to be life-changing for anyone. Ha! This book! Bearing […]

The first book I’m chatting about today is this new devotional, Awaken, by Priscilla Shirer. I added it to my wishlist when I saw it was releasing.

Envelopes, Paper Clips and Flowers
Paper craft stuff again! I’m actually not even going to tell you when I made these and how long these photos have been waiting for this post. In part because I would love to be this super-organized person who accomplishes everything efficiently and in a timely manner. But mostly, I won’t tell you, because I […]
Faithfulness Pictured
Psalm 89:8 ~ O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord? You are entirely faithful. Faithfulness is shown in the changing seasons. Green leaves turn into yellow and gold and red. Faithfully as this earth spins, the cycle of summer and autumn and winter and spring continues. Faithfulness is portrayed by […]
Moments. Miracles. Magnificence.
I kneel down close to the freshly drilled dirt and I press the round shutter button of my IG photo app. It captures the image of the field and as I gaze at the sun sinking behind our stretch of trees and our house, I wonder. How often do I miss the wonder? How often […]
