Welcome to My Journal!
UPDATE: I’ve moved my regular writing to Substack! This is now my archives.
Here on my blog, I love to write personal stories, truths I’m learning from studying Scripture, lessons I’ve learned from those wiser than me, and what God is teaching me through writing.
I’d for you sit back in your favourite chair while the little ones sleep or while you’re on break from work and read a bit of what I’m thinking on these days. Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts of your own!
Stop Filling Every Quiet Moment with Scrolling
Our phones keep away boredom and the awkwardness of silence by filling our every moment with content. But what if that’s a bad thing? What if we’re meant to be bored and have quiet once in a while? What if that’s the way God created us? Not having this kind of reprieve from the noise can actually lead to burn-out.
Doing One Task at a Time to Love My Family Better
What does it mean to be productive? Does it mean flying through our work at warp speed, multi-tasking our way through every task? Is multi-tasking even helpful? Let’s consider psychology and the biblical calling together for a biblical view of productivity.
Haircuts and Rest
We often feel like needing rest is shameful and even ungodly. But what if this need for rest is a good part of God's creation?
Learning to Enjoy Rest
Do you resist the rest your body aches for because the floors must be scrubbed today? Do you say yes to yet another project, another event, even though your schedule already has you weary? What if we stopped following the example of our children and instead obeyed God’s call to rest?
Resting in the Psalms When You're Weary
God has taught me to love the Psalms and rest in them. In weary times when my mind is too tired to focus and my heart is jumbled and distracted, I have found rest in studying the Psalms. I didn’t believe that a study of the Psalms would challenge me like it has and cause such growth. I was a fool to doubt God’s beautiful and inspired Word.
