Today, I'm excited to tell you that my new book, Look to Jesus: How to Let Go of Worry and Trust God is available, now! You can get it on Amazon in either paperback or Kindle formats.
I've included the introduction to the book below- so you can have a peek at what it's all about.
In celebration of this book's release (as well as the one year anniversary of this blog) I've put together a gift box of some of my favorite things. I wish that I could send one out to every one of you. I appreciate you all so much. The details of what's in the box, and how to win it, are at the end of this post.

Read moreLast year I set out to learn all I could about trusting Jesus. Trust was my word of the year. This year, the word joy, is what God seemed to place on my heart. Initially, my reaction to the word, joy, was…great; this year is going to be all about fun! And maybe it will be. But that’s not what joy is all about.
Read moreThis year, with the beginning of this blog and my book writing, I was on a steep learning curve. It was challenging but good! I certainly can't say I was bored in 2015. Most months, I participated in Emily P. Freeman's once a month link-up at Chatting at the Sky, called What I Learned.

Thank you for the gift of this precious baby who came to Bethlehem so long ago, for us, the Savior of this world, the One who brings joy, hope, and peace to all those who believe and place their trust in Him.
Read moreChristmas is a time of year that has an abundance of teachable moments for parents to guide their kids towards graciousness.
