Everything started here
I started writing on a blog called 29 Lincoln Avenue sixteen years ago. The name for my first blog came from the street address of the home I grew up in a small town in Southern Indiana. I loved the idea of inviting you into my “blog home” every week.
It was through learning to write and create content there (and then here) that I discovered my love for words and my voice as a writer. When I started, Twitter and Facebook were the rage and blogging found a unique place that would be writers (like me) were able to practice publishing more than a handful of words at at time.
Through blogging I started writing books. I am eternally grateful for that opportunity to put something more of my heart in the hands of those who are bookish by nature.
But even with Instagram, youTube, and every other social media option out there—I still love to add a few words here.
And I suspect I always will.

Meet me at (in)courage today
In early 2010 God gave me One Word for the year: Thankful He asked me to start making a list of all the things I was thankful for in my life. The only trouble was, I didn't feel thankful. Being thankful is the easiest and the hardest thing to do when you are not OK....
What I Wore
This is going to be a super quick post because apparently a cold front is moving into my Central Florida town and I feel like I should go find socks for my sock challenged children. And by cold front I mean it is going to dip into the 50's tonight. And by sock...

Where I Break, He Breaks Through
What if I told you the point was for you to come to the end of yourself today? I know. Stop. Breathe. Let it settle a bit. I've been in this place for a few days trying to work out these words: He says, "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 (ESV) But we fight...
