I am a blessed girl! God uses everyday situations in my life to teach me about Him and His love. God’s Word is alive and active! A verse that I may have read last year, last week, or even yesterday, may have a new meaning to me depending on the season of life I’m in. This isn’t just true for me, but for you too.

Daily Walking with God
I love food!
This “Day’s LOVE” is really a love/hate relationship. Please tell me I’m not alone here. I love to eat, eat, and eat, but hate how it makes me feel and/or look in the end. I love it when someone compliments me on being “petite”, but hate when I see myself in the...
Kiddos…My Loves!
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” This quote was first penned in the 1600s, and still holds true today. Tim and I have been on a trip of a lifetime to New Zealand, without the kids. (This is definitely a trip to put on your bucket list.) There’s not a day, I...
Stunning, Inspiring, and Revitalizing
I am one blessed girl. Ever since I was young, I loved to travel. It’s not that I did an extensive amount of traveling when I was young (and definitely not out of the country), but I remember spinning a globe and stopping it with my finger and pretending that I was...
I'm an addict.
Hi, my name is Stephanie and I’m an addict. This addiction hasn’t caused me any issues in my life. Well, maybe a little on my hips. I am addicted to chocolate. That’s right. I’ve confessed it. I am a chocoholic. My Day 11 LOVE is...I LOVE chocolate! This...
Sharing gifts
Day 10…I LOVE talented people! God has given everyone the gift of something. I have friends who have the gift to sing, play an instrument, create various forms of art, write, organize, be a prayer warrior, play a sport, teach, speaking in front of others,...
Blue Skies
Have I told you lately how COOL God is? Well, I’m sure I have, but I’ll say it again… “He is phenomenal!” Just yesterday I journaled about “dreary days”, and today…stunningly blue skies shown above, and the temperature was perfect! It was as if God said, “Hey, you’re...
An Atmospheric Pallet
My Day 8 LOVE will be no surprise. If you’ve spent much time on this site, you can tell that I LOVE what the greatest artist ever paints for us all to see. The other day I stayed late at work. On my way home I looked towards the west and the sky was magnificent! The...
Family Time
I LOVE it when all my kiddos are together! It’s Friday night. (First of all, Whew, and Woohoo!!) After a long week of work, the highlight of my day is knowing that I get to spend time with my family. Cole had a 7:45pm basketball game, so Tim prepared a...
Who do you see?
I can easily recall hearing Amy Grant’s song “Father’s Eyes” and falling in love with it. I would go around the house singing that song and even sang it in church a couple of times. It spoke to me and sparked the desire for others to see Christ in me. When others...
A hug when you need it.
Today’s LOVE is a bitter-sweet. Maybe not “bitter”, but a little semi-sweet. This evening I went to my sweet friend’s daddy’s visitation. When I hugged Kendra and her momma I mentioned how God is holding them up and to feel His strength. I could see how they were...
Finding "love" in unexpected places.
Ok. Are you ready for my Day4 LOVE? Well, it’s not a typical thing that someone would write a sweet letter regarding it, create lyrics to sing about, or even engrave its initials on your favorite tree. But my LOVE for today has gotten me out of some tangled...
Who and How We Should Love
Last week Tim and I went to the funeral of one of our former high school classmates. His aunt brought a powerful message that was bathed in scripture. She had mentioned that Dean, our classmate, had his favorite scripture verse engraved into his pocket knife. He...
