You must love each other as I have loved you. 35 All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other.” John 13:34-35 NCV This transparent conversation is worthy of hitting the replay button several times.

Celebrate “Her” Day
Her voice is calm and reassuring, yet she will speak out on behalf of those whose voice is silenced. She pushes aside the tasks labeled A1 on her daily agenda to come to the aid of a friend with a broken heart. Those tasks often sitting on the back burner for days at a time […]
“Accepting Who God Created You To Be” ~ Natalie Grant ~ Better TogetherTV
Girlfriend, it’s time for a celebration! So, you and I are going to throw a party to celebrate who we are in Christ. Can we lean in for a moment here? I want to share something that I’ve learned the hard way so that you don’t have to. GOD Almighty designed you for an extraordinary […]
Thirty Seconds Thursday
It’s still early enough in the year to commit to doing something positively impactful and allow it to become a new good habit. Lean in a bit closer and let me share what’s on my heart with you … perhaps it’s something that you may have been considering as well. People. Other people, to be […]
“Eliminating the Regret of Wishing You Had Prepared for the Unforeseen Storm”
It’s finally fall out here in our neck of the woods — the last bit of summer has left us and the temperatures are relatively mild now. It’s nearly perfect outdoors. Not too cool, certainly not too warm. This in-between season gives us some reprieve before the winds begin to howl and the dry air […]

“Better Together”
There are just some things in life that are best experienced when broken into smaller pieces: information that you have to learn to pass an exam, a seven-course meal, a major project at work that requires a team to accomplish, a week’s load of laundry, developing a meal plan for someone who is recovering from […]
“A Few Bite Size Morsels”
Life can feel so unfair at times. And if we’re not careful to put those things in their proper place, into the Hands that hold us together when we are about to fall apart, we can mistakenly get distracted by wayward thoughts and go off a deep end. There’s no explaining the ‘whys’ of infertility, […]
“A Few Bite Size Morsels”
Looking in the rearview mirror at the roads traveled during the early days when my children were younger, I can utter under my breath the familiar, “If I only knew then, what I know today …” And not to say that I fully wrap my arms around a lifetime of should haves, could haves or […]
