Home

I am a stay-at-home mom whose health issues drove me back to writing. I’ve been a rabid reader since about age 5 and love books with epic themes and lots of character development. My favorite authors include (in no particular order): C.S. Lewis, J.K. Rowlings, David Eddings, Penelope Wilcox, Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, Megan Whalen Turner, Pamela Aidan, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and James Schmitz.

I have a passion for exploring the Bible through the lens of analogy and fiction and for helping others start their own journey through the Bible. I finished my first book, Tales from a Spacious Place in 2012, published A Vision of the Path Before Him: A Pride & Prejudice Variation in 2019, and am currently working on two untitled projects (a non-fiction book on women in ministry and another Pride & Prejudice variation).

This blog is about my own spiritual journey and the various fun things I’ve been reading.

Taking a Break

Hey peeps! after all the computer hullabaloo over the past couple months, I’ve decided to take a break from blogging. As I’ve talked about numerous times on here, prioritization is key. Part of fulfilling our callings (the good works God’s prepared in advance for us) is to say “no” to some things so we can… Continue reading Taking a Break

How to Be Faithful

Sorry guys! I know it’s been a while. We’ve been fighting through more car and computer problems. I feel like it’s the story of my life lately! Anyway, computer availability has been spotty, but hopefully we have a solution now at least for e-mail and blogging. This week I’ve been thinking a lot about faithfulness.… Continue reading How to Be Faithful

Messing Up Our Own Lives

Sorry it’s been a couple weeks! Computer problems have been a big issue for us lately. Let’s talk about suffering. A couple weeks ago on Epic Every Day, we spent the whole week talking about suffering. It’s gotten me thinking about the suffering we bring on ourselves…. Frankly, the past couple weeks have been rough.… Continue reading Messing Up Our Own Lives

Immersed in God’s Love

You have to work to immerse yourself in God’s love. That’s one of the things Beth Moore talked about in one of her studies–I’ve forgotten which one at this point 🙂 It struck me though. Sometimes we don’t see ourselves as beloved. We’re just average–why would God love us that radically? Or we get comfortable… Continue reading Immersed in God’s Love

Losing Brain Cells

Let’s talk about growth mindset. Raise your had if you were taught that if you lose brain cells, you can’t get more. I know I was when I was a kid–part of the “don’t watch too much TV” campaign. Growth mindset is the opposite. It’s the idea that your brain can create new neural pathways,… Continue reading Losing Brain Cells

More on Scarcity

I’ve been thinking more about scarcity this week. We ended up recording our podcast episodes on the topic in the midst of having our car’s engine die, needing to bake our MacBook (for the nth time), and finishing my first complete draft of book one in my fantasy series (and not having money for an… Continue reading More on Scarcity

Taking the Easy Road

This past week on our podcast we’ve been talking about simplicity. I think this is the time of year when we lose our New Year’s goals–they fall to the wayside, or we get discouraged by how little we’ve accomplished in the past month, or they’re still hanging out in front of us, something to aim… Continue reading Taking the Easy Road
