I’m so glad you stopped by.

I started this blog in 2012. You could call it a “devotional” blog. I like to write about the ways I see God revealed in the world around me. I love to share life experiences that illustrate His Word.

I’ve found Ephesians 4:29 to be a reliable guide:

I also like this verse in the New American Standard version:

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. (Ephesians 4:29, NASB)

Encouragement. Help. Relevance. Grace.

This is what I hope you’ll find here.

I pray my words draw you nearer to the Shepherd’s heart. You can trust Him. He’s Good.

I know. Because He’s my Father.

Let’s grow in grace together,

Shelley
