I got these pumpkin cookies off of  @kristinmadeinc  and they are too good not to share, For Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 f. Mix butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar until combined.

fresh spaces for a new season

Fall will be upon us in two days and I am so excited for all those fall feels but I am also excited for a couple new things I hope to do in this space, I am hoping to start two new series (my first ones) here on the blog, "Stories" where I will (hopefully) be highlighting eight people in their stories, and "Intentionality" which will just be once a week where I maybe will share new recipes, room decor, products, thoughts, or moments that are intentional for me and you. This isn't the only space I hope to make fresh, being intentional I have made a fresh space in my dot journal, in my room, and in other places that I will be sharing with you today. Almost as if you are tearing off a page in your to do list for the past season you can write a new one for now. This year for my dot/bullet journal I choose the theme of pumpkins, new growth for a new season if you will. I also incorporated cursive to represent the delicacies of life. I did a simple line calendar t...

flourish in identity...

Hey y'all, remember #devtalktuesday well it's Tuesday and I have something to say soooooooooooo “The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭ASV‬‬ I came that I may have life and have it abundantly... Whoa. When we are SO caught up in being insecure or afraid or any other robbing emotion we miss out on the fact that Jesus GAVE us a womderful life to live to the FULLEST and the best part... Well God doesn't stop there, notice he keeps on going and saying AND MAY HAVE IT ABUNDANTLY I know I came on strong with the all caps but it's true. Face the facts -we were given a life from God. - he also asked us to live it abundantly - if we hid in fear we aren't living abundantly... So what can we do to stop living in fear and live our life like it's ours, to the fullest. We'll take time in the morning to pray and "fuel up" to face to day, if you ...
