I love this quote - and my green Converse shoes! Isn’t it encouraging to know that Jesus has walked in our shoes. Whatever we go through, He understands. His compassion and love is abundant!

Happy National Nature Photography Day! I got a pho

Happy National Nature Photography Day! I got a photography crystal for my birthday and tried it out today. This is my very first shot with it so be gracious! It’s going to take a lot of practice, but I think it’s going to be really fun. Have you ever tried one?

Did you know? According to the Smithsonian’s Nat

Did you know? According to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute, “A ruby-throated hummingbird's heart beats from 225 times per minute when the bird is at rest to more than 1,200 times per minute when it is flying. Its wings beat about 70 times per second in direct flight and more than 200 times per second while diving.”

Hummingbirds are fascinating creatures. In so many ways they shouldn’t exist. They shouldn’t be able to do what they do. Yet, they just zip around living their best lives. There’s a lesson in there for us. In life, lots of people will tell you something can’t be done. They’ll discourage your dream and try to pull you from the stars back down to earth. But if you have a dream, I say Go For It! Dream big. Work hard. Believe the unlikely and impossible. After all, it’s only impossible until you do it!

This week I have some tests on my heart. I’ll be thinking about the hummingbird and how God made it just right for His purposes. Just like me! My body isn’t “normal” but it’s just right for God’s purposes. He can use all the impossible things about my life to point others to Him. And if one person is drawn closer to God because of my crazy health issues or the impossiblities of a hummingbird, it makes it all worth it!

Are you chasing a dream that feels impossible? I’d love to hear about it and cheer you on!

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” ~Psalm 139:14, NIV

Happy Flower Friday, friends! It’s still peony season and I just can’t get enough. I adore these white and pink striped peonies with the pop of yellow in the middle. What color peony is your favorite?

Have I mentioned how much I love this book? Or that I had the privilege of endorsing it? Okay, maybe once or twice! 😉 But did you know part of my endorsement made the back cover? How cool is that?!

As I prepare to go through more medical tests next week, I’m keeping this book close for encouragement and to remind me God’s still in the miracle business!

Have you read Tracy’s book yet? It’s available now from https://amzn.to/3tC0FJW or your favorite retailer!

On my way home from the doctor yesterday I had to stop and get a picture of this beautiful scene. It screams “Wisconsin!” to me. I love it! Aren’t these cows cute? What’s your favorite farm animal?
