One thing you’ll never see me do is place flowers One thing you’ll never see me do is place flowers in a vase and leave them exactly as they came. I love taking the time to shape each stem, following its natural movement and allowing it to find its place in the arrangement. Whether I’m working with fresh blooms or faux florals, I’m always drawn to arrangements that feel airy, soft, and as though they could have been gathered straight from the garden.

Faith has taught me a similar lesson. Life isn’t always meant to be perfectly straight and neatly arranged. So much of faith feels the same way. Sometimes God does His best work in the bends, the stretching, and the shaping. We flourish not when we resist every bend in the road, but when we allow God to shape us. And often, that’s where the beauty begins to emerge in us.🤍#flowerarrangement #flowerstyling
Hi friends, can we take a moment to appreciate how Hi friends, can we take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous these garden roses are? 

Something that had me thinking…just as these roses unfold petal by petal, God reveals His plans for us one grace-filled step at a time. In every season, His hands are at work creating beauty beyond what we can see. Hold on to your faith and keep on trusting.

“Be still and know…” Psalm 46 Earlier this week, “Be still and know…” Psalm 46 

Earlier this week, we received the good news…After another three months, the tumors remain stable! ‘Stable’…one word that carry more meaning than I can fully express.

I’m reminded how a year ago unfolded in seasons - finishing Chemo at the beginning of the year, radiation in the spring, summer, and fall…and facing unexpected challenges along the way.

Each day, I thank God for his endless grace (seen and unseen). For the miracle of stability. For the peace that only He can give.

God has carried me through every season - every fear, every setback, every unknown. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude…beyond words can describe. 

I don’t take this moment for granted. I know how quickly things can change, and that more trials may still lie ahead. But as I looked back on these past 20 years of living with cancer, I’m reminded - I have nothing to fear. Not because the road is easy, but because I have never walked it alone (Trust…I’m always asking Him to increase within me). I only ask that the Lord continues to carry my cross with me, and give me the strength to sustain what lies ahead.

There is so much grace in “stable”.

Thank you all for your continued prayers…I truly know they’re a treasure.
The Resurrection of our Lord, where faith is renew The Resurrection of our Lord, where faith is renewed and hope is revealed to us in its fullest light. Happy Easter.
Created this arrangement with the simplicity of wh Created this arrangement with the simplicity of white blooms. I’m reminded that Lent is about creating room for God to move — in our homes and in our hearts. Stillness. Reflection. Surrender. Grace. Renewal. 🌿This is the rhythm of Lent and what the new season can bring.

This vintage gold frame holds the most beautiful piece of artwork titled “In His Footsteps” from @_lightyourhome_ — and it completely transformed the space. The soft, peaceful imagery paired with the ornate gold detailing adds depth, warmth, and intention to our built-ins.

Design, to me, isn’t just about styling shelves… it’s about telling a story. Creating a home that reflects faith, beauty, and quiet moments of reflection. Because the most beautiful spaces are the ones that mean something. 🤍

After visiting and praying before the relics of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, this past Friday brought scan results with encouraging signs — stability, decrease, and continued hope. We’ll keep moving forward with my current treatment and monitoring in the months ahead, continuing to trust in God’s plan each step of the way.

Thank you for your continued prayers, support and quiet strength you continue to surround me with from afar. 🙏🌹

Dear friends—I hope this season has been kind to y Dear friends—I hope this season has been kind to you. 🤍 It’s been a quiet few months here, but this season felt like the right moment to return to say…Hello. 

As we pause to celebrate Christmas, may your home be wrapped in His peace and your spirit strengthened by the assurance of His love for you and me.

There’s something so captivating about driving alo There’s something so captivating about driving along the mountain road this time of year — when I see the distant peaks covered in autumn color — creating a breathtaking landscape. It’s a sight that always stops me in awe — a living reminder of God’s artistry in creation.

At home, I love bringing a similar color palette indoors, mirroring the mountains in autumn. By preserving hydrangeas from our backyard, I’ve been able to introduce even more shades — burgundy, plum, teal, and antique blue.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” -Psalm 19:1
