Lately I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to feel behind. Even in a season that looks full from the outside — preparing to launch a book — I still find myself wondering if I missed my moment somewhere along the way. Maybe y I didn’t write this book from a mountaintop. I wrote it from a season I didn’t understand. A porch. A wind chime. A small voice asking big questions. That’s where this story began. Available now — link in bio. A spring Friday. No school. Cookies. A read-aloud. Local friends, come celebrate the launch of The Wind & His Word with us at Humble Roots Collective on April 3rd (1-3 PM, drop-in). Bring your kiddos. Bring a friend. Come say hello. This is exactly why I wrote The Wind & His Word. For little hearts. For the forming years. For the moments that quietly shape a kiddo’s view of who God is. My prayer for this book has always been simple — that children would know Her name is Ruby. You’ll meet her soon. March is getting closer… #thewindandhisword Some collaborations feel strategic.

I’m not inviting you to unfollow — I’d like to invite you to stay. 🤍 What would change if we stopped praying apologetically… and started trusting instead? Jesus invites us to pray like children — honest, hopeful, and unafraid to ask. Maybe today, we start there. 🤍 We tend to treat margin like a reward — something we earn once everything is finished and everyone is cared for. But Scripture shows us something quieter and more true. Full Dear Mama letter on Substack. 🤍 This week in @compelprowriters, we talked about platform, and this prayer surfaced for me. I don’t want influence without integrity, or visibility that outgrows vulnerability. Scripture reminds us not to despise small beginnings — tha When I’m rushed, I’m less tender — with my family, my words, even my own heart. 🤍 Margin, I’m learning, is where that tenderness is restored. Where do you need it right now?
