In Bloom.
A journal of beauty, belief, and becoming — curated from the heart of The Peony Vale.
For Unto Us
A Christmas Eve meditation on breath restored, weight rightly born, and the child who came to carry it all.
When All Felt Lost, You Were Found
When everything felt lost and the way forward unclear, God did not leave. He found you, called you by name, and stayed with you through the fire.
Autumn Light
A quiet reflection on Kansas reds, Colorado golds, motherhood, and the deeper shift God is orchestrating this autumn. One faith-filled step at a time.
The Power of Quiet Courage
Courage isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s found in the stillness — the quiet strength that follows battle, where faith learns to rest and Heaven never overlooks the unseen.
Building a Home That Heals
After years of wandering and rebuilding from the ruins, Building a Home That Heals reflects on what it means to make a house a home again—where restoration, courage, and the quiet presence of God take root.
The Valley Between
I wrestled with the word vale—another name for valley. Why would I build a foundation there? But Psalm 84:6 reminded me that valleys are not forever. They are the places we pass through—where tears become springs, and the weeping place becomes a garden.
The Beauty of Beginning Again
We are never really starting from scratch - only from experience wrapped in new mercy. What began as another attempt to run became a meeting place with God, where shame gave way to grace and defeat gave way to resurrection.
Welcome to The Peony Vale
A new beginning rooted in familiar soil. A space of warmth, welcome, and restoration — where beauty takes root again and the Lord proves faithful in the quiet work beneath the surface.
