I woke up in the middle of the night recently. That never happens to me. Here’s why. I felt anxious and my mind was racing with all that’s happening in our world.

On Peanut Butter Pie & Hope

July 27, 2020July 27, 2020Leave a comment

By: Hannah Deaton The first dessert I ever made from scratch was peanut butter pie from my mom’s brown rooster cookbook. This is one of those family cookbooks with the cover falling off and the pages stained from sticky, ingredient covered fingers (a cookbook you can trust). To make this pie you must first prepare … Continue reading On Peanut Butter Pie & Hope

What does it mean to be authentic?

May 8, 2020May 8, 2020Leave a comment

In preparation for this post, I asked several friends what they think it means to be authentic. Here’s what I kept seeing over and over: Authenticity means being “open,” “honest,” “genuine,” “real with your emotions,” “having actions that match words.” But I learned a new definition of AUTHENTICITY recently that takes these ideas to a … Continue reading What does it mean to be authentic?

7 Ways to Deepen your Prayer Life

April 15, 2020April 15, 20201 Comment

When God Seems Silent: Part 3

February 7, 2020February 7, 2020Leave a comment

We are all close with the people we live with--maybe sometimes too close ;). Those treasured people know all our flaws, imperfections, annoyances and failures. God knows all of them too. But oftentimes, we think we can "hide" who we are from Him. We turn on music and the TV to drown out the insecure … Continue reading When God Seems Silent: Part 3

When God Seems Silent: Part 2

February 2, 2020February 2, 2020Leave a comment

Have you ever people-watched? It can be very enlightening AND entertaining. If you stay silent long enough, you'll notice a lot about a person--how they interact, what they value, where they invest their time.
