I love this for you all, Kim!! Looks like an amazing time. I would be lying if I wasn't a little jealous of you all. (I know we aren't supposed to say that out loud.) Hoping someday I have this sort of community of my own. 💚

Say it out loud friend. I hear you and have been there. Here’s to finding community and I’m so glad to be in yours and call you friend!

Thanks for sharing about Exhale Creative — I had never heard of them before but I am definitely feeling that tension of being a mama trying to write.

And I’d love to be entered into the Glynis Nellis drawing!

Thank you, Kim, for including a giveaway of my new communion book. I love the idea of blessings... (my next book, Bedtime Blessings: God's Perfect Peace, is all about the power of blessing our children before they go to sleep.)

“Blessings have grit and grace, they know how beautiful and terrifying the world can be.”

Love this so much! I read Habits of the Household a few months ago, and the writer talks about the power of blessings. My kids and I do a before-school-blessing in car lane each morning, and it’s exactly the way you phrased it - grit and grace.
