Living for Jesus, loving Him, and listening for His voice bring me great joy. I'm an inspirational writer, blogger, and podcaster who also loves to photograph creation.

I hope writing from your heart has helped your grief Wendy. I will be thinking of you and your loved ones. Your writing is wonderful and uplifting. Hugs Xx
Thank you for words that hug. Writing and weeping work wonders when I read His Words of loving hope. Joy comes after the mourning; there’s no shortcut from grief to peace. <3
I don’t think my comment got on the blogsite, but I want to let you know, Wendy, how I appreciate your blog on forgiving and loving. Your post is sensitively written, so as not to hurt anyone, but it also lets us know that you have been hurt too—a delicate balance for sharing no-harm memoir. I applaud your writing. May your writing reach and bless the ones who would benefit from hearing your perspective.
Thank you, dear Sharon. You’ve expressed my heart’s desire: “May (my) writing reach and bless the ones who would benefit from hearing (my) perspective.” Amen. <3 Blessings as God brings your words before the readers He desires to read them too.
Thank you, sweet friend. <3 I still remember the first time I visited your blog and was awed by the beauty of Wales through your amazing photography. I often daydream of visiting–one day.
Beautifully written to the glory of God! He will keep you as His grace is sufficient for our every need and has already used you as a blessing to all you read your post…thanks so much for sharing.
Very inspiring Wendy, it made me recalibrate today remembering that God has given us literally everything from breath to relationships to every blessing we have. Who are we to withhold love and kindness to anyone or anything on this earth? Taking deep breaths before difficult conversations usually means we’re on the right path. Narrow, and lonely, but still the right direction. Thank you, Blessings!
Yes, Brad, “narrow and lonely… is still the right direction.” Thank you for your wise reminder. Blessings to you both. 🙂 May we focus on what God has given us in the present instead of on what we haven’t gotten in the past.
It’s often in the tears that joy bubbles up, when we battle our own wounded selves, we do somehow become aware, that this is how our Lord applies healing balm. It is not always possible to forget, but He can be trusted with our memories. Love always.

Beautifully written, Wendy.
Thank you, dear Irene. God writes beauty from the ashes in our lives—doesn’t He? <3

Thank you and amen to His grace. May I always focus on His sufficiency rather than on what’s insufficient in me or others.

Lovely, Wendy, sad but lovely.
Thank you, dear Jean. <3 Joy is steeped in tears and served in Christ's royal china.
It’s often in the tears that joy bubbles up, when we battle our own wounded selves, we do somehow become aware, that this is how our Lord applies healing balm. It is not always possible to forget, but He can be trusted with our memories. Love always.
Amen to: “He can be trusted…”
thank you for being vulnerable and letting God use your story and gift of writing!
Thank you, Heidi. I appreciate the same things about your blog, dear friend. Your children are blessed to call you their mother. <3
