When Life Forces A Pause
June 2017 When Life Forces a Pause This month has been unexpectedly quiet on the blog — not by choice, but by circumstance. A few weeks ago, I had a fall down the stairs, and it left me physically slowed down and unable to write. At first, I felt frustrated. So much I wanted to…
Finding God in the Ordinary
April 2017 Finding God in the Ordinary This month has reminded me that God often shows up in the ordinary moments — the quiet, behind-the-scenes work that doesn’t always feel exciting but is still meaningful. With Blossom Braid International, there are days that feel mundane: writing blog posts, editing resources, answering emails, or planning projects…
March 2017 Obedience Through Busy Seasons This month has felt full — full of projects, ideas, and opportunities. Blossom Braid International is slowly finding its rhythm, and Daisy Change Media keeps moving alongside it. Some days it feels like there’s too much to do, too many little details to manage. But I’m learning that obedience…
Creativity as Calling
February 2017 Creativity as Calling This month, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means for creativity to be more than just a skill — for it to be a calling. Blossom Braid International has been growing quietly, and with that growth comes the reminder that creativity is a gift God has entrusted to…
Celebrating Small Wins
January 2017 Celebrating the Small Wins The start of a new year always feels full of possibilities. For Blossom Braid International, 2017 began quietly but with a sense of encouragement — little wins that reminded me God is faithful, even in the small things. Looking back over the past year, I can see seeds planted,…
Celebrating the seeds planted
December 2016 Celebrating the Seeds Planted As the year comes to a close, I find myself looking back on the quiet beginnings of Blossom Braid International with gratitude. This year has not been about grand launches, large audiences, or instant success. It has been about faithful steps — listening, obeying, and trusting God in the…
Faithfulness in Waiting Seasons
November 2016 Faithfulness in Waiting Seasons Waiting is hard. I’ve spent months learning that obedience does not always come with immediate results, applause, or visible progress. Blossom Braid International has grown quietly, often unnoticed, and that’s been both frustrating and humbling. But waiting is not wasted. Faithfulness in the middle of a waiting season looks…
When Faith Requires Letting Go Of Control
October 2016 When Faith Requires Letting Go of Control One of the quieter lessons this season is teaching me is how tightly I like to hold control. Not in obvious ways — but in subtle ones. Wanting to manage outcomes. Wanting reassurance. Wanting to know that the steps I’m taking will lead somewhere safe and…
Trusting God With What’s Still Unclear
September 2016 Trusting God With What’s Still Unclear There are parts of this journey with Blossom Braid International that remain unresolved. Questions without answers. Direction that feels partial. A sense of calling without a complete picture of where it leads. And I’m learning that this isn’t a problem to fix — it’s a posture to…
When You’re Building Something You Can’t Fully Explain
August 2016 When You’re Building Something You Can’t Fully Explain One of the strangest parts of this season has been trying to explain Blossom Braid International to other people. Not because it isn’t real — but because it’s still forming. When something is clear and established, it’s easy to describe. But when you’re in the…
