Just Ordinary or Holy?
Isn’t it something how life can feel like a repeat button? Grocery store — again.Laundry — again.Same routines — every day. And somewhere in between — we see someone else’s “big” moment and quietly wonder — am I making any difference at all? We feel it deep down — that tug toward something more. Ecclesiastes…
Hearing God When We’re Just Ordinary
Mary was just a teenage girl in a quiet town — no spotlight, no social media following, no impressive resume. Just ordinary days, family routines, and maybe a few daydreams about her future. Then one day — right in the middle of regular life — an angel shows up. Not just any angel — Gabriel…
Faith Footprints
I was thinking the other day about what kind of faith footprints am I leaving behind? Not my shoe size (though that’s been the same since 9th grade), but the kind that make an eternal difference. We spend so much time tracking steps on our fitness watches, trying to hit that 10,000 mark like our…
Sacred in the Ordinary

Cheers to the Underachievers who Overcame
I love following my friends’ posts on Facebook and social media — especially this time of year when they are proudly celebrating their children’s graduations and academic achievements, as well as announcing the ivy league or major state universities that they will be attending in the fall. I always congratulate the entire family because it…
Leaving Behind Faith Footprints
On Thursday, a dear uncle graduated to heaven and, of course, thoughts go to the precious memories we made together, as well as the legacy and the footprints he left for us to follow. He was a beautiful soul, but most impactful, was his last year and a half where he lovingly, tenderly and devotedly…
