Thankful

~ Extravagant Hope ~ Leave a comment

Thankfulness. There’s something beautiful and healing about being thankful, and not just with the big ticket things. But with deeply personal, gentle surprises and delights that you know Jesus planned just for you…

*the way the breeze brushes your skin
*the coziness of a coffee shop on a blustery day
*the whisper of His voice through a splashing stream
*the gentle purr of a fluffy white cat sleeping across your shoulders
*the peace that falls on you as you sit in the Redwoods
*the quiet beauty of a summer night stargazing…

When I recognize that these little things are hand picked by Jesus to bring me joy, smiles, and contentment it makes them all the more precious and special…just for me simply because He loves me. He loves you, too.

Divine Journey

~ Extravagant Hope ~ Leave a comment

🌿 Have you ever felt like you need to slow down and just breathe?

The Divine Series is for the moments when you need to feel God’s arms wrapping you up in His presence.

He’s there…

on a hike through the Redwoods 🌲

as you sip your morning coffee ☕

in the chatter of a mountain stream 💧

in a whispered prayer 🙏

when you need to remember that you are not alone ❤️

Through poetry, short stories, Scripture, and reflections inspired by nature, these devotionals give you space to relax and experience God’s presence in the beauty of everyday life.

If this speaks to your heart, I invite you to take a look at the Divine Series and see where the journey takes you. Perhaps one of these books will become a much-loved companion for your own journey with God. ❤️
