Sandy,

Your comment means a lot. This post was a tiny bit difficult to write and I almost didn’t post it for a few reasons. Thanks for the big dose of encouragement. I always hope you ladies know that it really does spur me on and keep me going. Isn’t that quite a word?! I had never heard of it but when I came across it, knew that was going to be the word for Riley’s dad in the crossword puzzle. It seems like so small a thing, but in so many ways, that word–and it’s definition–puts voice to something all of us feel in some way or another, about some thing or another.

I understand that word, but never knew there was a word for that definition. If that makes sense. LOL I am sure this will minister to just the right ones it was intended for. Keep that sweet gentle heart of yours penning the words that reach deep into our being. So many need it.

Thank you for the gift of this post, and the beauty of your book!!

Jenna, Just so please to think that this post was timely for you. I’m so glad you popped in! I am in that same place so often and it’s such a comfort to know God is there, isn’t it? Hugs to you.

I’m extra intrigued now hehe This post was very inspiring, kinda goes with what I’ve been dealing with lately in finding that no matter how hard things might be I have a Heavenly Father who wont ever let me down. He is always there for us when we need a safe place to go to!

It was one of my favorite parts of your book. So cool to see your perspective on the meaning of this luscious word! And next you will be sharing another favorite part of the book of mine (I actually read it to my teenage daughter)… Can’t wait to hear the behind story for this awesome illustration. Blessings to you for continuing this for us.

Something that is used for His glory!
