A simple prayer walking devotional led to small but real changes in our home—less anxiety, more connection, and a renewed focus on rejoicing.

A week of Twins Fantasy Camp, family memories, and unexpected joy reminded me how easy it is to spot God’s gifts on vacation—and how important it is to notice them in everyday life too.

Anticipation isn’t just about waiting—it shapes how we live today. Watching my girls get ready for their first airplane ride reminded me how preparation, priorities, and small faithful choices matter, both on a trip and in life.

As 2025 wraps up, I’m reflecting on family, running, summer memories, and the lessons this year has taught me. My focus for 2026? Being faithful in the small things.
