Welcome, friend!
Hi there! I’m Bethany, and I’m so glad you’re here for a quiet chat. What can you expect to find as you look around this site? Hopefully, a lot of encouragement, a restful atmosphere for your weary heart, and, most importantly, verses and thoughts that point you to Jesus.
For anything you may be facing today, I have one answer: Jesus! He truly is the answer to every question, the solution to every problem, and your very life.
“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:4
Does the burden of life, with its labor and strife,
Leave you weary at heart, searching for a fresh start?
There is rest for the weary and hope for the dreary in Christ.
Do you long to draw near to your Savior so dear,
To find freedom, sweet peace, and from fear a release?
There is rest for the weary and hope for the dreary in Christ.
As daughters of the King of kings, you and I are loved and valued–more than precious rubies! In spite of all of our imperfections, God treasures us and patiently works to make us more like Himself.
A big part of that process is learning to rest in the Lord and to let Him do. In the same way that you couldn’t save yourself through works, you also cannot sanctify yourself through your own strength. You must rest in Christ and trust Him to do it.
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7

Are you looking for Christian fiction that deals with the troubles of life but also keeps your mind focused on pure and lovely things and points you to Jesus? My writing has been described by readers as gentle, relaxing, sweet, slice-of-life, emotional, gripping, real-to-life, and encouraging.
Do you feel like you are trying to juggle everything in life, you are always behind, and you never have time to work on the things that are most important to you? Or, maybe you are someone with a disability or chronic illness, and you find yourself needing to live a slower-paced life.
I can relate, friend. My life is daily impacted by chronic illness, and avoiding an overly full schedule is a work in progress. I would love for you to join that journey so I can share what Jesus has been teaching me about resting in Him, slowing down, and making time for what is truly important on my Christian journey to slow living.
Through blog articles, books, songs, and printable items, I enjoy pointing other ladies to Jesus!
