I'm a poet and artist, wife and mom, living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
I write poetic prayers for everyday life in this beautiful and broken world: words for incredible joy and incredible grief, for what I'm learning in Scripture, for perspective and purpose in the mundane.
Poetic prayer has become a way for me to bring my emotions to God. To let them speak, and then give God the final word. To look to Scripture for His character and His response to experiences like mine, and ultimately to the hope of heaven, even in the middle of this earthly mess.
I’ve been writing the poems I need since 2018. And sometimes, wonderfully, those words encourage folks I've never met. That's what I hope to do here: point people through poetry to Jesus.
If that's you, I'm really glad you're here.

For Those Who Wait: Poems for Advent is an Advent devotional for the weary and waiting, offering poetic prayers and Scripture for holding hope, peace, joy, and love in the tension between what God’s promises already fulfilled and the promises still to come.
These are a few ways to bring these words into your everyday life, or help make space for more of them.
