I’ve longed for a life of calm contemplation…

But my days hold more chaos than quiet.

Years ago, I began to experience the power of spiritual practices. Things like solitude and silence, journaling, and exploring my inner life with God.

As an introvert who felt most alive when I spent time alone, I thought I needed LOTS of time and space for reflection in order to grow spiritually.

But as I got older and life got fuller–with the addition of kids and work and the normal, everyday stress of life–I found that I couldn’t just rely on quiet times to sustain me.

I had to discover how to grow in the chaos too.

Here’s what I’m learning:

The chaos in my life doesn’t keep me from God, but is actually the pathway to growth.

I still love the quiet, and intentionally carve out time for solitude and stillness. But I’m finding that God wants to meet me in the loudness of life too.

If you feel the tension of wanting to get away from it all–but also want to learn to embrace the reality of your everyday life–this is the space for you.

One of my biggest passions is helping people create space for God in every season of life, even when it seems impossible. There are so many simple, creative ways to connect with Jesus, even when you don’t have a lot of quiet or time.

Through writing, teaching, and spiritual formation coaching, I help people like you uncover your unique path to growth and connection with Jesus–in the chaos AND the quiet.
