No one likes the unpredictability of life and the storms it brings our way. Steady in the Storm documents Shonah’s personal journey as she navigates through the storm of her husband’s addiction as a newlywed. 

Holding Tension

Life is not clear. Direction is not always clear. Our feelings and emotions are even less obvious. Most people are natural problem solvers. We don’t like discomfort, not knowing what’s coming or desire to achieve the outcome more than process and live the journey. I’m learning more and more that life is about holding the…

The Wisdom of Adam and Eve

When you think of the word stewardship, what comes to mind for you?  I always affiliated this word with stewarding finances.  Tithing, saving, pay taxes, these are the responsible ways to steward.  I was always pretty good with stewarding my money.  I never really accumulated debt, paid off my car in five years instead of the…

Running Out of Options

My brain is shutting down. There is too much to process. My brain has stopped nicely filing every chaotic event into manila folders, to be processed and digested, and has started throwing papers into the air, lighting a match and burning them all. Where do you even begin to process? Things are in chaos everywhere.…

Why I Wrote a Book, or Two

We’ve all had the conversation, what would you do for a living if you didn’t have to worry about how much it paid? I remember having this conversation with a few co-workers about ten years ago. I surprised myself with my answer. I said I would be an author and public speaker. When asked what…
