Anonymous asked: Hello Mary Catherine! I just happened to come across your blog while looking for perspectives on tilling the soil of our heart and found your entry from April. It was so beautiful. One of my dear friends is facing a breast cancer diagnosis and I shared it with her this morning. You are just a precious young woman and I wanted to say thank you for your obedience and your writing! I will be...
questions & answers : Glow Tricks
One of you asked :
oh my oh my! your skin is GORGEOUS! what do you use or what is your beauty routine to make it so glowy (?)
Well gracious me, you are too kind first of all. And secondly, I have no secret formula, however there are a few little things I have picked up along the way and incorporated into my daily routine that are most helpful at achieving a bit of glow. Most will not be...
pimento cheese & home
Late night snack of mom’s pimento cheese & wheat thins make for a pretty ending to a reunion-filled Friday night.
Alas, my body is still on Central Time, so I’m sleepless and consequently bored. Here are a few things that have caught my eye as of late. Enjoy :)

peace, not as the world gives.
Oh friends, how are you? Have you been reading my sweet Ashlyn’s ponderings on the Advent season? How wonderful, right? My heart is tracking right along with her there.
As I pack to go home to Albany for Christmas for the first time as a working adult, my heart is just in a season of wrestling, brokenness, peace and trust. This week I prayed for peace - begged for peace - over a...

I have come to believe the sooner we find this truth beautiful, the sooner we will fall in love with the God who keeps shaking things up, keeps...
songs

a crucifix, as did He.
Love once said to me, “I know a song, would you like to hear it?”

He sang,

I believe he’s on to something. Hear me say (you darling collegiates) that life after college is a wild ride that I believe took off before checking to make sure I was...
taking us into the weekend
via lovelife.
Dear friends, how has your week been?
Mine brimmed over with work, preparing for Leona’s Sample Sale (more on this soon!), many post-thanksgiving catch-ups and days of much, much needed down time in Nashville. I can’t explain how blessed this week has been. The Lord is moving, not just in my life, but in our generation. He’s stirring up women who are fiercely...
