Joy & Encouragement

In Every Season

Sometimes this life brings joy, while other times it brings tears.  When we lean in to hear the quiet whisperings of God, we can find peace and beauty in it all.  

Below are handwritten devotionals when I have felt God tenderly speak words of encouragement and peace into my heart. Sometimes He quiets my worries, while other times He nudges me to focus on the beauty of the season I am in. No matter what season you find yourself in, I pray these devotionals would help you feel the love of Christ and His peace would wash over you.

Blessings,

Emily
