What’s one way you’ve seen God’s faithfulness recently?

Over and over.
Again and again.

GOD IS FAITHFUL.💛

👇 I’d love to hear your story.

A few months ago my friend Renee was telling me a story.
Years ago, she and her husband were struggling financially. There wasn’t really money for “extras,” and even shopping felt discouraging because she knew she couldn’t really buy anything.
One day her mother-in-law invited her to go shopping.
Renee didn’t really want to go.
Not because she didn’t love spending time with her mother-in-law but because walking through the store when money is tight felt hard. Like a reminder of all the things you need but can’t justify buying.
And one thing she really needed?
A new wallet.
Her old one was literally falling apart.
On the drive over, her mother-in-law could tell something was bothering her and asked if she was okay. Renee admitted she didn’t really have money to be shopping.
Her mother-in-law gently asked, “Well… is there anything you need?”
Renee mentioned the wallet, but quickly added that she couldn’t afford one.
“Well, what could you afford?” her mother-in-law asked.
Renee laughed and said, “Honestly? Maybe five dollars.”
And I love what happened next!
Her mother-in-law said, “Okay. Before we go into the store, let’s pray and ask God to help you find a wallet for five dollars.”
Such a simple prayer.
The kind of prayer kids pray all the time.
The kind adults often stop praying because we’ve convinced ourselves it’s “too small” to bother God with.
So they sat in the car outside the store and prayed about a wallet.
Then they walked inside.
Renee figured they’d probably shop for groceries or practical things first, but her mother-in-law made a beeline straight toward the purse section.
“Let’s go see if God provided,” she said.
And there it was.
A clearance rack.
And sitting right in the middle was a wallet that perfectly matched the purse Renee already owned.
The price?
Exactly five dollars.
Not $4.99.
Not “close enough.”
Five dollars exactly.
Only God.
I love this story so much!
Not because the wallet itself was life changing… but because it was such a personal reminder that God sees us.
Even in the little things.
Children seem to understand this naturally. They pray about everything. Lost toys, good grades, rain to go away.

We love getting to see where our blessing boxes end up. 🤍

Kitchen tables in the middle of the madness of Maycember…
a quiet reminder that God is in the middle of it all too.

Not just in the big milestones but in the carpools, dance competitions, baseball games, late-night homework, hard conversations, answered prayers, and ordinary little moments.

A place to pause in the chaos and remember.
Those little moments become the stories your family tells for years to come.

An email about this research on family stories and resilience came across my inbox this week, and after a really uncertain week for our family, it hit especially close to home.

Not because it points to perfect families…but because it points to connected ones.

Families who talk about the hard seasons. Families who remember how God showed up. Families who can say:“We’ve been through hard things before — and we made it through.”

I think our kids need that reminder now more than ever.

Especially in a world full of highlight reels and carefully polished versions of life.

There’s something grounding about knowing your family’s real story — the good parts, the hard parts, and all the ordinary moments in between.

Maybe our kids don’t need to be protected from every hard thing.

Maybe they also need to see what it looks like to walk through uncertainty with faith, honesty, resilience, and hope.

Packing up some Blessing Box kits to drop in the mail today 💚

I really think summer is such a sweet time to start this tradition — slower evenings, family trips, funny moments, answered prayers, hard days, little reminders of God’s goodness.

Over time, all those little blessings become threads in your family’s story… stories your kids will remember and tell someday too.

Plant blessings. Watch faith grow. 🌿

A winter storm is coming ❄️
And if you’re in the South like me, it means there’s a chance we’ll be without power for a bit.

As I started thinking about what will we do? I realized how rarely we sit in silence anymore…

My family doesn’t know it yet, we’re choosing candlelight and stories. 😆
Storytelling like families used to.

Remembering our family stories.
Noticing God’s faithfulness.
Wondering and seeking the Lord together.

Sharing a few thought starters in case they’re helpful for your table too.

The heart behind Faith Blooms is this:
that stories of God’s faithfulness in our own lives would be remembered…
told and retold, so the next generation knows where hope comes from…
that we’d pause long enough to notice the good, even in hard seasons…
and that gratitude would become a rhythm of everyday life.

When we remember what God has done,
we teach our hearts—and our kids—who He is.

This is more than a note.
It’s a seed of faith being planted.
