Beloved Life

📖 There's a woman in Scripture who was placed exactly where she was — for exactly such a time as that.

And I don't think it was an accident that I was deep in Esther during a season when I was asking God the same question she probably asked herself: "Am I really the right person for this?"

My first Into the Margins episode is live — I'm flipping through my journaling Bible and showing you the notes, underlines, and margin moments that hit me hardest in the book of Esther.

Tell me in the comments — have you ever studied Esther? What stopped you in your tracks? 👇

If you've ever struggled to keep a journaling Bible open while you write or highlight... a spiral binding is a total game changer. 📖

It lays flat on its own — no hands required. You can doodle, highlight, take notes, all without fighting the spine.

This is exactly why I chose one for my niece's very first journaling Bible. Full video is on the channel now. Link in bio! 👇

📖 Mid-year check-in — how's your Bible study actually going?

I just posted a new video walking through what my study life has really looked like the last six months. Not the plan I had. What actually happened.

From BSF's Exile & Return study in Ezra, Nehemiah & Esther → to journaling through Acts with the BEMA Podcast → to doing the Relaxed study with a group of friends this summer.

And what I learned is this: consistency doesn't mean doing the same thing all year. It just means keep showing up.If you've drifted from your Bible study rhythm — or if you're wondering how to set yourself up well for fall — this one's for you.

Quick tips for anyone tabbing their own Bible! 📖

1️⃣ Find the exact page edge before you place the tab

2️⃣ Wrap it evenly — half on the front, half folded to the back

3️⃣ **Most important step:** double check only ONE page is sandwiched between the two halves of the tab before you press it down — grabbing extra pages is the #1 reason tabs end up crooked or torn

4️⃣ Press it down firmly and smooth it out (a bone folder works, but honestly my thumbnail does the job)

That's it — clean tabs that actually stay put. Full video showing all 66 tabs in action is up now. Link in bio! 👇

Grab your coffee and come sit with me for a minute. ☕

I'm back. And I have so much I want to share with you.

This summer I've been doing something that's been filling my soul
in the best way — a slow, unhurried morning Bible study practice
that's been making me actually want to show up every single day.

Fresh, faith-filled content is here, and I am so ready for this
season together. 🌿

My Summer Bible Study Setup video is live now! Take a peek and watch it, I think you're going to love it. 🎥

Hey friends — I have something I've been wanting to share with you.

First, I owe you a bit of honesty — I've been MIA for quite some time. Life got full in some of the best and hardest ways, seasons shifted, and I needed time to figure out what I actually wanted this channel to be before I just jumped back in. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for still being here.

If you've been around here before, you know this channel started as Beloved Plans — a place for planning, budget planners, and all things productivity. And honestly? That season was so good. I loved every minute of it.

But something has been stirring in me, and life is shifting a bit more and I’d love to share it with you.

I'm in a new season of life. Our kids are growing up, I'm stepping fully into my insurance broker role, transitioning out of a part-time ministry position, and I'm standing at the door of midlife wondering what this next chapter is actually supposed to look like. Maybe you're standing at that same door. (Let’s face it, I’m likely already through the door, but maybe just a toe or two :-P)

And through all of the transition, the uncertainty, the excitement and the hard days — the thing that keeps grounding me is my faith. My Bible. The quiet moments in the morning with the Lord before the day gets loud and life begins to happen

So this channel is evolving.

Beloved Plans is becoming Beloved Life.

Same me. Same heart. But a fuller, more honest picture of what it looks like to walk through this season with faith as my foundation.

You'll find Bible study walkthroughs here — what I'm reading, what's wrecking me in the best way, what God is teaching me in real time. You'll find honest conversations about midlife — the identity shifts, the beautiful parts, the parts nobody warned you about. And you'll find the everyday stuff — the things I'm using, loving, and learning as I figure out who I am in this next chapter.

This is grace filled plans for the messy middle.

I'm so glad you're still here for it. 🌿
