Welcome, friend. I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re new to Peaceful Streams, these posts are a good place to begin: simple stories and reflections about resting in God’s love instead of striving to earn it. Pick whichever one speaks to you, and take your time.

Rest and Stillness

Come to Me
Why do we try to clean ourselves up before coming to God, when Jesus simply invites the weary to come as we are?

Peacefulness
A few quiet minutes beside the creek at the edge of our property, and a gentle word about letting peace be my compass.

The Way of Stillness
A short meditation on coming to the Lord with no agenda and no prayer list, only a desire to be with Him.

Loved and Known

I Already Know God Loves Me. But Do I Really?
On an ordinary drive home from the grocery store, God showed me His love is far more eager and wholehearted than I imagined.

How Could I Forget? A Lesson in Remembering Your God-given Identity
A dream I’ll never forget, and three words that cut through all my fear: “Remember who you are!”

A Letter from Papa
A letter written from the Father’s heart to anyone who keeps replaying their mistakes.

Prayer and Trust

Your Father Knows
I used to worry I wasn’t praying enough, until a text about some cherry wood reminded me that my Father already knows what I need.

Our Helper
Standing at the grill after a snowstorm, I asked God about a misconception I had about Him, and His answer changed how I see His willingness to help.
