A Liturgy of Springtime Hope
A quiet offering for tender seasons when joy and sorrow sit side by side.
Welcome, dear one,
“A Liturgy of Springtime Hope” was prayerfully created as part of your Spring Awakening journey — a sacred space for renewal, rest, and gentle hope.
I pray that each word and note nourishes your body, mind, and spirit as you step into the life of abundance God has for you.
May this offering be a small taste of the beauty and hope already breaking forth.
A Note from My Heart:
I composed this reflection and painted “Firstfruits of Hope” during a season of slow, sacred renewal — when joy and sorrow sat side by side, and the beauty of spring echoed the gospel of resurrection my heart so deeply needed to hear.
If your heart is holding more than words can name…
If your body is weary from the slow work of healing…
May these words meet you at morning’s edge,
in the soft places where new life stirs,
and awaken in you a renewed delight in
“Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

Let the thawing earth echo: Even here, even now—life is breaking through.

P.S. A Place to Begin: a Welcome Hour
If you’re sensing a longing for deeper rest and renewal—
for care that honors your whole story—body, mind, and spirit—
I’d love to welcome you into a sacred space I call a Welcome Hour.
This isn’t a session to fix or figure things out.
It’s a threshold. A pause. A warm cup of tea and a gentle beginning.
It’s how I begin every journey of care—by listening first.
Come as you are. I’ll be waiting for you there.
Spring is still unfolding.
Resurrection is coming.
And hope is already here.
May you walk forward rooted in hope, nourished by grace, and renewed in every season to come.
