My Jonah Journey by Julie Arduini

Posted on November 13, 2019 by

Fruit and Love by Julie Arduini

Posted on October 30, 2019 by

This fall I’ve been attending a small group that has been discussing principles gleaned from the movie, Overcomer. There has been so much great conversation there. The one main theme I’ve come away with is when it comes to our … Continue reading →

Ripped Roads by Julie Arduini

Posted on October 2, 2019 by

I live in Ohio. Most months thanks to big temperature changes and precipitation, we have potholes. Some are so bad they could qualify as craters. I’ve lost more than one tire to the roads. Last month we saw something new … Continue reading →

A Real Superwoman Sits Down by Julie Arduini

Posted on August 7, 2019 by

When I was in my twenties, it was nothing for me to run around work and finish all my goals in a short time. It was fairly easy, despite severe PCOS, to manage a new home as a newlywed. I … Continue reading →

But I Want to Hover by Julie Arduini

Posted on July 24, 2019 by

As I meet with moms who are a bit ahead of me in the parenting journey, they confess that like me, the hardest seasons weren’t the baby/toddler/preK years. No, they were the times the kids were bullied. Or, when they … Continue reading →

Where I’d Be Without Living Hope by Julie Arduini

Posted on May 1, 2019 by

Words have always meant something to me, long before I decided to make it my full-time focus. I was always reading, and many say, always talking. Lame confession, but lyrics are just as important to me. Maybe it was PMS, … Continue reading →

Review: The Pilgrim’s Progress Movie

Posted on April 3, 2019 by

One perk of writing/blogging is that publishers and agencies find me and ask if I’ll take a look/listen/watch at their product and share my thoughts. Over the years I’ve read amazing books, some not-so-amazing. I’ve enjoyed uplifting music, and watched … Continue reading →

My prayer for 2019 is that doors would open for me to encourage women to find freedom as they surrender the good, the bad, and—maybe one day—the chocolate. I’m so thankful because one amazing opportunity isn’t just in the works—it’s … Continue reading →
