Welcome to my blog!

I’m Abbey, a gal in her 30’s, navigating through this beautiful (and sometimes messy and confusing) gift of life that has been given to me. I have a desire to share my heart with others, in hopes that everything written here can be an encouragement to you! Whether these words are read by one person or a thousand people, I pray that in the process I can draw closer to Him. If I can do that, I would consider my goal already accomplished.

All of the photos you see here are photos that I have taken myself of His beautiful creation, and all the words are written by me (no AI allowed here!).
