Eyes Upon Jesus

Porch Chairs and Coffee Cups

—

Carving out time in our busy society is quite a challenge. In our social-media-absorbed culture, many of us feel the need to keep up with everyone else’s productivity.

If I could change one thing about modern society, it would be that we spend more time in rocking chairs on the front porches watching the grass grow. Our phones would be inside and we’ll be hearing people’s stories over cups of coffee instead of reading them on Instagram.

Life is short, time is precious, and relationships are beautiful.

I don’t want to remember these things when it’s too late.

About Me

My name is Nikki. I’m a suburban transplant who now lives a quiet life where morning light spills over pastures and the scent of cow manure fills the air. Between taking care of the home, tending to animals, and nurturing my garden, I’m learning over and over again to lift my eyes up and let God’s grace take over.

Here, I write about the beauty and ache of the everyday moments and ordinary days, about faith that takes root, and about a Savior who meets us in both the noise and the stillness. My prayers is that each story or reflection will point to Jesus so that you, dear reader, will find Him in the middle of your own everyday and ordinary moments.
