Hi, I’m Robyn. I’m a lover of Jesus, words, and encouragement. Sometimes I have things to say that I’d like to share, so I created this blog. After many years spent working as a journalist and then a few more primarily as a grant writer, I felt God leading me to more faith-based writing.
I grew up in church and gave my life to Jesus as a teenager. I knew about Jesus. I knew the appropriate Sunday School answers. I went through all the right motions most of the time. But it wasn’t until I walked through some deep valleys of grief as an adult that I began to really know and experience Jesus. I had been sleepwalking through a fairly easy life. The deaths of my parents woke me up like a bucket of ice water to the face.
I felt like I had come untethered. The only thing I knew to do was cling to Jesus, and I got to personally experience that He is as good as all the Bible verses and Sunday School answers claim. Now I share those personal experiences through this site, the occasional speaking engagement, and in my first book, a 52-week devotional titled, “Ordinary Walks With An Extraordinary God.”
I know there are times when it seems like God is hidden or silent and it seems impossible to get through the hard days. I want to encourage you to look again. He’s there, right in the middle of your suffering, your sleepwalking, and your every day. My goal is to help you find Him and the hope He provides. I’m glad you’re here.
