One Stone at a Time: How God Led Us from New Jersey to South Carolina

In this gentle, faith-filled episode, I reflect on God’s faithfulness through the many transitions our family has walked. Inspired by Joshua 3–4, I share the story behind our “stones of remembrance” jar, the miracle we experienced during our 2008 short sale, and how we eventually made our way from New Jersey to South Carolina—one step at a time.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind one of the most meaningful practices in our home: our jar of “stones of remembrance.” Inspired by Joshua 3–4, this tradition has become a way for our family to clearly see God’s faithfulness—one stone at a time. Today, I’m taking you behind the scenes of our move from New Jersey to South Carolina, the unexpected short sale we walked through back in 2008, and the quiet miracles God stacked along the way to guide our steps.

If you’re in a season of transition, waiting, uncertainty, or wondering where God is in the middle of your story, this episode will help you slow down and notice the stones in your own life—the small, ordinary reminders that He is still providing, still leading, and still writing a good story.

We’ll talk about: – The biblical story of the Jordan River crossing (Joshua 3–4) – What it means to collect “stones of remembrance” – How our family uses a stone jar to track God’s provision – The miracle inside our 2008 short sale – How we went from New Jersey to South Carolina one quiet step at a time – Gentle prompts to help you recognize God’s faithfulness in your own life

If you need encouragement today, this one is for you.

When Hosting Feels Like a Leap of Faith

In this episode, I share what it’s been like preparing to host a Friendsgiving before I even have a dining room table. It’s a story about saying yes before I felt ready, and about how God has been teaching me that hospitality isn’t about perfection—it’s about love, connection, and grace. I talk about my grandmother’s beautiful gift of hosting, how her table shaped my heart, and what it looks like to open our homes and hearts again. If you’ve ever felt “not ready” but sensed God calling you to step out anyway, this episode will speak to you. 🕯️
