Discover joy in your life through the grace and love of God –
For we are not alone on this journey – for God is with us every step of the way.
Join me here as we explore faith, cultivate beauty and joy, and walk the path of peace in God’s globe. Because together we “stir up one another to love and good works”.
Welcome to my online home. A precious space for us to meet together. I am so happy that you are here, and I look forward to getting to know you. First, I am a Christian writer, blogger, poet, make-up artist, and sometimes singer. For the last seven years, I have been based in Georgia, where my family traded in the palm trees of Los Angeles for the woods, quiet, and deer.
“God’s Globe”, is a collection of devotions, prayers, stories, poems, photographs & other inspirations exploring the love of Jesus, family, nature, and more! I am hoping that this page will prove to be entertaining, and informative and that it will inspire us all “to stir up one another to love and good works”.
I share faith, spiritual growth, and life stories of marriage, family & friends, including some nitty-gritty struggles like weight, body image, and health navigating the seasons of life. Also, you’ll find resources, restaurants, travel, books, and media reviews here. I also pop in reliable skincare & makeup advice, tips, and recipes.
- Faith – a woman’s faith is her crowning beauty – faith stories & self-growth
- Spiritual growth – Talking & walking with God, prayer & bible study
- Life – marriage, family, friends, and Beauty & Wellness
- Beauty is not overdone – it is gentle and pure.
- Beauty comes from inside when the heart is full of kindness and joy.
Your past is your testimony –
Due to childhood trauma, I turned away from the church at sixteen years of age. Thankfully, God reached down and pulled me back, dipping me in His glorious mercy. Since I am in love with Jesus telling whoever, I can about His healing, love, joy, and peace. My writing reflects how I was before Jesus and how I am now. Perhaps coming to our Savior in my adult years gives me a unique perspective on before and after.
In 8th grade, I took a creative writing class and that opened my eyes to writing. Soon I was penning poems to Jesus and journaling. Then in college as a Theater Arts Major, I explored playwriting. My passion for poetry brought me to music and songwriting.
During the 1980s, in Los Angeles, California, I wrote for the L.A. Weekly as a Stylist Writer, Music Interviewer, and Live Band Reviewer. By the 1990’s I was Staff Editor at Fizz Magazine, writing a monthly column, and editing teen and adult submissions for poetry and prose. In 2007 I was the Beauty Editor for one of the first online magazines. My writing continued into articles for my Local 706 Make-up and Hairstylist’s guild’s magazine “The Artisan,” writing on film, television, and theater projects.
Once you get to know me, you’ll find I have many stories, and only by the grace of God am I here to testify. For instance, I was in one of the first girl punk bands, later joining a folk group with a write-up in People Magazine. Also, for 30 years, I have worked as a make-up artist for film and television with many a story to tell.
What do I love to do?
I love journaling and Bible study with a good cup of tea, worship, singing, and walking in nature. But my favorite thing is being a wife and sharing my life with my husband, Christian guitarist-composer Don Rutherford.
Life is a remarkable journey when we are on board with God!
Grateful you’re here!
