Hi! I’m Cathy, and I’d love to welcome you to Creative Pauses from the Tiny House on the Hill.
I write, dream, and play with grandkids in my tiny space. It’s also where I invite friends and soon-to-be friends to join me as we create for God’s glory.
In the hurry of our days, it’s easy to overlook moments that invite us to slow down and reflect on the beauty and lovingkindness of our heavenly Father. And yet, it’s often in these pauses that we find ourselves drawing nearer to God.
“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” John Piper
For years, I searched for satisfaction in all the wrong places. Divorced twice by the age of twenty-seven with two little boys in tow, it wasn’t until this same twenty-seventh year that I came to know Jesus.
And my life was forever changed.
Through this deep satisfaction and love for Christ, I enjoy helping women draw closer to the Lord by offering fresh, creative ways to connect with Him through His Word, prayer, and community.
So I hope you’ll come on in, pour a cup of your go-to coffee, and find a comfy spot in the tiny house on the hill out back.
You’re always welcome here.
