Hello from the Foothills of the Carolinas!

I’m Cathy, and I hope you’ll make yourself comfortable in the tiny house on the hill, a space my husband built over a year and a half of summer days.

I had dreamed of having a place to write and share with others for several years, but it wasn’t until we moved to the country that it came to fruition. The tiny house on the hill is lovely and a dream fulfilled, but my true delight is Christ and growing closer to the Lord through prayer, studying scripture, and cultivating biblical community.

How I wish I had desired to connect with God since childhood. For years, I searched for love in all the wrong places, but after two failed marriages by the age of twenty-seven, I came to know Jesus in a tiny duplex on the outskirts of town, and my life changed forever.

Through this deep satisfaction in Christ, which I’ve experienced over the past thirty-plus years, I enjoy walking alongside women, helping them draw closer to God in their daily walk.

The space may be tiny, but all are welcome here.

“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” John Piper
