🌸 LIFE UPDATE🌸 In thinking about returning to this space after about two months away, I wanted to share some upcoming changes and exciting news for 2026. 🌸

👉 Things I’ll be doing differently: This year is going to be busier than ever as I begin a new journey doing something I’ve only dreamed about before now. A few months ago, I applied to go on a trip to Ireland with Life on Pilgrimage and followed that up with sending in an application to Denver Seminary for a Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies and was accepted into Kerygma, the Women’s Leadership Cohort.

Fully convinced 2026 is God’s timing, I’m stepping out into the unknown. After years, of praying and waiting for an opportunity to pursue my dreams, soon I’ll be taking a long awaited pilgrimage on ancient paths with both my feet 👣 in Ireland and my mind 🧠 at seminary.

Aligning my heart with His stirred up a sense of intentional, daily returning that spilled out onto the pages of what I hope will become a book in your hands in the future.

I’ll be sharing bits & pieces of this journey on my blog; I’d love for you to join me at AmyElaine(dot)com. Here’s a few 🗝️💡

🌸 There’s a quiet confidence in getting back to the basics of blogging once again—back to where this ministry began.
🌸 It’s time for change…
to get back to what’s really important, to live undistracted, to be intentional, to sit in the mundane and feel the wonder again…
He is worthy (and so are we).
🌸 This isn’t about looking inward, but looking up. It’s the year of learning to linger, lean in, and let ourselves fall in love again… to learn the art of returning. ~ aem
🌸 What you can expect here: less. What you can expect on the blog and in the newsletter: more.
🌸 For the deeper stuff and defining truths, know this: you’re invited…so please join me there.
🌸 Today, I’m sharing a journal entry, a short prayer, a verse, and a declaration for 2026.
🌸 Reentry was never meant to be easy, but intentional and heartfelt.
🌸 PS-I’m back & ready for a year of unhindered growth & unparalleled change. How about you?

xoxo
