Ten Years of Deeper Waters: Grief, Growth, and Grace

TEN YEARS! đź’™

I can hardly believe it’s been that long.

This milestone comes with mixed emotions. Deeper Waters was born after the death of my precious mother. We were extremely close, and this blog became a place where I could sort through my emotions and grief. So many of you have been on this decade-long journey with me, and I’m deeply moved with gratitude for each and every one of you.

Today, I’m focusing on the joy this blog has brought into my life. While I will forever miss my mom, the sorrow has softened. Deeper Waters has grown into a space for adventure, stories, devotionals—and, most of all, hope.

There’s always hope.

In the coming months, you may notice a few changes. I’m working on updating the structure of the blog and—prayerfully—refining my writing. I want to grow in my skills. Just like in the very beginning, when I was unsure of what I was doing, I ask for your patience as I learn and find my way in this new season of blogging.

I’d love to celebrate Deeper Waters somehow. I’m not sure what that looks like just yet, but I want to THANK each of you for your faithful presence on this adventure. Your likes, comments, and kind words spur me on more than you know. Maybe I’ll go out to dinner… or find a more meaningful way to mark the occasion. I’ll be sure to share when I do.

Cheers to TEN YEARS of Deeper Waters.
