So… I Wrote a Book
12/18/2018
So… over the past couple of years I wrote a book. Last March I submitted the manuscript for Uncluttered. Later that spring I revised, hunted down citations, and worked with a fabulous team of editors who alternately served as exhorters, critics, and cheerleaders, depending on what each paragraph needed most. I got a first peek … More So… I Wrote a Book

Courage, Dear Heart * 10 Minute Devotional
01/18/2018
I’ve never chosen a “word of the year” before. My blogger friends all seemed to have one: faith, unity, joy, presence. One word for the whole year ahead. Yet it felt odd to me, somehow, to choose a word for the next 365 days. How could I put them into a one-word box so early … More Courage, Dear Heart * 10 Minute Devotional

Unplugging for Life (Soul Space Thursdays)
07/27/2017
It’s that week of the summer where I take off my shoes, walk through the grass, eat too many Popsicles, and unplug a bit. For today’s Soul Space Thursday, I invite you to do the same. Unplugging for Life (First published in July of 2016, here at CourtneyBEllis.com) When I think all the technological innovations that … More Unplugging for Life (Soul Space Thursdays)
Advent for the Outsider * Advent Devotional

You guys, I’ve never met Aubry Smith but we are friends. How can you NOT be friends with someone who has traveled halfway around the world to serve and educate pregnant and postpartum women AND written an awesome book about God’s role in childbirth? So pleased to be able to share her brilliant and beautiful … More Advent for the Outsider * Advent Devotional
