A quiet moment at the rodeo… 💛
|
Hey there, sweet friend, You won’t believe what Ethel Sue volunteered to help with at the rodeo on Saturday… The craft booth. Which means you can guarantee there was plenty of glitter, stickers, glue sticks, and at least one child who left looking like a walking scrapbook page. 😄 But that isn’t even the surprising part. You know who offered to help her? Jo. Yes, sweet, quiet Jo from across the street. Now, to be fair, Ethel Sue may have caught her outside watering her bushes… and may have kept talking until Jo finally said yes. But still. She said yes. So while the rodeo mystery is still unfolding, the Bridge Ladies are doing what they do best—showing up, lending a hand, and somehow finding out a little more about each other along the way. And since we’re spending a little more time at Sterling Ridge Ranch this week, I thought you might enjoy something fun from Willow Creek. 🧩 Inside, you’ll find a rodeo word search and Glory’s brownie recipe—with her secret ingredient, of course. 👉 Grab your rodeo wordsearch and Glory's brownie recipe here Around Willow Creek, showing up doesn’t always look grand. Sometimes it looks like brownies, word searches, and surviving the craft booth with glitter in your hair. grace + hugs, Melissa Alyse ❤️

Hey sweet Reader, This week, I thought I’d show you how the stories actually get made — from idea to book in your hands. Because it’s a whole thing. 😅 How These Stories Come Together: When the Lord shares what’s coming next in Willow Creek, I map it out to the best of my ability. Right now it looks like a not-too-fancy Excel sheet, but it works. 😁 When it’s time to work on the next book, I pull the quick outline I made when I mapped out the season and fill it in. Once that’s done, I write the...
