Tears filled her eyes as her heavy heart softened. She was caught in the middle of a lot of things, and it was all her fault. She was trying to do things her way, instead of fully surrendering to God and who He had made her to be. She was basing her identity and value on her accomplishments, not on being a child of God.
If she could have fallen on her knees, she would have.
She closed her eyes, letting her tears fall as she opened her heart to God. The song played on as she prayed. Lord, I’m sorry. I’ve been trying to do this all on my own. And I can’t. Please, make Your will clear to me. Bring me back to You.

Benji tilted his head sideways, begging with the sweetest expression in his eyes.
“Alright, buddy,” Caroline said, removing the wrapper from the Rice Krispie treat. “Here you go.”
Benji gobbled up the treat, nodding his head in appreciation.
Connor shook his head. “He is the only horse I know that likes Rice Krispies.”
Caroline smiled, patting Benji’s neck. “Me, too,” she said. “And I found out by accident. He stole one from my lunch one day. And now they’re his favorite.”
“Silly guy,” Connor said.

Tidbit Thursday Number 2!
Caroline gave Edison more rope, letting a loop of slack hang between her and him. She took a couple of steps back toward Connor and the door, and spoke softly under her breath, making Connor strain to hear her.
“Come on, bud. You can trust me,” Caroline whispered and waited.
Edison stretched his nose toward her and snorted. Caroline lifted her hand, letting Edison smell her fingers. Edison blinked, then took a small step forward. Without hesitation, Caroline turned and walked out of the stall. Edison matched her steps…

Sample Sunday Number 2!
Today I’m sharing a longer excerpt to show that Caroline’s Lighthouse is about more than just horses.
Her heart was heavy as she let her mind wander back to last night’s fight with her mom. If it was like every other conflict they’d had since her accident, nothing more would ever be said about it. They’d just go on like it hadn’t happened, until the next fight built on it. The cycle was exhausting, and she wanted it to end. No matter what it took.
Her mind flipped back to her mom walking away from her minutes before. She lost herself in the rhythm of Benji’s walk as another image of her mom walking away played out in her head.
Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead as Caroline clutched the warm blanket with one hand. Her right arm was throbbing, and the chilling cold of the hallway was making it worse.
The ER was so packed that there weren’t any rooms open. Caroline was in a recliner in the hallway, watching the scurry of doctors and nurses, patients and paramedics.
Her dad sat in a chair next to her, while her mom paced back and forth, checking her watch every few minutes.
“This is really taking too long.” Holly sighed, exasperated.
“They’re pretty busy, honey,” Doug said calmly, squeezing Caroline’s left hand softly. “You’re doing okay, right, kiddo?” Caroline nodded her head, her eyes never leaving her mom…

Caroline’s Purpose
Caroline’s Purpose was my first book—the story that started it all. 💛
It’s the beginning of Caroline’s journey: faith tested, purpose uncovered, and hope quietly growing when the path isn’t clear.
If you haven’t read it yet, now is the perfect time. Read it now, so you’re ready for what comes next.
Remembering What it Feels Like to Fly
“A smile spread across Caroline’s face, for so many reasons. Because of her mother’s praise. Because she had just cleared an oxer set to 3’9”. Because she had finally let determination overcome fear. But most of all, because she was starting to remember what it felt like to fly.”
Just a small sneak peak of what I’ve been writing lately. Still have a ways to go! This video is from nine years ago today.
