Every soul is a story in the making
and every heart is a treasure the Author of Life pursues with perfect love
Welcome, dear heart!
You have tumbled upon a rabbit hole of reflections…
Hello there, fellow sojourner. My name is Rue. Welcome to a haven of light, beauty, hope, and love. I write because I love to talk about beautiful things. And I write about God because He is the dearest beauty I have found. Here you’ll find glimpses of new morning mercies, heart-thoughts of a redeemed soul, and reminders of loveliness in this messy thing called life.

“Source of Light”
Rue’s writing has made a lasting impact on me because of her ability to craft words that encourage me to delve deeper into the Scriptures. She has thought-provoking insights, as well as reassuring tidbits to keep me motivated in my Christian walk. I love the way she uses her incredible writing ability as a source of light in a dark world.

“Rue Shows the Brokenness, Breaks Your Heart, Then Puts it Together in a Better, Beautiful Way”
I love reading Rue’s work. She writes with an elegance expressing the sort of truth you can’t find in many places, and with a kind of rawness you can’t find either. She writes and shows the brokenness, breaks your heart, and then puts it back together in a better, beautiful way.
