about me

I am a Christian wife and mother, a recreational runner, and an avid gardener.

I write short, uplifting devotions of faith using descriptive imagery. I write with an inquisitive, playful spirit and often approach difficult topics from a unique perspective, using examples from the natural world to symbolize aspects of faith.

I believe that God has given us each a personalized path to travel and it is our responsibility to learn the lessons brought about by the obstacles on our path. I am thankful that your path has crossed mine today. God bless you!

A Beautiful Gift; Devotions fo....

Julie Van Meter

Life is a mystery - a beautiful gift given to us by a loving God. These short, descriptive devotions explore gifts we have received.


Have you ever received a beautifully wrapped gift and wondered what was contained inside?

This devotional has been written to help us discover the gifts from God - gifts of courage, friendship, provision, second chances, and so much more. The ultimate gift described is the gift of God's Son, Jesus Christ.

The short readings contained within are descriptive in nature and are arranged by season. Related scripture passages are included with each devotion.

Would you like to open a beautiful gift?

Settle into a comfortable chair, unwrap the bow, and peel back the paper to reveal a beautiful gift from God.

 

Pursuing the Peaceful Path; De....

Enjoy the descriptive imagery in these short, uplifting devotions. Replace fear and uncertainty with peace and encouragement for the day.


This is a book about faith - faith in a loving God who cares deeply for you. By strengthening faith, you can let go of fear and have a more fulfilling life.

These short devotions are designed to be read in about five minutes by busy people on the path of life.

The readings contain descriptions from nature. The descriptions are designed to allow you to experience the scene as if you were right there, touching, feeling, and seeing the surroundings personally.

Tension between the natural world and the heavenly world is a concept that is explored in each devotion.

As the devotion unfolds, a natural scene that is common and familiar demonstrates an aspect of God's character. For example, a thunderstorm is described to show God's power.

Scripture passages are included with each, because the Bible is God's love note to mankind. Scripture is an important way that God speaks to us and is a key part of each devotion.

May God bless you on your path!
