Welcome to Deep Breaths!
It is my hope that this space is a place where you can pause, refocus and grow with the Lord as we learn together. I often write about God’s Word, my faith journey, marriage, motherhood, adoption, family, books and giving. You can read more about these topics through the tabs on my home page.

I’m Katie, the Tightly Wound Woman, a recovering perfectionist who is learning to slow down and breathe
deeply, while fumbling to receive and extend grace in everyday moments.
I
delight in my hubby and four children and our life in ministry.
Studying God’s Word, singing/songwriting, blogging, photography, and
heartfelt conversations are a few of my favorite things.
I love the (in)courage community and am tickled pink to have a few posts featured over there. I’m also a big fan of God-sized Dreams.
Head on over to The Tightly Wound Woman to access my website. Join the community over there as we explore what it means to be wound up tight on the inside but also wound tight to His side. You might also want to check out my album, Echoes of My Heart, over here on amazon.
Want to dig deeper into God’s Word? Here are some simple ways to study the Bible.
Looking for a devotional to help you grow? Check out the Isaiah 40 series and the Psalms Series. Each series is about a month long and full of outstanding guest posts from some of my favorite blogging friends. You will be challenged to go deeper with the Lord as you interact with His Word.
Want to meet my brother with Down Syndrome? His name is Brian and he is 35 years old. He is one of the coolest dudes around.
Need some encouragement for your marriage? Check out the Love & Marriage series to help you grow in grace and devotion for your spouse.
Want to be a more intentional mother? Check out the Intentional Mothering series and discover practical ways to nurture those who are entrusted to your care.
Want to be challenged to be more generous? Check out Extension 26. Each month we highlight a ministry to give to (or give to the one of your choice). Give $26 on the 26th (or how ever much you want, when you want) and extend yourself for His name’s sake.
Interested in adoption? Our 4th child was adopted. This blog was such a haven during our waiting time; free therapy and a place to process our journey. You can read the overview here or click on the adoption label to read through various posts about adoption. I am pleased to be an advocate for Show Hope (a movement to care for orphans).

Looking for a good book to read? Blogging for Books provides me with books in exchange for honest reviews. I also review a limited number of books, of my choosing, in addition to those. I am pleased to help launch selected books and enjoy being a cheerleader for my author friends.
Curious about the photos? I love to take pictures and have a photography business. You can check out Imprints Photography here and here.
