Hi, I'm Lisa

Wife, mama, homeschooler, truth-teller, Spirit-listener, and your companion in finding God between the dishes and the dirt.

If you've ever felt like meaningful connection with God was only for people with more time, more knowledge, or more of their lives "together"—welcome home. You're in the right place.

This is where we discover that the messier life gets, the closer He draws.

My Journey

How I stopped searching and started finding

For the longest time, I thought I was doing it all wrong.

I'd look around at others who seemed to have this spiritual thing figured out—people who had time for hour-long devotionals, who attended every church service, who spoke in a language that felt foreign to my everyday reality.

Meanwhile, I was drowning in laundry, homeschooling two boys on the spectrum, trying to be a good wife, daughter, sister, and friend—all while feeling like God was somewhere "out there," waiting for me to finally get quiet enough to connect with Him.

Spoiler alert: That moment never came.

But here's what did come: a slow, beautiful awakening to the truth that I was never separated from Him in the first place.

During the busiest, most chaotic moments of my life, I started asking questions. And then—this was the game-changer—I got quiet enough to actually hear the answers.

God didn't need me to have it all together. He didn't need perfect quiet or a formal prayer time. He was right there in the noise—in the dishes piling up, in the dirt under my fingernails from the garden, in the whispered prayers I breathed while folding the hundredth load of laundry.

I realized I'd been taught that finding God was complicated. That it required special knowledge, perfect circumstances, or someone else to show me the "right way." But the truth? It's beautifully simple.

God isn't outside of me, waiting for me to get my act together. He's inside me—in every breath, every heartbeat, every moment of this messy, beautiful life.

That understanding—what I call embodied divinity—changed everything. It's the knowing that God doesn't just live "out there" or "up there." He lives in here, in this body, in this moment, in this breath.

Once I stopped looking for God in all the "right" places and started finding Him everywhere—especially in the ordinary—I couldn't unsee it. He was there all along. He always had been.

What I thought would be difficult turned out to be the simplest, most natural thing in the world. Like breathing. Like loving. Like coming home to yourself.

So I started sharing what I was learning. Not because I had it all figured out (spoiler: I don't), but because I wanted others who felt like me to know: You're not crazy. You're not doing it wrong. And you're definitely not alone.

That's what My Busy Peace is all about—a space where we remember that holy ground is often found between the dishes and the dirt, where we learn that constant communication with the Divine isn't a discipline, it's a love affair with Life itself.

Life Today

A glimpse into my beautiful mess

I live in southern West Virginia with my husband, my daughter and my two sons and our dog. Our days are full—homeschooling, tending the garden, caring for family, and learning to find grace in the chaos.

My days don't look like what I thought a "spiritual life" was supposed to look like. There's no hour of silent meditation at dawn. No perfectly planned prayer time. Instead, there's constant conversation with God—while I'm cooking breakfast, pulling weeds in the garden, helping the boys with schoolwork, or standing at the sink with soapy hands.

My Sacred Routine (If You Can Call It That)

I wake up and God is there. Before my feet hit the floor, I give thanks and say good morning to Him.

I go through my morning routine—brush teeth, wash face, make coffee—and God is there. I talk to Him about my plans for the day and ask Him to be fully present in everything I do.

Then I go about my day—cooking, cleaning, homeschooling, gardening—and God is there. I never separate myself from His presence because He's never separate from me.

When I'm outside grounding barefoot in the grass, or standing in front of a sink full of dishes, my thoughts naturally bring God into it. It's not a discipline anymore. It's just how I live.

Think of it like being a new parent bringing a baby home from the hospital. That baby is there, and you're its caregiver 24/7. You don't leave it alone. You tend to it constantly. But it's not a burden—you love your baby, so you do all the things because of that love.

Before long, you can't even remember what life was like before your baby was part of your always. That's what my relationship with God is like. He's woven into every moment, every breath, every mundane task—and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Why I Do This

I'm not here to preach. I'm not here to stand on a stage and talk down to anyone. I'm here to walk alongside you and share what Spirit whispers to me in the simple things.

I want everyone who finds this space to know: You can have a real, intimate, personal relationship with God right where you are—in the mess, in the mundane, in the beautiful chaos of your everyday life.

You don't need to sit inside church buildings. You don't need someone else to tell you how to do it. You don't need to wait for perfect quiet or have it all together.

God is only as far away as the whisper of your heartfelt invitation, no matter where you are or what you're doing.

That proximity to Light is what makes wandering in the darkness no longer scary.
