Holy moments, human messes, and everything in between.

You + Jesus = Enough

At the risk of sounding real cheesy… thank you for being here. Truly. When I say I’m glad you’re here, it’s as sincere as it gets. Whether you’re an Arbonne customer, an old friend, a new friend, an in-person friend, a mentor, or someone the internet somehow tossed into my path — I’m grateful.

So… who is this space actually for?

Well, my Arbonne world is for anyone who has skin and is breathing (so yes, technically everyone 😅), and you’ll see some of that here. But this side of things — these posts, these Loaves Letters, this devotional journey — is for the person who loves God but never quite feels like they fit the “Christian mold.”

Maybe you’re too outspoken.
Too quiet.
You cuss in your head (or out loud 🙋‍♀️).
You drop it like it’s hot when the beat hits.
You don’t feel spiritual all the time, even though you really do love Jesus.

If that’s you, welcome. Pull up a chair. This was made with you in mind.

Part of my heart behind this whole devotional project is that it would feel approachable — especially for the ones who wonder if they’re doing faith wrong because they don’t look, sound, or act like the “good Christian” stereotype.

And here’s the not-so-secret secret among believers:

We all feel like that sometimes.
Even the ones who look put-together.
Even the ones who teach the Bible.
Even the ones leading the small group.

If you want to hear more about that whole “I don’t fit the mold” thing, I talk about it in Loaves Letters Volume 2 — hop over there if you’d like.

Either way, there’s room for you here.

Hi There Friend.

Hey friend — I’m Devan. Awkward with a side of spice, fueled by Jesus and fizzy drinks, and forever juggling the beautiful chaos of middle-mom life.

I grew up in small-town USA and have called the St. Louis metro-east home for over two decades. I live in a neighborhood with half the homes military families, which I absolutely love. At home, I’m raising three kids — two biological, one adopted with a wild foster care story — who keep me somewhere between “deeply grateful” and “why is everyone yelling my name?” at all times.

For almost 16 years, I’ve been an Arbonne consultant, and that little business baby grew into a full-time career that allowed me to leave corporate America for good. My faith has woven through every bit of it, because if we’re talking about health and wellness, how can we not talk about Jesus? (You’re right — we can’t.)

And then… somehow… I became the girl writing a devotional.
What started as a simple bookmark with a few Bible-time tips turned into a 30-day devotional complete with journal prompts and song meditations. It’s equal parts exciting and terrifying. I’ve hovered it over the trash bin more than once, yet God keeps leading me back to Matthew 10:27:

“What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; who is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.”

He has been reminding me that obedience > confidence.

I’m not a Bible scholar. I’m just a middle-aged, Target-running, overthinking mom trying to walk with Jesus in the middle of dishes, carpool, business meetings, and the same set of fears I keep re-surrendering. I mess up — a lot — but Jesus has been whispering, “I can use you anyway.” And I believe He can use you too.

Around here, you’ll get the real blend of my life: faith, family, honest struggles, and small offerings placed in God’s hands — trusting Him to multiply what I bring. Welcome to my corner of the Internet. I’m so glad you’re here. 💛
