Christian devotional writer Tracee Blake sharing biblical encouragement for women seeking belonging

Hi, I’m Tracee

I’m a retired educator and school administrator (M.Ed.) with more than 30 years in public education. Over the years, I developed a deep passion for understanding how trauma and grief shape people and their ability to experience belonging.

Today, I write devotionals and letters that encourage women and point them back to the love of God. I also help lead women’s ministry at my home church, and I care deeply about connecting women through shared experiences, gifts, and faith.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

  • “The world today moves so fast, we all look for a place of belonging especially when there is no grip on time. This understanding forces a person to stop, take a breath and give thanks to that breath. When I devote time, I get the chance to take a breath, sip my coffee and enjoy an article that helps me belong and cherish the word of God. It brings you back to your feet, not with jitters of course from the caffeine, but to your feet with purpose. You are not alone, Jesus is King and you belong in the word. Every month I get to read an article that helps bring a glimpse of love, in the life we all live.”

    - Maria

  • Thank you! I have printed this to re-read in the coming weeks. 

    I really needed to hear this, thank you!  Your words are filled with hope! 

    - DeAnne

  • Thank you for these wonderful words you write. I love your technique and the gift of writing that God has given to you.

    -Beth

  • The devotionals by Tracee Blake, A Place of Belonging, have been very inspiring and well written. I have been blessed by them, and so have the ladies in our Tuesday Bible Study as well. 

    The heartfelt way that Tracee shares her faith and how God has moved in her life is down to earth and very relatable.

    I am very glad that the Lord has guided Tracee to share her faith, in this chapter of her life. He sure knew what he was doing!
