This is likely going to be a short story, I mean as short as any of them are. It's after midnight and tomorrow we must return to life, but I feel like this story bears telling so... Today we were riding around on the boat (which, sidebar, is amazing and something I highly recommend) and… Continue reading Don’t get on the bus

Nothing too exciting here. I’m 40s. I’m single, and I’m trying to figure out what my life is supposed to be in a society where it doesn’t fit into traditional married with children. I’m working to figure out what God had for me as my best life. Hopefully you’ll get something from my journey.
Still breathing
I'm going to be honest (I mean I have always been here on this blog), 99% of the time I feel like I'm not good enough. There is that random 1% where I do something that I'm like yay! Go me! But in general, that's not the case. Because of my personality, that means my… Continue reading Still breathing
Just breathe
I've literally been watching bugs for the last little bit. I am being 100% literal. I watched a spider do his thing for a little bit. An ant was all about going somewhere and then came back. Then there was a bee. He flew around and was precariously close at one point, but I'm in… Continue reading Just breathe
The lake
It's funny. Last Sunday's church service was about taking a pause. Living in the margins and all of that. And today...I'm at the lake. I've wanted to go to the lake for a while. There was a point recently where if I could have figured out the feasibility of it I might have moved to… Continue reading The lake
Hope for the season
Something amazing started happening last night. As I left work I noticed it was different. The air had that feel. It wasn't oppressive. It was crisp, slightly cool, it was the beginning of fall. For this wounded heart, it was a gift. It was the bow on top of a present from God. It's like… Continue reading Hope for the season
Who He is today
When I started this blog several months ago, I did it because God told me too. It felt like something important was happening in my life, and I needed to write about it. I can't journal in the traditional paper and pen kind of way. I've tried many times. But I quit. Every. Time. So… Continue reading Who He is today
It’s hard to fix a heart
This day. Nothing in particular happened. I spent it finishing an audio book (because that's all that's available yet) of Remember God by Annie F. Downs. Y'all. It's so good. And yet it hurt my heart a little. Let's be fair. The book itself didn't hurt my heart. It made me realize that my heart… Continue reading It’s hard to fix a heart
I can’t be brave
Y'all...I literally find myself in a weird place. I'm completely unable to commit in one area of my life. Some of you may be like, "and? I never commit." The thing is it's weird. I commit. I commit to all the things. I like commitment. It's permanent and settled and means things happen. And, I… Continue reading I can’t be brave
We’re all broken
Life is hard, friends. And, I think we make it harder sometimes. How many times have we been hurt by life's twists and turns? How many times have we tried really hard but not measured up? How many times have we just been flat out disappointed. Disappointment is a part of life. We're human. Our… Continue reading We’re all broken
Taking a time out
Yesterday was Sunday. It was a busy Sunday. I think that's how Sunday's tend to be if you're involved in your church. At the end of Sunday (well, let's be real...in the middle of Sunday) I realized I was tired in all the ways. My body was tired of course. (I mean I had a… Continue reading Taking a time out
This Season....
