I think I've said this before, but I asked God to give me a word for this season or year or whatever (basically until He gives me a new word likely) and that word was "grace". I've thought about what it means and how it applies to my life a lot. The dictionary gives one… Continue reading The thing about GRACE

Embrace your backstory
This morning I woke up at 1am. As I woke up a little, a phrase was in my head..."embrace your backstory." I thought that was weird, and I wasn't even sure what it meant, but at 1am I really don't want to contemplate so I made a note in my phone with the phrase because… Continue reading Embrace your backstory
What’s the plan?
I've always been a planner I think, even when I didn't always share those plans. In my head are plans for every situation and contingency plans for when something goes wrong. Sometimes I even think, well next time I'll do this, as if I'm going to get a do-over at some point. Sometimes being a… Continue reading What’s the plan?
You’re not enough
The title might shock you. It might make you wonder about me because the world has been telling us if we try harder we can be enough. Or that we ARE enough. But we're not. And we were never made to be. I know. Catch your breath for a minute. I am reading, among other… Continue reading You’re not enough
In the middle

Today she tied into the Israelites leaving Egypt and how God could have taken them straight there to Canaan but then the… Continue reading In the middle
Still learning
It's funny. I've reflected a lot over the last week and a half, probably because I haven't had a lot else to do, thankfully. Unfortunately tomorrow signifies the official end of vacation mode. Hopefully work is kind. I've thought a lot about everything that has happened over the last year. As you know, because I've… Continue reading Still learning
2 steps forward…
I feel like in so many areas lately it's been two steps forward, 5 steps back. Are we really losing ground here? In reality, we are not going backwards, but just encountering some tests. Do you really have the ability to just keep breathing? Breathing in the good and out the bad? Can you avoid… Continue reading 2 steps forward…
What is success?
I was recently at my community group and we do some ice breaker questions sometimes. I got this one: "what is success?" Well, that should probably be easy, right. I mean you can go with the dictionary definition of success or what success means to you or any number of answers. Besides there are no… Continue reading What is success?
