How many times have you really had one of those "mountaintop" moments? You know the kind. Where God speaks to you in such a way that you can't deny it's him. Maybe you remember a time from a summer camp or a retreat or even a good ol' fashioned revival. Those are all good, but… Continue reading Now what
Admitting weakness
In camp recovery mode. Yesterday I took a nap for about 6 hours and then went to bed for real. Yesterday on the drive home I had some questions. Why, God, did you tell me to go to the second half of camp if I was gonna have to tap out on the second day… Continue reading Admitting weakness
Looking for light
So as you can imagine, I hit the ground running after release. It's cool. That's my normal life. The only problem is my body cooperated for about a week and then hit the brakes yesterday and hit them hard. Luckily I was hanging out with people (other nurses at church camp) who made me go… Continue reading Looking for light
And they’re off
Well, I hit the ground running. I got released to work last week at my appointment. (Found out pathology reports. Mr cyst was a mass but mr mass was benign so that's good. Everything else just gave validation to the decision. It's always good when that happens.) Anyway, did two 12 hour shifts last week.… Continue reading And they’re off
And so it begins
I had my final post op appointment today, and I got cleared to return to work Friday. I was looking forward to that but now that it's here I have mixed feelings. I thought I would be excited but I'm a little apprehensive that I won't be able to hang with the chaos or I… Continue reading And so it begins

One time someone told me you pray about something, and then you open your Bible randomly and the answer will be on the page. I tried it… Continue reading Message received…
Small victory
This post is going to be brief because I need sleep in a big way. If you are following my life and inclined, pray for me that this insomnia will be abated before I have to go back to work next week. 12 hour shifts on no sleep will definitely test me. But I just… Continue reading Small victory
In the little things
Before sleep I threw on my playlist to rest my heart. It's called "praise". I chose where it started. Tonight it started with "Praise you in the storm" casting crowns Then it just went...or God took it. - "Heal the Wounds" Point of Grace - "You are Good" Point of Grace - "Red Sea Road"… Continue reading In the little things
Why are you running?
Think back to when you were a kid. You either were, or knew someone who was, disobedient at least once or maybe even rebellious at times. Question. Did your parents like it? (I'm gonna go with no). Did they hate you or turn their back on you? (Majority answer would be no....for the small minority...I'm… Continue reading Why are you running?
Praise you in the storm
I have so many things but for today, this song is where it's at, so I'm gonna leave you some lyrics. It's Praise you in the Storm by Casting Crowns. I was sure by now, God you would have reached down/ And wiped our tears away, / Stepped in and saved the day. But once again, I… Continue reading Praise you in the storm
