Oh, friends. I sit here completely exhausted and in awe of everything that has happened and I feel compelled to write it out, to tell you of the amazing mercies of a God who gives us exactly what we need exactly when we need it. This weekend we, my people and I, embarked on Goals… Continue reading To just be held…and like it

The time I almost gave up
The story I'm gonna tell might scare some folk. I'm aware. (ie...Mom...I'm fine. You don't need to pack.). But stick it out to the end; it'll be worth it. Last night I found the bottom of the pit. I told you this week had been bad. I was not feeling well, I was overwhelmed, I've… Continue reading The time I almost gave up
Here’s my heart…
Yesterday was rough. God and I did some wrestling last night; y'all saw a little of that on two separate blog posts. Today I feel it deep in my bones. My heart goes into a fun rhythm called SVT sometimes. Afterward, depending on how long it hung out there, I get what is affectionately known… Continue reading Here’s my heart…
Unbreakable
We are trying to come up with words, my people and I. Words that define us or words that describe us but maybe words that feel too big or too weighty to adequately fit. Words we want to lean into in the coming year. I can't come up with one. So in true fashion whenever… Continue reading Unbreakable
What did work
Yesterday, I shared my list of "What Didn't Work in 2018" (an idea from Emily P. Freeman). So today I'm going to show you the companion list: What Did Work in 2018. Because I'm a big fan of symmetry and even numbers (and the rest of the neurotic things lol) there are 10 just like… Continue reading What did work
Let it go
Well the year ended. It's officially New Years Day. I spent last night the same way I spend most New Years Eves...with the dog. Before you get sad, I work at a job where you are required to work either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day so it is what it is. This morning… Continue reading Let it go
A little faith is what I need
I woke up this morning, still with the bronchitis that won't die, but oddly enough that feels more normal than anything else that has happened lately. Every winter without fail at some point, it will happen. My lungs rebel and I get the respiratory crud. I decided this morning that I was not going to… Continue reading A little faith is what I need
Hard lessons
Tonight I was convicted a little. I think maybe I came to some realizations that I don't necessarily like and might not be entirely comfortable with, but these realizations are no less true. First, it's ok to need people. Yes it's easier and safer to be the one meeting the needs. I'm comfortable in that… Continue reading Hard lessons
Be held
I took a little step away, which I do when life gets busy, but this time it was simply because I was, and continue to be, overwhelmed. I often use this blog to process the things and yet this time I have been processing them to myself and with the actual people in my life… Continue reading Be held
In the quiet
It's funny. I guess I'm ending this day a lot like it began. My heart is overwhelmed and so I stop and sit in the quiet. Tuesday mornings twice a month I have a women's bible study. I set up coffee and such and so I come early. This morning, thanks to the blessing of… Continue reading In the quiet
