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

The Sweet Spot
Life is good. It seems weird to come here to say that after everything we've walked through the last 6 months. However, as I sit here tonight, I can tell you, honestly, life is good. It's a little ironic though because am I where I thought I would be at this point in my life?… Continue reading The Sweet Spot
Inventing storms

But… Continue reading Choose Joy

Today's story was from Genesis and was one that is of course familiar to me. My name came from it. The story of Rachel and Leah. (Genesis 29-30) I… Continue reading Praise in the broken places
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
