My life is in upheaval. Not for any weird reasons. Just because, as you know, I'm moving. I literally spent 15 minutes looking for my computer earlier. It was under a bag and some clothes. And there are boxes everywhere. It's chaos. But really my life has been in metaphorical upheaval for this whole season,… Continue reading It’s intentional

Praise in the broken places
I have been following the first devotional "path" in the (In)courage Bible. (I'll likely review this soon but know so far I like it a lot.). 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

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
I'm reading (among other things...y'all know how I roll) Everyday Holy by Melanie Shankle. It's so good! It contains 100 devotions (in 222 pages so do the math. It fits into your day.) 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
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
