I'm going to be honest (I mean I have always been here on this blog), 99% of the time I feel like I'm not good enough. There is that random 1% where I do something that I'm like yay! Go me! But in general, that's not the case. Because of my personality, that means my… Continue reading Still breathing

Just breathe
I've literally been watching bugs for the last little bit. I am being 100% literal. I watched a spider do his thing for a little bit. An ant was all about going somewhere and then came back. Then there was a bee. He flew around and was precariously close at one point, but I'm in… Continue reading Just breathe
It’s hard to fix a heart
This day. Nothing in particular happened. I spent it finishing an audio book (because that's all that's available yet) of Remember God by Annie F. Downs. Y'all. It's so good. And yet it hurt my heart a little. Let's be fair. The book itself didn't hurt my heart. It made me realize that my heart… Continue reading It’s hard to fix a heart
I can’t be brave
Y'all...I literally find myself in a weird place. I'm completely unable to commit in one area of my life. Some of you may be like, "and? I never commit." The thing is it's weird. I commit. I commit to all the things. I like commitment. It's permanent and settled and means things happen. And, I… Continue reading I can’t be brave
We’re all broken
Life is hard, friends. And, I think we make it harder sometimes. How many times have we been hurt by life's twists and turns? How many times have we tried really hard but not measured up? How many times have we just been flat out disappointed. Disappointment is a part of life. We're human. Our… Continue reading We’re all broken
Excellence not perfection
I've realized something about myself recently, or God has brought it to my attention. I'm not good with grace. I mean I'm pretty good extending grace to others. I forgive other people's mistakes pretty easily. Sure I get annoyed or upset with people sometimes (because that's human) but it doesn't take much for me to… Continue reading Excellence not perfection
Now what
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
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
Scattered boxes
I like control. Hopefully I'm not the only one, but I really like to be in control of things...situations, schedules, my life...I mean everything that can be controlled. Lol. Surely I'm not the only one. I know people who can just roll with it and I just struggle with that. So. Much. I like to… Continue reading Scattered boxes
