So I said I entered a new season when I entered this house. It's still true. I think with this new season came a new word, not to replace the old word ("GRACE" in case you didn't remember) but in addition to that. You see I haven't mastered grace yet, so it must continue. But… Continue reading Choose Joy

New every morning
This morning I woke up with joy. I know that sounds weird because you know what I've been walking, and it was the opposite of joy. But this morning I think I finally know what it means when Annie spoke and said, "you can never feel the fullness of joy until you feel the depths… Continue reading New every morning
It’s intentional
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
What’s the plan?
I've always been a planner I think, even when I didn't always share those plans. In my head are plans for every situation and contingency plans for when something goes wrong. Sometimes I even think, well next time I'll do this, as if I'm going to get a do-over at some point. Sometimes being a… Continue reading What’s the plan?
You’re not enough
The title might shock you. It might make you wonder about me because the world has been telling us if we try harder we can be enough. Or that we ARE enough. But we're not. 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
Embrace this crazy thing
If you're following my House saga, I finally picked one to see. I was determined to fall in love with it because I don't want to be spending my life looking at houses. It had a blue door. And it's now pending sale, not to me. So tomorrow I start the adulting part of buying… Continue reading Embrace this crazy thing
Don’t get on the bus
This is likely going to be a short story, I mean as short as any of them are. It's after midnight and tomorrow we must return to life, but I feel like this story bears telling so... Today we were riding around on the boat (which, sidebar, is amazing and something I highly recommend) and… Continue reading Don’t get on the bus
Still breathing
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
The lake
It's funny. Last Sunday's church service was about taking a pause. Living in the margins and all of that. And today...I'm at the lake. I've wanted to go to the lake for a while. There was a point recently where if I could have figured out the feasibility of it I might have moved to… Continue reading The lake
This Season....
