The end of the year always brings contemplation. What did we learn this year? What do we hope to do next year? As one of my people and I start planning our "Goals Weekend" for January (more on this later), I think it has made me think more about this year and where we're headed.… Continue reading Still learning (again)

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
Welcome back old devils
This week has been a little quiet here because it has been a little loud in real life. 2018 has been a rough year. It has now seen the return of not one but two devils that I thought were under control. 15-20 years ago, before I was a medical professional, my body self destructed.… Continue reading Welcome back old devils
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
Life’s challenges
Well this day did NOT go as planned. If that's not a statement of this whole year, I don't know what is. I got up this morning to go to my orthopedic doctor, as I do about ever 3 months for years, and he shoots my knee, tells me it needs replacing and sends me… Continue reading Life’s challenges
Broken isn’t pretty but it’s ok
I think I've shared this picture before. I was going to look, but this theme is on my mind tonight. That's how I blog, if you're curious. Something is heavily on my mind and forms into a full idea and I feel compelled to share it here. Today I've thought a lot about brokenness. I… Continue reading Broken isn’t pretty but it’s ok
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
My heart is full
I don't have a whole lot to say. Chalk that up to absolute exhaustion. But right now, taking a break from all the things, it occurs to me that I haven't written lately. I have been doing the dreaded process of moving. I'm still working on the final process at my old house. Tomorrow though… Continue reading My heart is full
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
This Season....
