I like the above quote, "it is well with my soul even when it isn't well with my circumstances." And, I'd like to sit here and tell you I'm living that quote, but I'm not. It hasn't been well with my soul since about Tuesday, and it got so much less well (is that even… Continue reading The limp and the blessing

Get with your people
There's so much going on in life today. We rush here and there and never really stop in one place for too long. It's easy to feel disconnected, to hide from people, either intentionally or not so much. I read the above quote today, and I was thinking how true it was. Busy-ness is one… Continue reading Get with your people
Celebrate weird
(Disclaimer: cuz there are menfolk around here. We're gonna use words like uterus and gynecology and while it doesn't get serious, if those words make you uncomfortable scroll on by. I mean we started this journey with those words many months ago so....Lol. If you're good, carry on.) A couple of weeks ago I got… Continue reading Celebrate weird
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
Who He is today
When I started this blog several months ago, I did it because God told me too. It felt like something important was happening in my life, and I needed to write about it. I can't journal in the traditional paper and pen kind of way. I've tried many times. But I quit. Every. Time. So… Continue reading Who He is today
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
Mine isn’t better, but it’s still good
I have a lot of really talented friends. Like really talented, y'all. One of my friends is an amazing singer. She was a vocal major in college. She teaches music. She sang amazing solos in church when I was growing up. I sing. I even sing well. I'm not an amazing singer though. Growing up… Continue reading Mine isn’t better, but it’s still good
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
Grace
When I was younger, I gauged some self worth based on how other people felt about me. Even as I got older, I still found it really difficult when it seemed like someone didn't like me. I took it as a personal offense and tried to figure out how to make them like me. The… Continue reading Grace
