It's 4:35am or so says the clock on the top of this screen. I've been trying to go to sleep for a solid 3 hours at least. I've tried all the things. AC is on polar ice caps. Noise machine on rain storm (even though there's a natural rain storm outside). Weighted blanket. I can't… Continue reading A troubled heart

Out of the wilderness
I just spent over an hour in the car driving back from an amazing weekend, and I had this song on repeat. I must live under a rock because I've never heard Thy Will by Hillary Scott before (or I did and never noticed). Thursday though it came on while I was running errands and… Continue reading Out of the wilderness
You’re brave, beautiful and handpicked
So today I'm trying to spend downtime. While I'm sitting in front of the TV, it isn't on. I'm in two different Bible study groups (well 3 really) and I'm using the time to prepare for the next week. But I'm also trying to rest well. Monday I got the ok from cardiology to attempt… Continue reading You’re brave, beautiful and handpicked
Unmet expectations
As I look at a lot of the current new books, I'm struck with a common theme. A lot of them tell the story of unmet expectations in some area of life (or every area of life). It's just not what we thought it would be. I get it. I mean I would say a… Continue reading Unmet expectations
Solemnly Seeking Discernment
I'm in a weird place right now. No, not physically. Physically I'm in my bed, exhausted and ready to sleep if only this pesky brain would shut down. I'm in a weird place in life. If you've been around, you know I have a control thing. And I like to know what's going to happen,… Continue reading Solemnly Seeking Discernment
Is it even raining?
To say this has been a rough week is an understatement. I have been frustrated with somethings, annoyed with others, and physically sick and tired on top of it all. I'm just flat worn out in all the ways. God and I have had a lot of conversation this week. If you don't hold conversations… Continue reading Is it even raining?
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
What if…
I grew up hearing, if you are worried about something, give it to God. If you want something, ask God. God has plans for you. I want to be perfectly honest and admit I had/have plans for me too. What if God's plan for my life is different than my plan for my life? What… Continue reading What if…
Struggle
I am gonna be perfectly honest. This week has been a struggle. I don't even know why. Sometimes I think maybe it's the busyness of life that just starts to be too much. Sometimes I just need a time out, but there's no time for time outs. It's hard in a season where you're supposed… Continue reading Struggle
This Season....
