The Belonging: Tuesdays
When our Tuesday group first started, I didn’t know what to expect. Somedays, when my faith was wavering & I was looking at the facts laid out in front of me, I was shaken & doubtful. Because the facts said you only know about two girls & you think this is going to bring girls […]

The Belonging: When We Step Out.
Where do I even begin? Do I go back to the days when I used to respond to the “What do you want to be when you grow up” questions with “a writer & a speaker at big conferences”? Do I go back to the night when I was surrounded by the church body & […]

Beautiful things.
“You make beautiful things,” he repeats back into the crevices of my heart. Bc I’ve been stressing & hoping & wondering & questioning & praying. I have a lot on my plate lately & so I want to blame it on the things mounding over me, pressuring me to be so much & do so […]

The most fun, full of life girl got married last weekend & it was such a beautiful day, from beginning to end. So when I was simply writing out my stereotypical Instagram post with all sorts of pictures of our faces through out the years to post on her wedding day, and I couldn’t stop writing, I […]

Joy, sorrow, & the in-between.
“Yet, what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” Romans 8:18 Loss is something all too relatable on earth. We lose relationships, people, jobs, houses, businesses. You name it. I was living the in-between earlier this week, having taken up shack in the place where I […]

The golden rule & things that aren’t petty.
I think we all have those pivoting moments in our lives that end in, ‘and then, everything changed.’ People think marriage ends the whole golden rule struggle. If you are unfamiliar with what my kindergarten principal referred to as the golden rule, the answers kindness. Kindness is the golden rule, and who ever dreamed that […]
