So you need something to drink
In December, I took a whole month of work off to rest and spend time with my family. I remember my friend messaging me a week into it, asking me how I was feeling, to which I responded that rest is hard. I had to rewire my brain to be still and be okay with…

Finding your people.
Unpopular opinion: I think we undercut the importance of identifying our people. For a while, I felt guilty for building close friendships. I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous, but let me explain a bit. I was under the impression that being a Christian in one body meant showing no favoritism. I thought that the solution…

Busy minds, restful hearts.
“Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight.” Ps 94:19 My thoughts have been lack of gravity lately. Whether battling those lies that threaten to isolate me leading up to my speaking at our church women’s conference, the heaviness of having…

Extravagant things in ordinary places.
There is a house down the road from us that is blue. Think Robin’s egg blue, but times ten in the vibrance department. When we first moved to the neighborhood, my husband and I had conversations about that blue house, like what do you think the neighbors think, are they visually impaired, you know. All…

Horse Hair And Good Gifts
He doesn’t want me looking around to see what everyone else is doing. He is not asking me to follow suit with what other’s are doing, He is asking me to follow suit with what He is doing. I’ve been really torn lately over what following Him looks like in this season. Rather than having…

Glory-Garments and Jesus
He was here. She knew he was here because she heard the shouting of his name, people crying out and trying to get closer, and all at once she’s in a crowd of people, stepping on the back of her heels, shoulders tossing into hers as each tried to worm their way through the bodies…

When what you thought was waiting is actually a birthing.
If I had to choose a Psalm to best describe my life right now it would be Psalm 37. These days feel categorized into three categories: The Holy Spirit filled transformation days. In the month leading up to the accident, it felt like we were on fire. The Lord was moving so personally for us,…

Baptize me in breakthrough.
I’ve been wrestling lately. A couple nights ago, about the time when I usually begin to poke Donny and ask him to pray over my eye, my questioning was more of a plea. When you pray over my eye, will you also pray over my joy? Will you also ask the Lord to show you…

Adopting Olivia.
Olivia’s in the Soviet Union, He told me, as we sat across from each other in a boat. Who the heck is Olivia, I thought, completely baffled, all the while knowing that He wasn’t telling me to gossip or to simply be factual. He was telling me in a manner that was a call to…

Grief Lingering and Jesus in it.
Sometimes the emotions hit me like a tsunami, caught in the sea of overwhelm. Overwhelm that our Father saw all of our futures worthy of saving. Overwhelm at the aftermath trying to pray ourselves out of potential surgeries and pray ourselves into new vehicles. I see all of His goodness and that is overwhelming in…
