Sitting with an old friend.
You know when you haven’t seen an old friend in what has felt like ages, and suddenly you have the chance to sit across the table from them and actually bring them up to present and pick up where you left off? The whole drive to that small corner table at the coffee shop, you’re […]

To the one who has been feeling the earth shift.
I’ve been feeling like I just can’t keep up lately. Not the kind of can’t keep up where things just are sort’ve pushed back a little and eventually you’ll catch up and everything will be okay. I’ve been feeling a deep aching and grieving, because the things that I can’t keep up with are bringing […]

Excuses for not walking closer
A lot of people in the world say they don’t believe in Jesus and don’t love Christianity because of the christians they’ve known and I think its time they try another source.

at the foot of the broom bush / even if it’s crawling

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 […]
