deeper love still
I’ve been doubting God’s love for me. It all started at a worship night about a month ago. After receiving prayer over ministries turning into prayer over my sight, I walked back to my seat, redirecting my thoughts and attention back to worship. As the music played, in my head I saw the cover of…

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…

at the foot of the broom bush / even if it’s crawling
Fun fact: I love how detailed the Lord is to include specific trees through out the Bible. I tend to like my books full of the juicy deets. Make those sentences the length of three paragraphs, please. I want to read and be entering into what I’m reading. I want the perfect words as the…

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,…
