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…

Here is your anointing oil.
A friend asked how she could be praying for me this week, and my response perfectly incapsulates the season I’m in, as I imagine myself tucked in fetal position at the bottom of a door as glass plates shatter around me. Is it safe to say I feel attacked? As I arrived at my son’s…

We can keep on waiting.
At the ripened age of 30 something, I have finally figured out that maybe everything isn’t a kosher as I’ve always thought. For one, it took me seven years to figure out that maybe the reason I don’t love listening to the hip music my husband likes to listen to in the car is actually…

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…

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…

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…

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…

When God says you don’t have to be dry.
Brene Brown wrote that true belonging is not passive, and I think that’s a call for the sisterhood of Christ to rise. For a little over two years, my friends and I have been intentional about showing up to grow together. In the early days of meeting to sit in the living room and awkwardly…
