Confession: I had a rough morning, emotionally-speaking. I sat in my favorite chair, sipping my coffee, feeling the weight of the world (or at least the weight of all my feelings). With my kids at school and my husband at work, the house was quiet but my mind was not. My flesh was at war … Continue reading Restoring Joy

Choosing Vulnerability
Confession: I have a conditional love for vulnerability. I love it when things are going well, when I have a good rhythm, when I (seem to) have it all together.

My Grandpa loved crossword puzzles. On my visit to Washington earlier this month, I was looking through one of the last crossword puzzles he worked on before he passed away. Puzzle 90. My mom had told Alexa to play Lauren Daigle a few minutes before and the song Once and For All was playing. My … Continue reading Tagalong
