I'm discovering firsthand what it means to dwell in the "I don't know." I'm learning to lean in to the Father and get comfortable with not having all the answers. God is teaching me how to trust Him, showing me how to make Him my only refuge. To rest in Him, to wait in the … Continue reading Dwelling in the “I Don’t Know”

Catching My Breath
I was inspired by Margaret Feinberg's post to choose "One Word" for 2017. I made a list of possibilities and narrowed it down to one that I just couldn't shake. Breathe.
