My counselor recently shared an interesting insight with me. She said there are three sides to every story. Yours, theirs, and what actually happened. We filter so much through our own experiences that we often get a little skewed on reality. I'd take it a step further and say there's your side, my side, and … Continue reading Triangles (Try Another Angle)

Untangling the Knots
I'm within walking distance to the beach for a couple days, which brings joy to my heart! I love the ocean – the waves, the sky, the vastness. The watching, the waiting, the unhurriedness. I've gotten to see two oceans on opposite sides of the country in less than two months. My heart is full! … Continue reading Untangling the Knots

It was a beautiful thing to watch God provide and our church family in … Continue reading An Unexpected Unburdening

Sometimes we just need a reminder to let the Light in. ❤ Overwhelm. It's a space I hate to … Continue reading A Light to Overwhelm the Darkness
