I love and appreciate when things go according to plan. Typically my plan. Yes, I'm an #Enneagram1. Naturally, detours are not my friend. They're time-suckers and plan-killers. They're inconveniences. The destination is the same, and we know the normal route is quicker, and yet someone somewhere decided to close the road. Last week I had … Continue reading Beauty in the Detour

Overcoming Defeat
I had the honor of sharing a few thoughts at Liberty Church on Sunday and wanted to post it here for any that missed it. ❤ I believe God wants you to know that He’s with you and He’s for you. He has not forsaken you or forgotten you; you are not abandoned or alone. … Continue reading Overcoming Defeat
Face the Pain
I received an advanced reader copy of The Complicated Heart: Loving Even When It Hurts by Sarah Mae from B&H Publishing; this is my honest review. This book is a beautiful story.

I wish I could tell you that three years have passed and I've mastered … Continue reading When it’s Hard to Love (part 2)

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
