It's amazing what can happen when we're expectant. When we're listening for His whispers, when we're watching for His workings. We're awake. We're aware. We're in awe. My best friend surprised me with this journal in the mail, and it has become my adventure journal with my Heavenly Father. A place to jot down the … Continue reading Expectant

The Father-Daughter Dance
I love that God is outside of time, that He's not limited in that way like we are. You may recall "The Wall" post and the heart work (aka hard work) that God started in me a month ago.

Like playing the same record over and over and hating it and wanting … Continue reading The Fight

It totally reminds me of a … Continue reading Unhurried
