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. When I'm balancing my roles well, when my relationships are thriving, when my house is clean, when I'm on top of my to-do list. I … Continue reading Choosing Vulnerability

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.

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.

You are under His wings." Trouble and trials remind us to take refuge in the shadow of His wings. "Have mercy on me, … Continue reading Shadows (Part 2)

To learn more about His character. To get to know Him better. I've been reading this week about the life of … Continue reading The Father Who Hears
Peace Over Panic
Today was a stormy day for me, in more ways than one. Literal, figurative, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual... lots of storms. I spent the afternoon in a waiting room, surrounded by severe thunderstorm watches and warnings. In an effort to be prepared, I was completely panicked instead. And so, I began to fix my eyes … Continue reading Peace Over Panic
