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. While I was on that trip, my best friend recommended a book to me. She said … Continue reading The Father-Daughter Dance

Good Eyes
My prayer lately has been: “God, help me see myself as You see me.” I struggle between the two extremes - pride, and low self-esteem. But I’m slowly discovering there’s a better way.

Faith in the Fire
I've been reflecting on Seasons. Summer held on longer than I expected, and it seems Fall flew by in a month. For the locals, this might be "nothing yet"... but for this Washington-native... it is straight-up freezing outside. I will continue to bundle up my kids like Randy in A Christmas Story even if it's … Continue reading Faith in the Fire
