I can’t remember the last time I cried so much in a week. And it’s only Wednesday. (Also, where did February go?) I thought about skipping today’s post, but felt like I needed to check in and say hi. Cue the music: “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me” (thank you, Taylor Swift). But … Continue reading Not the problem

Lean In
As you may know from previous blogs, our family has made a habit of selecting a word for each year. As December draws to an end, we try to spend time reflecting on the previous year and the “one word” we’d chosen. Then looking ahead, we pray and discern what our word for the coming … Continue reading Lean In

Instead, I was met with mercy. It was a bit unexpected; I didn’t have to fix it, we all … Continue reading Mercy Over Judgment

I had a different piece of writing to share, but it was a little too happy for me today. It’s been a tough week. I think if we’re honest, there’s often something weighing us down, something we’re going through or struggling with. I’m learning that it’s not about comparing our sorrows and pain; it’s about … Continue reading On the Mend
