“The Lord is good to all, and His mercy is over all that He has made” {Psalm 145:9} Today I wept over the Lord’s goodness. Frankly this year has not been anything like I envisioned for myself, it’s been hard, and through the hard seasons of this life, I’ve often discounted the Lord’s goodness. But … Continue reading It’s Hard Because He’s Good
Jesus, from that nervous introduction that turned into a mentor. You are perfectly good. Jesus, on the sad day when you gave me a friend to sit there in the stillness with me. You are perfectly good. Jesus, from the fearful prayer that asked for you to give me clarity, to a passion and calming … Continue reading Perfectly Good
So, several months ago, I published a post entitled, Waiting: For Graduation, For Marriage, For Motherhood, For Anything but This. And I want to take it back. Not because Jesus isn't enough or because God doesn't keep His promises like I challenged followers of Jesus Christ to remember. But because, I've been waiting for, and have … Continue reading The Real Story of Waiting: Jesus is Enough
2018. My year of obedience. That's what I've coined it anyway. Up until the last moments of 2017, I didn't have the same understanding of obedience that I do now. So, I'm choosing it. I'm choosing the less comfortable path this year, and I think I'm okay with it. See, all my life, I've walked … Continue reading 2018: My Year of Obedience

I wrestle with disappointment. I internalize it. I also bleed it. I let it dictate me some days. I push it away some days. But it's something that in my life, I've felt often and I've felt deeply, whether I allowed myself to express the feeling or not. It's too easy to lose sight of … Continue reading Learning to Praise God, Even Here
I've spent a good majority of my life waiting and wishing for the next thing. I remember being in my senior year of high school, waiting for graduation and then when I'd graduated, waiting for my college move in day. When I moved into college, I remember waiting to go home for summer. Now that … Continue reading Waiting: for graduation, for marriage, for motherhood, for anything but this
I recently returned from a missions trip in Bangkok, Thailand. Can I say life changing, heart changing, perspective changing, Jesus-filled whirlwind. I'm in a place of unease, and uncomfortability. But I'm so thankful for that. My heart is heavy, my heart is overwhelmed. I am in every way drained. But I'm so thankful for that. … Continue reading A Heart For The Nations
It's been quite awhile since I've had motivation to write. And honestly I don't know that I really have any right now but I'm doing it because I want to start this next year with all roadblocks aside of me, all side effects of the enemy blinded. 2016 has been hard. I will never deny … Continue reading A New Year
