When I look back on my testimony with Christ I struggle with the messiness of it all. There was no perfect Christian home to serve as the foundation of my faith (I mean really is there ever?). There was not even an ideal 2-parent family setup with a Cosby-like appeal. Instead there was struggle and darkness and well meaning… Continue reading The Fight of My Life

Still Growing Up
For the first time today I admitted to myself, I don’t have it all together (you have no idea how much it freaks me out to admit this). My plan isn’t working. My future is not revealed. I’m 30 and still wondering. And that’s ok… But not really. Not for a type A planner, go-getter, ambitious, goal-oriented… Continue reading Still Growing Up
What I Like About Fall

In fact, I almost missed them because their tone was so conversational and flowed like streams of water. Before the deliverer of the words shared… Continue reading A Word in Due Season
Musings on Settling…
I sat across from my friend of 7+ years on her comfortable, homey sofa and tried to ignore the figure sprawled out on the floor at our feet. Her boyfriend, who was intently watching some sort of cartoon (Batman maybe?) on what I assumed to be her laptop, was not even worth conversing with in my opinion.… Continue reading Musings on Settling…
Finding Hope in Dire Circumstances
The joy of the Lord has truly been my companion in this season. Most days the beautiful rays of sunshine greet me in the morning and I bound out of bed to join the rest of the world in the hustle and bustle of life. It’s usually pretty easy for me to be joyful during… Continue reading Finding Hope in Dire Circumstances
