Can I be honest with you? Because I’d like to. It is my hope that this little blog brings hope and causes people to grow closer to God, but it is also my hope that I am transparent. When I was 19 years old something or rather, Someone got a hold of me. I was… Continue reading When Life Looks Different

The Art of Waiting
I have an interview today. It is the one I’ve been wanting for 3 months now. 3 very long months. When talking about it with a friend she mentioned how waiting is God’s way with me and how much better this time of waiting has went compared to the last time in my career (which… Continue reading The Art of Waiting
I Prayed for Movement
I prayed for movement because my friend hasn’t had a date in 7 years. My beautiful friend who is smart and funny and loves Jesus. She overcame a brokenheart 10 years ago just like me. Chose to let Christ lead her on this journey of faith just like I did. Has seen Him answer prayers… Continue reading I Prayed for Movement
A Mysterious Love
Now that I’ve walked some with Jesus I can look back on the path and see His hand, working, molding, shaping and developing. I kicked and screamed during most of that development but still, He had His way. A friend of a friend had to give up a relationship recently. She cried, he cried and… Continue reading A Mysterious Love
When Dreams Change
10 years ago I was a college grad who wanted to travel the world, spread the gospel and when I was “old” (around age 40), I would settle down, marry and have kids. I thought I had it all figured out. Before then I was caught up with my boo. I was all about him… Continue reading When Dreams Change
Choosing the Cross
John 6:15 “Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone”. I came across this passage in a blog I follow and it really stood out to me. Jesus could have been king but chose not… Continue reading Choosing the Cross
Waiving My Flag
I was telling a friend today, I feel as if I am embarking on a new level of selflessness. I read my description at the opening of this blog and how I talk about “dying to self”, and I did die to self. But there seems to be levels of this dying stuff. The truth… Continue reading Waiving My Flag
The Selfish Saint
It is both unsettling and relieving to awaken to one’s own “neediness”. Unsettling because the pride I was subconsciously clinging to in my walk with Christ is being dispersed. It is relieving for this very same reason. One cannot be prideful when one sees this unattractive quality about themselves. Or at least a quality that… Continue reading The Selfish Saint
Peering Behind the Curtain
It is being brought to my attention in this season the true, unadulterated purpose of my life. For many years I thought its’ purpose was to achieve, receive and have. I would have told you it was to glorify my Maker. I would have said these words out loud in fervent declaration as I belted… Continue reading Peering Behind the Curtain
This is My Portion
Not too long ago I allowed my burning frustration with this season to boil over into anger. I thought about the many journals I have stored up in my night stand drawer right next to my bed. Pages and pages of letters to the Lord written over the last 11 years. Pouring out my heart, my dreams, my dedications… Continue reading This is My Portion
