Thoughts on a Thursday
There’s a woman’s blog I enjoy reading b/c she is a poet. In one of her posts she shared about serving so much at her church and being so drained from it. One of the leaders at the church told her that “Of course you are drained, you are a poet.” As a poet she… Continue reading Thoughts on a Thursday
Everything Has Changed
A friend of mine is walking through a really hard season right now. Her boyfriend is facing a terminal illness and she is his sole caregiver. She confided in me about how exhausted she was and how her body was growing weary from the daily grind of tending to him emotionally, mentally and physically. But… Continue reading Everything Has Changed
An Urban Ministery
Saturday night I woke up out of my sleep. There were several young men with white t-shirts on making a lot of noise. I peered out the window and saw one of the men standing on top of a car that was parked right in front of my car. Instantly I was alarmed. I wondered… Continue reading An Urban Ministery
The Letter

I picked the perfect spot of shade and sun and sprawled out on my stomach. I noticed a few other book readers enjoying the experience… Continue reading Learning Me
Something Beautiful
I really wanted to write a post about the blessed time I had with my family during the 4th of July. Or maybe give you some updates on all the changes happening on the work front. And I also wanted to write about finishing the TLD Dating Challenge (which was awesome BTW!) but instead I’ll… Continue reading Something Beautiful
2 Versions of Every Story
So I’m on Day 8 of the True Love Dates Challenge and I really appreciated today’s lesson. Debra Fileta recommended writing out the 2 versions of our story in this stage of life. She encourages this b/c she wants you to see that there are always 2 perceptions we can have in life. The key… Continue reading 2 Versions of Every Story
What I’m Learning
I used to be that girl on the outside looking in. Feeling left behind and unloved. It felt like everyone was moving ahead of me and I had no chance of catching up. There was no movement and the waiting was endless. But then things changed and God gave me new eyes to see. His… Continue reading What I’m Learning
