Dear Bride of Christ, I write this today in brokenness and any bit of humility or ounce of grace I possess; in all the loud of the crowd reaching a fever pitch; in all the doom and the gloom, the upheaval and unhinged alive in our midst; in all the who-even-knows-what-anymore and all the who's… Continue reading Get Alone and Get to Know The Only One (Who Knows) -An Open Letter

A Love Story: From College and Beyond
A look back five whole years ago now... College Move-in Day is nearly upon us. The day I leave a part of myself to begin the best parts of himself. And, by now, it may be clear there’s been a small struggle, which makes me wonder and ponder and ask, “Why?” Which always makes me think… Continue reading A Love Story: From College and Beyond
The Ugly in Life and Death
That's Just Ugly I wanna start by saying that in no way do I believe my words are needed at this moment in time. It's just that when you write your feelings, it's next to impossible to process all that's currently going on without at least trying to write something down. Anything, really. So, maybe… Continue reading The Ugly in Life and Death
He Is Risen
Death does not get the victory today. In fact, death never has to have the final word again. Jesus is alive. And because He has risen, we can rise. Rise above circumstances and sadness and tangled messes of our own making. Rise above any fear of what may come or shame over what already was.… Continue reading He Is Risen
The Light of Life
By Your light we see light. We see Jesus. Who is, ... the light of the world. [And] Whoever follows [him] will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. (John 8:12) Great news, right?! We no longer have to walk in darkness if we walk with Jesus. And yet, we humans… Continue reading The Light of Life
Jesus, The Object
Sweet friends, there are rarely easy or satisfying answers to all the "Why's?" in this life. (Frustratingly, enough!) And it really seems that no matter how well we may think we understand people or know the Bible or Jesus, we're often left shocked, surprised, or simply sitting in silence with all these unanswered questions. And… Continue reading Jesus, The Object
Relax
I feel like it's time to share a few things with you... So, we have this word "RELAX" carved from wood hanging in our gazebo. It's like a reminder... or a command. One that's super easy to follow when I'm swinging in my chair or hammock, listening to the birds and the slight breeze rustling… Continue reading Relax
Turn and Be Healed, In Jesus (Part One)
I'd like to begin this whole thing with a bit of full disclosure... This post has been a rough one. It's also way long (likely too long according to some standard of which I clearly don’t follow), so it's split into three. But, I've honestly no idea the rules for sharing multiple parts... one per… Continue reading Turn and Be Healed, In Jesus (Part One)
Life in the Messy Middle
How do we hold onto hope in the messy middle of our story? How do we look at what’s not, and believe it will become what’s best? How do we look at what doesn’t exist and have faith it one day will? How do we hope against hope for the promise of good in the… Continue reading Life in the Messy Middle
