where my heart and His Story collide
Favorites are funny. No rhyme or reason, sometimes fickle and flimsy, but they remain favorites all the same. And, love stories? Well, we all love a good love story. Our favorites keep us filled with the hope that good wins in the end. I bought a sort of frame once that said, "Our love story… Continue reading A Favorite Love Story
Yeah, so it's been a sweet, hot minute since I posted a thing. For many reasons and not super clear reasons (yet), I've just been unable to transfer thoughts to words that seemed worthy of sharing.

We have some exciting news in our family. My nephew is getting married and it's just around the corner! Even better, his bride is probably one of the most beautiful souls ever created.

See, I keep going over and over in my mind and on my keyboard these ideas… Continue reading It’s True Love, I Tell Ya
He was in the beginning, yet born as a man. He's on the throne with God, yet died as a lamb. He held the hand of his mother, yet holds the whole world. He loved unto death, yet no sin He performed. He is Risen, yet was raised like the worst of criminals. He is… Continue reading Fixing Our Gaze
You know… many times God tells us to forget. Like the former things that we have no reason to recall because He is doing a new thing (Isaiah 43:18-19).
