I am beginning to lose count of the number of times the Lord has urged me to share. It might be an inkling of something going on with someone. It might be a part of their story they revealed. It might be the look of desperation and a pattern I see in their behavior. ItContinue reading “Scandalous”

Forget Me Not
When you feel remembered–when someone acknowledges and leans in, it is so powerful. You feel seen and heard and chosen. There’s nothing more deflating than having to introduce yourself to a person for the 49th time, and they have no clue who you are. It feels empty. That’s why I love to connect with people–weContinue reading “Forget Me Not”
Contrary to Popular Opinion…
You are not enough. You read it right. That’s offensive, huh? I am NOT saying you do not have worth. I am NOT saying that you do not have value. I am NOT saying you cannot do hard things. I am NOT saying you are not tough. I am NOT saying you are a failure.Continue reading “Contrary to Popular Opinion…”
A good mom…
Well, it’s building again. That pressure to do the right thing, to do it the best way, to prove your worth is on the rise. Where does it come from? From women’s mouths, popular books, sub-cultural norms to your ears–actually straight to your heart. The words marinate in your heart until you believe it andContinue reading “A good mom…”
When blind hearts see
I hate that thing in us, in me, that thinks we know better than God. The voice that says, “yeah, but I see another angle.” “Just this one time I have it figured out.” “I deserve better.” It gets us in a whole heap of trouble. That trouble becomes the state of our heart healthContinue reading “When blind hearts see”
A humble entrance
As I looked toward this new year, I am overwhelmed. Yes, we are having a baby (still sounds crazy to say), but that is not until June. I am seemingly overwhelmed by every task and relationship I face even before the new year rolls. This Christmas season has been busy. We traveled forContinue reading “A humble entrance”
The Ongoing Need For The Gospel
The Ongoing Need For The Gospel. I am willing to beat this drum until my death. This is our life–take it, know it, treasure it. We do not outgrow the gospel. This is a great article to remind us again.
One
Last night, I came together as a part of our church body and participated in the Good Friday service. Greg spoke and talked about the 7 last words Jesus said on the cross. As a congregation, we sang about the gospel and participated in confession and repentance as we took the Lord’s Supper. When IContinue reading “One”
Simply telling…
I subscribe to Real Simple magazine. Each month, I love getting the sleek magazine in the mail with beautiful colors and genius uses for everyday things. Filled with tips for one’s life including clothing, household tips, life articles, recipes which I never use, and decorating. I would say it is the agreed upon choice ofContinue reading “Simply telling…”
blooming fruit
This past week I have been in Chicago with Greg and Rick and Teresa Dunn for the Gospel Coalition conference, and then I trecked over to Memphis for Tiffany and Chris Leuck’s wedding. It has been a FULL week, but it has been a blessing. As I looked out at my backyard this morning, IContinue reading “blooming fruit”
