JESUS is My Resolution

It has been a couple months since I sat down to write. It's a busy time of year, after all. There was one subject that I started to write about several times but chickened out every time. Maybe some day... My holiday season has been as usual, I suppose. Lots of things to do, traditions …

Saying Goodbye

I've said several goodbyes throughout my 30-some years of existence. I've said goodbye to friends after graduating high school. Goodbye to family as I leave for college. I've said goodbye to friends after graduating college. Goodbye as I've moved several times throughout three states. And I've said goodbye to loved ones after they have taken …

Are You Enough?

YOU ARE ENOUGH. This short and sweet saying floats around pretty frequently, assuring us that we are enough. Many times we feel we're not good enough, pretty enough, strong enough, smart enough...     We like the saying "You are enough" because it's like a pat on the back or a warm hug that reassures …

Breaking Up With Fall

We've had a good run, but I'm breaking Up With Fall.

Sex and the Unmarried Christian

I've been reading quite a few articles lately about what is wrong with the church, why millennials aren't in the church, what's wrong with marriage and why young people aren't getting married, and so much of it is coming down to one word.

I have finished my 14-Day Quick Purge Challenge and it …

Pizza Portals And Human Interaction

Have you heard about these new pizza portals? I was listening to the radio the other day while driving home for my lunch break and they were talking about pizza portals. Sounds sci-fi, right? Sounds like a hole will open up in your living room or office and a pizza will appear. Well, that's kind …

The Calling of Motherhood

Several years ago when I just had the one child -- she was about 6 at the time -- I was struggling. Restless. Anxious. Eager to be doing something for God. I had ideas but time, energy, and lack of childcare were a hindrance. I felt useless. I cried often during this time. My heart …

My 2-Week Quick-Purge Challenge

I am in a season of purging. I want it gone. All of it. There's just way too much stuff in this space. For me, and for many, stuff inhibits my creativity, my thinking, and my peace. It adds stress. It adds noise. And it creates more places for dust to land and more things …
