Heart pounding. Dry mouth. Hands shaking. Words fumbling. Anxiety at its finest. The first time I spoke in front of an audience about God was a total flop by earthly standards. I rushed through as fast as possible so I didn’t have to stand up there alone for one more second. I had let fearContinue reading “Fearing Forward with Jesus”

I love Jesus but…
I love Jesus, but I cuss a little. I just about died laughing when I read the sign my friend gave me for my writing desk. Then she told me why she bought it for me– because even if we love Jesus we have to remind ourselves daily of some important truths. Like how JesusContinue reading “I love Jesus but…”
Fighting Fear
I’ve seen it a few times now. A huge ugly hawk floating through the air looking for something to eat. Then out of nowhere, a little bird climbs high. She gets above the menacing hawk, looks down, and dives straight into it– pecking at the hawk’s back. She does it again and again as manyContinue reading “Fighting Fear”
Detoxing the Soul
In high school I ate chips, candy, and a pop for lunch and didn’t think twice. Now I eat my veggies and drink hot tea like it’s my job.

Mamaship: Surviving Motherhood
It’s 3 degrees out and my best friend’s car pulls up to my snowy sidewalk. There he waits for the bus everyday without freezing his face off.

It may seem like a small insignificant act of kindness,Continue reading “Mamaship: Surviving Motherhood”

The Best place to hide your Resolution
Usually about halfway through January 1st I think long and hard about breaking my resolution. I’m still working on the whole perseverance thing. I tend to be more of a wherever the wind takes me kind of girl. Thank goodness our God is not. It may be a new year for us, but every yearContinue reading “The Best place to hide your Resolution”
Treasuring up Christmas
I love Christmastime so much I don’t want to let it go. So many things about this season make life a little sweeter and love a little louder. I want to take it with me into the snows of January and the rains of April and the sunburns of July. Mary did too. In LukeContinue reading “Treasuring up Christmas”
