“This is how we make important changes–barely, poorly, slowly. And still, He raises His fist in triumph.” – Anne Lamott, Small Victories I used to believe that faith in Christ, having a relationship with God, was something that crashed over us in a massive wave. An incredibly loud, huge moment in time where a flash ofContinue reading “Devotion & Triumph: His Girl”

Guilt, Shame, & My New Name
I have a long list of complaints. I have a list of wishes and wants. I have a list of pleas. I’ve spent the first few weeks of 2016 taking care of me. Chopping my hair off, painting my fingernails, buying a new pair of jeans, flossing my teeth daily, putting make up on andContinue reading “Guilt, Shame, & My New Name”

I wish I could tell you how many times I have returned here after a long day, sometimes in the middle of the chaos, waiting for the words to just spill out like rain drops and scatter beautifully. Too many to count. Too many moments where I’ve accepted a tiny dose of failure only becauseContinue reading “Here In My Holy Place”
Tantrums and Triumphs

He tells me, sometimes even cries, that he just can’t do it. He’s frustrated, and IContinue reading “Tantrums and Triumphs”
