“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”

A Yoga Newbie
This week begins my third week (Or maybe the fourth, I honestly can’t remember) of doing yoga on a daily basis. I am not a yogi, and it has been ridiculously difficult getting into a healthy state of mind. I went into the outlook of good health about seven months ago, but was completely thrown offContinue reading “A Yoga Newbie”
The Student

Every day I spend elsewhere is like ignoring a close friend; it rattles the relationship. And when I do return, I flip through the pages with a sense of foreignContinue reading “In Boldness”
The Joy of Kindness
And so I insist–and God backs me up on this–that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd…that’s no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him, been well-instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. Since, then, weContinue reading “The Joy of Kindness”
Nothing & Everything about Parenting
I like to know where I’m going. Like when I’m following directions, I know my next four turns before they arrive. Preparation. No surprises. In other words, the exact opposite of parenting. Last night I laid in bed planning out the next year for Asa. His bedding, clothes, haircut, things to buy. And then myContinue reading “Nothing & Everything about Parenting”
