It sits with me. I feel it, looking at me, perceiving me, never doing much other than existing. In the last year, I’ve spent a lot of time understanding grief. I’ve listened to podcast episodes where individuals cut open their grief and share it with the world. I’ve read blogs and dissected thoughts about theContinue reading “Wretched & Lovely”

Enough Time
My alarm went off, and I wondered if I really needed to get up. I love the morning, especially when it’s quiet, and no one is awake yet. Every year I love it more. Every year I get older and wake up earlier. Today it was 5:34 AM, just enough time to workout before myContinue reading “Enough Time”

He wooed me again two months later, and the rest isContinue reading “The Story of Us”
Tuesday Benediction
I haven’t read my Bible yet today. And I’m still trying to let what I studied yesterday resonate with me today, that is, if I can remember it. Sometimes I struggle to recollect sentences that I read only moments ago. My brain moves on, my thoughts move elsewhere, my spirit distresses over other things. IContinue reading “Tuesday Benediction”
4 Ways to Love Better
Today, my number one turns 25. Hold on, let’s look back for just a moment.. SUCH BABIES! But absolutely smitten. I’m celebrating this guy today, and if he’s taught me anything (and really, he’s one of the smartest people I know. I learn new things everyday.) it’s how to love well. I thought I’d compileContinue reading “4 Ways to Love Better”
