Last December, I took a big leap and wrote my story out for the world, with the goal that just one person, who felt beyond hope, would know mercy could find them too. I asked God to allow me to know of just one person who was helped as a result of reading the words […]
I am Your Healer {Letters from God}
I remember when your heart thought it couldn’t go on. How you cried to me in the night when there was no one there but Me. How you were so broken and your pain was so great and you thought you might break right in two. I remember the circumstances of your failure. How you […]
When You Wonder if You’ll Still Belong — When the Truth is Finally Told
It is five years after I remarry when I finally begin to make friends–when I start new. Because after the affair and the divorce and the loss of all I know, I have no other choice but to start again. We attend couple’s bible study every Tuesday for three years with the same five couples, […]
A Beautiful 2nd Blog-iversary!
Exactly two years ago today, with a lot of hope and excitement, I hit publish for the first time. I welcomed you, told you about me and my family, and hoped we could connect in this place. Because I’m a communicator, a connector, and a relator. And to be honest, the love of writing did […]
Because the In-Between Makes Life Possible
I am learning it’s the in-between that makes life possible. As a registered nurse, I’m required to obtain continuing education credits every year to maintain my licensure. And as a labor and delivery RN, one of those classes is called Advanced Fetal Monitoring. Because in labor, I have two patients: the mom and the baby. […]
Caught in the Rhythms of Grace
I’m caught in the rhythms of grace. Grace … outlandish and crazy grace. A love poured out from His heart to mine. Something I don’t deserve. Something I could never earn. Something I so desperately need. The beat of its rhythm is steady and sets the pace for my every day. My every hour. My […]
I Listen When You Call {Letters from God}
I see you scurrying and hurrying and worrying to find me. I see you looking for me and listening for my voice. I know you want to know my will and I see the genuine way you search for me wherever you are. And sweet child, you must know, I hear you. And I listen when you […]
When Surrender Seems Easier than Taking a Fall
The frisbees fall to the ground one after another as we make our way through the trees. Some fly right, others fly left, and it’s rare for them to go exactly on the intended path. We’re all together and it’s nice to get outside, and it’s even warmer than we thought it’d be when we […]
When God ‘s Plan is Better than You Could Ever Imagine
It is impossible to imagine all God has planned for our lives. Impossible to see where we’re headed and all He is going to do. And so many times, when I dream about how life will unfold, I don’t dream big enough. My scope is too limited and my requests far too feeble and small. […]
How to Understand Tragedy and Suffering
The morning is new, the breeze is cool, and the sun is climbing into the sky when our ship reaches the Maui shore. The blue ocean waves shimmer in the light and the rocking of the tender boat soothes our welcome to the quaint city of Lahaina. And as we get off the boat and […]
