Mended :: Beginning the Journey in Community {Week 1}
I’ve been broken and shattered. And I’ve lived without hope … engulfed with regret and buried in shame. In fact I remember being so broken and stained by the sin of my choices that I seriously wondered if I had stepped just beyond God’s love. Because for me, I willingly made choices that destroyed my […]

Hope For When You’re Empty {Unglued Finale}
We drove halfway up the mountain in an argument and it didn’t get much better once we arrived. I can’t even remember what it was about. But most likely it was precipitated by a lack of time together lately, the stresses of finances, and the myriad of responsibilities on both of our shoulders. When we […]
Unglued {Lesson 6} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
This week has been filled with captivating my thoughts … replacing ideas of comparison and jealousy, quieting negative chatter and internal noise, removing worry and destructive thoughts, And exchanging them all with things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. And while I haven’t gotten it perfect every time, there was progress indeed–progress […]
Unglued {Lesson 5} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
They run around the mountain cabin like a band of barbarians, wild and crazy and loud. They chase and they banter and their excitement is palpable. And still, I’m irritated and annoyed, and I come Unglued. Nevermind they’re just kids in a new and exciting place Never mind they’ve been cooped up in a car […]

Unglued {Lesson 3} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
If there’s anything I’ve realized by tracking my raw emotions and unglued moments this week, it’s that I don’t want to be this way forever–I don’t want to stay the same. As I’ve explored my self-inflicted labels and recognized my exploding and stuffing tendencies, I realize what a mess I really am. Don’t get me […]
Unglued {Lesson 2} & (in)couraged to hope Link-up!
This week it was no surprise that making wise choices in the midst of my raw emotions proved difficult for me. Slow steps indeed, requiring lots of grace. There was the person at church who rudely made an unreasonable request… My husband, who tried to help me, but in my opinion was taking too long… A […]
