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 […]
Five Reasons to Tell Your Story {Allume}
For the past two years I’ve attended an amazing conference for bloggers called The Allume Conference.

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 Being Weary Becomes Suffering :: {Hope for the Weary Mom}
I’m a mama, and many days I feel weary. Maybe you do too? What is it about motherhood that runs us down and drags us along? I’m thinking you know exactly what I mean. It’s a dichotomy, this motherhood-life we live. Loving our daily lives, yet wishing they were not as they are. Feeling connected […]
God is the Giver of Dreams and Fulfiller of All Gifts
God is the giver of dreams, the mover of mountains, and the fulfiller of all good and perfect gifts … Gifts He gives in His time. For the past few months I’ve been a part of a group of women, led by the amazing dreamer-girl Holley Gerth, called the God-sized Dream Team. She wrote an entire […]
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 […]
