Psalm 61

Gah! 🥹😭 This Psalm! 💗 And verses 5-8, then 11-12! Whew! It starts off by standing in ABSOLUTE STILLNESS until we hear from God. How often do we move too quickly out of that place between praying and hearing Him; pleading for help and seeing Him move; talking at Him without the expectation of experiencingContinue reading “Psalm 61”

Warrior King & Tender Abba

I was reading through Psalm 56 as part of a daily Bible study I do with my core group of girls, and I just love the confidence in God that we find in this Psalm! The overarching theme of the chapter is…no matter what may come, we can trust the Lord because He has consistentlyContinue reading “Warrior King & Tender Abba”

Wisdom, Joy, and Trick or Treating with the Lord! 😉

I have a small group of friends who have decided to start walking through Proverbs together, and every day we share a little text about something specific that stood out to us. Today we were reading Proverbs chapter 8, and I just loved this sweet, little picture that Holy Spirit gave me so much, thatContinue reading “Wisdom, Joy, and Trick or Treating with the Lord! 😉”

Momma’s Hands

I remember when my momma’s hands stopped working—those perfectly moisturized hands that intimately knew the aches and pains of manual labor. Those firm yet gentle hands gripping mine, season after season, giving me the stability I needed to stand and eventually walk through this life. The hands that would whoop my butt when I neededContinue reading “Momma’s Hands”

Moving Forward

I love this old blog. It really travels a long way in my journey with Jesus. Some of the posts are so cringy now! But some bring tears to my eyes as I remember where I was and what was going on behind the keyboard at that time. I’m so thankful I’ve continued to journalContinue reading “Moving Forward”

Nepo Baby

There has been a lot of talk in the “Hollywood news” lately about “nepo babies.” This term is used to refer to the offspring of notable figures who others feel have been given some kind of unfair advantage in becoming successful and/or powerful simply because of their family tree. The main reason people without “specialContinue reading “Nepo Baby”

Alpha Dog

I was having tea with a dear friend the other day, sharing some of the triumphs and tragedies of our lives. My friend mentioned, through all the trials, how thankful she was to have had Jesus, because she didn’t know how she could have made it without Him. Likewise, I agreed that I had beenContinue reading “Alpha Dog”

Refuge

Last week, my social media “memories” feature was kind enough to remind me of the one-year mark of my mom going into the hospital—and in twelve more days, it will mark one year since her departure from this earth. Just three short weeks from hospital, to hospice, to Heaven. I never thought it would happenContinue reading “Refuge”

Chosen

The sun was blazing hot on the asphalt playground, my hulking shadow providing ample shade for the rest of the kids. I knew I would be last. I was always last. But no matter how often it happened, my stomach still churned every time, and my vision blurred through tears that stung my eyes. IContinue reading “Chosen”

Love One Another

Wow. Its hard to believe it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted a new entry. I guess I just got to a point where I felt like I had nothing new to say. I’m still not sure I have much new to say…because the overarching message that my heart has been crying out for hasContinue reading “Love One Another”
