    Is It Really Okay?

    April 13, 2020 / 2 Comments

    Recently with all of the chaos in the world I have seen many social media influencers speak out on the top of just being. They have said that it is okay to just grieve and sit with the chaos. Many have made a major point to encourage followers to not attempt to use this time at home intentionally. Their point is that the ‘trauma’ and stress is enough and we shouldn’t pressure ourselves to be productive. We should instead eat all the ice cream our tummy needs and enjoy as much Netflix as we can binge. It is a ‘you do you’, ‘self-care’ driven rhetoric that has me feeling very…

    What sin have you ignored, justified, or hidden? The time is NOW to bring it to the Light. No more 'I am sorry, I won't do it again' and then choosing that sin again when temptation feels crushing. The time to render our hearts to the Lord is NOW. He is gracious and slow to anger - abounding in steadfast love. That is your King.

    As I prayed and looked back on the last few months and considered some things I feel the Lord has been bring me to, I realized what my word was going to be. I was actually reading a book I got for my birthday and the word felt like it jumped off the page. I knew then that it was my word.

    What’s the Word?

    December 27, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Two years ago I decided to pray the week from Christmas to New Year’s Day to see what word the Lord would give me. Two years ago my word was “rest” it was a year I needed to recover and press into the Lord. I didn’t feel to many grand feelings from considering that word but it was a blessed reminder when I started to get angsty.

    No Hiding, Be Hidden

    December 13, 2019 / 0 Comments

    “Don’t look at me, mama!” This is my toddler’s new favorite phase.  He says it when he has made a poor choice or is being sneaky. As my little stinker lay under a chair hiding from his hand washing, I couldn’t help but think about how I do this. We ALL do this. At one point, or another, we secretly hope God’s promise to always be near us is not true. We want to ignore it and only cling to it when we are in trouble. …the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you. Deuteronomy 31:6 We categorize God’s promises into seasons – this one for when…

    Self-ology

    November 9, 2019 / 6 Comments

    I have recently been discussing the conversation of inclusion and exclusion with a few friends which led me to share why exclusion hurts me personally the way it does. I have felt left out or not a part of most social situations. And this feeling stems from hurt in my childhood. I have to discovered the source of this pain and hurt feelings by being introspective. It is easy to be hurt or have reactive feelings towards situations, and just let them hurt us. I believe it is important to pause when we feel that and ask the Lord to reveal to us the source of the emotion. If you…
