Have you ever found yourself greatly discouraged and flipped through your own notes/pictures/prayers with God, and those scribbles ministered to you? Yep. I'm discovering through a really rough season that my faith in God is a foundation. You can't tear down a wall without running into your foundation.

Even Now
I've been quiet because I've been waiting. And while you wait and there are no news, why speak up? There are several parts of my life that have been in transition, unanswered. I've been praying and waiting. I've tried not to complain, or get my hopes up, or become pessimistic. I am writing this right … Continue reading Even Now
Ebb and Flow
Life has been vibrant and wonderful. I've been trying to understand what Jesus meant by "fullness of life" and not get it twisted with "obligation of life" or "busyness of life" or any other kind of misconception of the meaning of FULLNESS.

Sometimes it feels like I'm chasing after something I may never fully grasp. Maybe it's the planner in me, or the drive to grow and improve, right? My eyesight is pretty bad on both eyes, and it could very well be from squinting to the future so much with the eyes of my heart. Is it … Continue reading Contentment

They pray for and with me. They give me a ton of grace for those 'in … Continue reading 2015 Recap & Sweet ’16
DAILY DEVOS RETURN…
As you all know, the #ATLdevo began back in September of 2014, and ran until about August 2015. Every single day, I made it a discipline to write what I was learning with Jesus, and posted it ONLINE, and not only that, but delivered every morning to the inboxes of 80+ people. NO PRESSURE! The … Continue reading DAILY DEVOS RETURN…
Tasting Fear and Freedom
There are moments in life when you can taste fear. You can feel it in your belly, the cold. Brain goes foggy. Eyes go teary. This is it. This is where all the worst case scenarios are true. It's over. It's not gonna happen. It's the sinking versus swimming, and the flight versus fight. Helpless. … Continue reading Tasting Fear and Freedom
