Thinking about them
Yesterday and today I kept thinking about the women who went to the tomb to be with Jesus. I imagine each day they have gone to sit with Jesus’ body. Weep. Maybe they feel so uncertain of what Jesus will actually do. Was it true? Is it real? Has he come and changed me, but…

The Truth
Who are your people? Who are helping you experience who God really is? How are they teaching you? What connections are you making from these experiences?

Do you re-read books?
Do you re-read books? I have a few I like to re-read. These are part of my resources. Books that speak over me and encourage me. It goes without saying but just in case, the Bible is an irreplaceable resource for me. It speaks to me and it amazes me how I can hear the…

I can change my mind.
The mind. It’s beautifully complex but sometimes doesn’t feel so beautiful. Oppressive thoughts, low self worth, and speaking defeated words over ourselves make us feel less than.

On waiting
Sometimes waiting is enough to push me over the edge. Then sometimes I love waiting, like waiting for the coffee timer to ding that the coffee is done. But sometimes waiting is painful… waiting for the doctor to call, i.e. high blood pressure healing to come relationships to restore falling asleep coffee to finish brewing…

Tough Stuff
I have struggled with not having answers. I want answers. I want to find comfort in having all the answers. So I can justify something that has happened, making the pain less. I want something tangible to hang on to. Life circumstances just don’t make sense sometimes. What are we supposed to do when we…

Fear
I’ve lived a lot of my life in fear. The more I feared things, the more those things came true, which kept me in this cycle believing all those fears because some of them had come true. Last night my son had a bad thought, which made him fearful he’d have nightmares. Oh bless him,…
