He will quiet you with His love. I wasn’t going to write this post. I’ve preached it on stages. I’ve shared it at coffee shops and on sofa’s and dinner tables with ladies around me, but I haven’t “publicly” written in a while. I’m not sure how to explain the why, but I wanted a […]

A Summer of Feels

Summer time has always been my favorite. Even as a full time working adult (you know where summer is really just a mythical part of your past you know existed at one time, but now you’re not sure – DID I DREAM ALL THE GOODNESS UP OR WAS IT REAL LIFE – WHY DO JOBS […]

My Week of Meals: Meal Planning Made Easy

April 14, 2015.Reading time 9 minutes.

Planning ahead is key. I know this. I know I function so well when I do this. I know I will spend gobs of dollar bills to make this happen (aka – buy healthy meals prepared by someone else), but lately I’ve been focused on not letting my crazy life take precedence over the fundamental […]

Tough Crowd

February 12, 2015.Reading time 14 minutes.

My entire team hadn’t even scurried off the stage when I heard the words whispered behind the backstage curtains. I had already braced myself for them. “Man, tough crowd tonight.” On the surface they were right. It was a tough crowd. Have you ever tried to lead worship for 12-14 year olds who just literally […]

I worked 13 glamorous hours straight yesterday. I love my job(s) – all of them. By the end of the day, I felt accomplished and thankful for the abundance of opportunity to grow and work. No complaints here. I wanted to get home, take a bath, and slip right into bed in preparation for an […]

Dinner dates and discussions: Is God Really Personal?

August 21, 2014.Reading time 26 minutes.

I had just gotten off of work and scurried into the restaurant searching for my dinner guest. I was running a few minutes late and he had already snagged us a table. It was in the back room of the restaurant and a table in the center. I prefer booths. They weirdly feel more safe […]

Survey Takers: Thank you, I love you, You made me cry alligator tears.

July 9, 2014.Reading time 8 minutes.

I’ve been working on a book for a few years now. Sometimes I find myself engrossed in it and other times I’ve felt like I needed to just walk away. Mostly, I feel like I’ve been living this book and stopping to chronicle the journey. I haven’t touched the book in months and honestly haven’t […]

The Woman I see

April 30, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

It was quite a beautiful night last night at Church of the King’s Women’s Night with Sheila Walsh. I was so encouraged and challenged. Sheila’s message on navigating the life storms we face – expected or not – hit so close to home in my heart. The last few years have been stormy to say the […]

April 25, 2014.Reading time 11 minutes.

As my family sat around the dinner table Easter night, we exchanged quite an array of conversation. Julie (my mom) and I hung in there as we were surrounded by 7 of our favorite boys/guys/men (they are really all men – but I can’t help remember when some of them were my real life baby […]
