Little tidbits about how I'm seeing the Lord work daily. Come on in!
The older I get, the less I feel like people want to be vulnerable and honest and go deep with me. The same is true with roles reversed, I find myself sometimes being okay with the same old shallow conversations. I feel a tug at my heart each time it happens. Aching for more. I [...]
On my 10-minute drive to work every day, I am met by many red lights. It's a short commute, for which I am grateful, but it often feels like I'm constantly stopping just to start again. My driving to work reflects what it would probably look like if I were to take back up running: [...]
Mother's Day is a really hard day for our clients at The Next Door. No mother wants to be away from their kids on Mother's Day, and we constantly remind our clients that by being in treatment they're taking steps to become the best mothers they can be moving forward. We had a church come [...]
Today I've been praying over Psalm 69. I just happened to flip open to this passage in Psalm, and I started journaling my own prayer from what I read. Here's my prayer for today: Save me from myself, Lord. There is no foothold for me to keep climbing without Your specific design for my next [...]
Yesterday I was driving back from Tuscaloosa to Nashville. I hate stopping while I'm driving whether it's for gas, to go to the bathroom, whatever it is. If I lose a few minutes on my ETA I feel so aggravated. As I was driving along yesterday, I turned off the GPS. I knew where I [...]
When you were born, one of the first questions asked about you was probably what your name would be. More than likely, your parents had thought long and hard about what they would call you. One of the few things we carry with us our entire lives is our names. They tell people who we [...]
I became an Emily Giffin fan after reading one of her books that was based in Nashville; her reads are always quick and draw you right in from the start. A pretty easy read for those that don't love reading! Rating: 4/5 stars. The only thing about this one is I felt like I've read [...]
Luke 1:26-38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Today is my birthday. Some people hate their birthdays, but I love mine. I’ll admit it, I love a day that’s all about me. And sometimes the other 364 days of the year look a little like my birthday: too [...]
A read I needed and will reread to remind myself of how to re-center myself each day and bring Christ to the center. John Eldredge has developed an app called the "Pause" app and it is based off what he teaches in the book. This app has been so helpful for me daily when I [...]
Fall is my favorite. This is my third fall in Nashville and each year I am always in awe of the ways the leaves change and how the streets are covered in orange and red foliage. A few weeks ago I had a half-day of prayer for work. I went to one of my favorite [...]
