Little tidbits about how I'm seeing the Lord work daily. Come on in!
The summer wasn’t an easy few months by any means. I slept very little; I felt unsafe in my own home. Someone I love dearly was going through chemo, and it felt like God was allowing my soul to be suffocated by everything that felt out of my control. I don’t really buy into the [...]
Offer Up Your Firstfruits I live in what most would consider to be a nice area, but it has not been exempt from crime. Over the past few months, almost weekly someone tries to break into my car or into the Airbnb’s by our house. I went almost two months where I did not sleep [...]
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 [...]
