Little tidbits about how I'm seeing the Lord work daily. Come on in!
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Today, I had the day off from work. I’ve been working like crazy and all I wanted to do all day was be outside. So somehow I walked 7 miles, half of which I walked at Radnor Lake. This morning, I was listening to John Eldredge’s Pause app and it asked me to think about [...]
Dear friend going through sorority recruitment, I'm thinking about you and praying for you during this time. Every August, my mind always jumps to thoughts about those going through recruitment so soon. It's already crazy enough to be moving to a new city and beginning your college career, but to also throw in recruitment can [...]
We all can agree on the simple fact that 2020-2021 hasn't exactly been the season we planned or hoped for. We've lost people we loved. Jobs have been lost, hard decisions have been made, and often it feels like there's no gas left to put in our tanks. We're running on empty. I've been thinking [...]
Do you ever think about the faith you had as child? The faith you had in your parents to take care of you; the faith you had in Jesus to be your Lord and Savior; the faith you had in some consistency in schedule with school, family, etc. Or maybe you had none of that. Maybe over time you grew to lack faith in your family or didn’t begin to know Jesus from a young age.
Every six months, my department has a half day of prayer offsite individually. A few weeks ago I had my first half day of prayer with work. I wasn’t sure what it would be like, praying for 4 hours consecutively. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before. I had been looking forward to it [...]
I work at an addiction treatment center and it’s pretty much my favorite place in the entire world. Women walk through our doors to receive the help they need. None of them look alike. None of them have the same story, but they have a common thread: addiction wreaking havoc on their lives. I’ve had [...]
I haven't really felt like writing lately honestly. I haven't felt like I have had anything worthy of saying and each time I went to write over the past month or so it just felt phony. Nothing has been particularly wrong, but nothing has been particularly right either. Nashville hasn't really felt like home lately. [...]
