We are 12 today. The journey to this place nearly broke us. But all along, God was arranging things for this beautiful new season we've just begun.
Twelve years in and a million more to go.
The Box
The thing about pain is that it doesn't go away when it's ignored. It gets hidden, stuffed away in a box at the very back of the heart's closet and for a while forgotten about. But it always finds its way out eventually.
Mosaic
When something is shattered sometimes the pieces are too small to put back together again. But that's just because you're looking at it wrong.
White noise … OFF
I didn't even know how weary my soul was until I found the rest it was longing for.
How my high school job actually did prepare me for my life.
Sometimes life is weird. Like how being a lifeguard in high school helped me realize my potential as an elementary recess monitor.
Grief
Throughout my life, I've always connected with Jesus in joy. This year is different. This year, I connect with him in grief.
My Polaroid Photograph Life
What I've discovered about life without a job is that I have no measurement of success. I never realized before how important that is to forward progress.
What no one ever told me about being a stay-at-home mom.
When I stopped working last year, I had a vague idea of what being a stay-at-home mom would be like. But no one had prepared me for the reality of the biggest adjustment.
Thoughts on birth, death and the temporary nature of life.
Christmas is always a conflicted season for me. It a time I think a lot about death, actually. Every year when we pull out the Christmas stuff, out come all the memories.
Wrapping up 2020 like…
Seriously I don't think any of us saw 2020 coming. But when I think back on this past year, I realize I get to choose where the story goes.
