It's been a couple years since I did an end of the year post, but it's time. So much happened. So much to remember. So much to celebrate.
Well, 2019, it’s been fun. Literally.
On tearing down walls and creating a beautiful space for community.
We've been talking about it for lots of years. It finally happened. We renovated our home into a place to cultivate life.
It’s so much more than a new kitchen.

Dear Culture. A Breakup Letter.
We’ve been together for a while now. So I know this letter will probably come as a shock. But I don’t think our relationship is good for me. I think we should spend some time apart.

And that is the gift God gave me in my marriage.
