Homies
I know her back story and she knows mine. Our spirits connect at a different level…even though we are about as different as could be. I am young. She is old enough to be my grandma. I am short. She is tall. I have… Continue Reading “Homies”
Sweet Silence
Hello Friday. It’s that day again that I come to a coffee shop to rest and receive from the Lord. Sometimes I feel like I do the most talking, but I’m learning to sit and listen to Him. Even if He doesn’t say anything.… Continue Reading “Sweet Silence”
Best. Valentine. Ever.
It’s that time of year again…when every store is decorating in red and pink hearts. Chocolate screams at you from every corner and the card section makes your eyes bug out of their sockets with an over-attention to a certain color palette. I have… Continue Reading “Best. Valentine. Ever.”
It’s Called Mercy
“I’ve made a mess of my life.” The woman sitting in front of me tried blinking back the tears to no avail…

This is one of my favorite times of year. I’ve spent most of my growing up years in the North with snowy, white Christmases and lots of sledding and hot cocoa. I’ve also had several Southern winters (shout out to my favorite Arkansans!) where… Continue Reading “Good Gifts”
Wonder in the Waiting
“The thrill of Hope, a weary world rejoices” the all-too familiar carol lilting out on the radio. I say “all-too familiar” because sometimes familiarity breeds contempt. I often miss the big picture with things that are right under my nose or staring me directly… Continue Reading “Wonder in the Waiting”
Write Your Blessings
Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Gratefulness. Praise. Thanksgiving. We have all heard it over and over again. We’ve read books about it. We’ve heard sermons on it. We’ve told our friends… Continue Reading “Write Your Blessings”
