I have fallen into the trap of believing that whatever I write a blog post about, I have to have already perfected. This is such a lie, and it struck me as I read part of Lysa TerKeurst’s Uninvited this morning. We humans are a work in progress and it’s so important for us to admit that […]
Good Grief: I’m Not Mad at God Anymore
It’s been one whole year without my mom. And I’ve decided that cancer sucks. It stole my mom’s health, and it eventually stole the presence of her life in everyone she knew. However, it did not steal joy. Yes, it ripped the breath of happiness right out of each of our lungs when reports stated […]
Our Heaven on Earth
It really wasn’t until my mom passed away that I experienced the distance between heaven and earth. There is such a separation between the perfection of heaven and the brokenness of earth. I am thankful that my mom is experiencing the fullness of God, and she is whole and well in a perfect heaven we […]
The Unfair Love
Grace and love are topics that are often talked about in church (obviously, because it’s the gospel). But I have had the tendency to listen to the words without really understanding the full meaning in my heart. When we try to grasp the meaning of grace in regards to our own struggles in life and […]
What My Mom Taught Me About Worship
There are so many things my mom did for me, but the greatest thing she did for me was set an example for how to live for God. She not only told me how to pray and worship, but she showed me. It amplified my desire to instill this love in the people in my […]
Harvest Time
There’s a process to each season of our lives (good and not so good). There’s beauty in it because we know God has a harvest waiting on the other side of dry and empty.
Thanks a Bunch
I’ve learned quite a lot about thankfulness in the past year, and it’s changed my life. Whether in the middle of organized chaos or your mountain top season, thankfulness will turn your heart upside down, and you’ll realize God is actually fighting for you, that He keeps His promises, and that He sees you. We […]
The Day I Was Mad at God
Now before you read the title of this post and get concerned, let me inform you that I love God with all my heart, but this is an extremely raw post. As many of you may know, my mom passed away on July 29, 2015. It was a day I never imagined I would be […]
When Your Emotions Run You Over
Sometimes I think I have enough emotions to go around. It just takes a downward spiral of events through the day for me to burst. We can pretend we’ve never had our fears, sad days, and pity parties (or cried embarrassing amounts of tears during The Notebook). As people, we are made to feel. I […]
