Happy Father’s Day, Dad 💕
I woke up at 3:45am and drove south without looking back. The only breaks I took were for gas, bathroom and food. I arrived at home 15 hours later— exhausted but so grateful to be held by people who loved me. The transition home was not an easy one. I spent a lot of...
How to Heal a Shapeless Heart
It was just a few weeks ago, as my Pastor spoke in church, that I thought about a feature of God that I haven’t really thought about before. I don’t really know how to jump into this, but I’ll start with asking you a question. Have you ever been so hurt, you either...
A Different Memory of Memorial Day
Memorial Day is forever seared in my memory for other reasons than taking the day to remember those who lost their lives. But before I go into this story, I want to thank the families of the men and women who did lay down their lives for my freedom. Their sacrifice...

Two Words To Keep You Going!
I was sitting outside reading a book about how life rarely turns out as we plan. When I couldn’t help but tear up. I wanted to pray, but at this point in my life, it’s still a challenge. If I am being honest, praying biblically hurts too much. I remember praying hard...
“You Shouldn’t Do That”
I was having a conversation with a former co-worker, when I finally asked his opinion. “You shouldn’t do that.” He said. "Why?" I asked (with a little bit of an attitude) "Cause you’d be too comfortable. You’d get stuck.” I stood there shell shocked. He totally nailed...
