This morning I was reminded of something I heard Bob Goff say at a conference last year. He talked about how Jesus sees us for who we are becoming. Not for who we were, not for who we currently are. He sees us for who He’s making us to be. This struck a deep cord … Continue reading Who You Are Becoming

In Living Color
Last week I wrote about what it looks and feels like to live our life in faded color, and how it can be easy to offer the world a safe, edited version of ourselves.

Many factors have contributed to my not knowing what my soul’s voice sounds like. … Continue reading On Finding My Voice

The Once Over
My heart nearly broke last week while watching my kids’ swimming lessons. Chaos ensues every week as kids of all ages swarm the pool.

Amongst these little swimmers … Continue reading The Once Over

For a matter of months now, I feel like I've been stumbling around in the dark. I've been feeling restless and afraid. At the same time I've also been feeling courageous and confirmed. It's been a lot for this girl's head and heart. I've decided I need to share the real process I'm going through … Continue reading A Season of Healing
