My Daydream

The sunshine and soft breeze gracing my chest feel so true How long it has been since I’ve made the acquaintance of these nature friends their appearing is my wish, my gift, my daydream. This is my daydream: the two women next to me singing Hakuna Matata with such a lightness and purity coaxing me […]

A Lord of Deep Feeling

I want to be loved, adored, and committed to. I want to be someone’s first choice and to be wholly sought after even through all the noise. In a recent interaction with the Lord Jesus, I was freshly reminded that He wants these things too. Part of being made in the image of God means […]

When God says “no”

In this current season of life, the Lord is teaching me not only how to listen to Him, but how to obey Him. It is hard. I don’t think I have ever really brought something I want to the Lord before, because when I did recently I got an answer that kind of throws me […]

Serial Lover

This is something I wrote back in February of 2017, I just rediscovered it. Praise the Lord for being so rich. The day was glorious. My heart was unlocked to the truth of the Gospel. For years, I had been a slave to self- serving desires and emotions; I confused true love with lust and […]

My First Love and My Best Love

Lately I’ve been reflecting and diving into the things/ activities that I really enjoy. I am currently developing a deeper appreciation and fondness of pottery. I am getting back into climbing and bouldering after taking a short break. What I really love about these two activities is the beauty in each of them. There is […]

Transcending the Struggle Bus

In these past weeks, I have been on what I like to call the “struggle bus”. And I am partly comforted to know that we are all on that bus from time to time… or all the time lol. Anyway, I feel like I am just being swamped my situations. My dad had a heart […]

Faithfulness of The Lord

The Lord has been faithful to me in such a fresh way this week. He has exposed me, all of my faults, expectations, and insufficiency. I feel so naked before Him. Being exposed is very uncomfortable. Knowing that someone can see all of you– skin, bones, scars, heart, shame, secrets, fantasies, thoughts, desires, fears, and […]

But Wait… There’s More!

Let’s just start with one BIG exhale and an “Oh Lord Jesus!” haha. I enjoy Christ as the ultimate reality. Somewhere in the book of Romans it says, “for from Him and to Him and through Him are all things.” I have really experienced Jesus in this way recently. He is more. He is not […]

Redeeming Love: The Story of God and His People

Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers, is a hurricane of conflict in the human heart with love at it’s eye. With unshaking accuracy, Rivers details the experience of Christians everywhere through an unlikely love story. As humans, we are rebels and runaways by nature, but God pursues us with shameless persistence till the end to make […]

Success

Success never comes easily. Over time, I have learned that true success is never reflected by outward appearance, because it has everything to do with the state of the heart. This is why it is so difficult for people to actually feel they’re successful, because they’re not putting in work where it will last. Sure, […]
