Written on my heart…
Lately the tips of my fingers have been aching to put “pen to paper,” playlists to day drives, and soliloquies to the hills and valleys. So much is changing beneath these bones and it feels delightfully out of my control. Beautiful chaos. Sad and yet hopeful. Two things I know… life is a poem and…

A new year is right around the corner. With both hesitancy and excitement that means that there are new milestones ahead to be met, new traditions to create, and new adventures to be had. Lists are a “thing” of mine. Seriously, I make lists to make lists… and scribbling an item off is “satisfaction at…

Waymaker
The tranquil ambiance of a well-lit Christmas tree fills the room tonight. One of my favorite Spotify stations, “Coffeehouse Worship”, is playing so that the melody dances lightly across the room but almost inaudible. Slowly I grab my laptop and “start-her-engine”. Unsure of what exactly is going to spill from my fingertips I wait in…

Good Ends & Good Beginnings
Recently a good solid “streak” of mine ended. You know the type? A daily count type tickler on some app saying you’ve logged on every day? Honestly it’s marketing genius for people (I’m these people) who are self competitive. The Bible app has one and it tells you how many consecutive days you’ve logged on…

I conquered…
The wind is slowly whispering through the pines as these thoughts emerge and spill onto this canvas of glass and light. I vowed not to bring my laptop so the tap tap tapping of my fingertips evade the quiet morning a bit. A steady hiss of a warm lit fireplace send heat into my surrounding,…

Heart
What is on my heart… As I bobbed and weaved the familiar roads to work this morning I was in deep thought. Perplexing questions ached in my mind and demanded answers that I didn’t have. “Jesus are you there?”… now I KNOW he is here. Our big, amazing, God never leaves us. He’s always waiting…

DEAD END
Do you ever run across something in your average day and think “that’ll preach”? Yesterday I trotted out the door and began walking “my loop”. It’s about an hour walk, sprinkled with flat surfaces a steep decline and a steep incline. No doubt the incline gets the best of me every time these days, but…

Surrender
“Cursed in the garden of paradiseYou knew the pain from a lover’s eyesTo get us back, You gave it allFilled in the likeness of flesh on earthYou bore the cross that we deserved” I’ve spoken about other lyrics in this same song before, and how they have, at times, been able to breathe life into me. These particular…

Gladness
Early morning… This may be my most favorite part of the day. The sun just starts to dampen the ocean of stars and slowly they dance away as everything awakens with the light. I sit on my porch in one of my two favorite rocking chairs that grace my little stoop. I hear the wind…

It’s your choice
It’s your choice… I was talking to a dear friend of mine the other day when the Holy Spirit hit me with a zinger… You know the ones I’m talking about. You’re having a conversation and wisdom that isn’t yours comes out of your mouth, and it speaks to you both. That’s the one! Here…
