This has been a season of grieving. Grieving from all the things that continue to make little piles in my lack of understanding. In these moments of grieving, I am finding a contradicting strength that pokes its way through. This weekend, the strengths were God's goodness in nature, friends, trees too tall to comprehend, shooting stars… Continue reading Wisconsin Reminders

Reminder #3
I'm tired. This is heavy. And I am tired. I find myself talking to the sun and the moon to remind myself that you've given such bright reminders that you're in front of me and you're in my rearview mirror as you have them replace one another. I get weary only in the times when I… Continue reading Reminder #3
Reminder #2
We have finally reached the day where you've started chemotherapy. I guess these are the impending moments that will allow all of this to sink in and become reality. I've seen in you exuberance and smiles that induce some calm understanding that it will all be OK. It's as if you're convincing us, the audience, that… Continue reading Reminder #2
Reminder #1
Because sometimes you have to lie in a field of wild flowers. You have to witness the glow of a rainbow before the storm. You have to watch the formation of birds. You have to sing loud enough. You have pray long enough ... all to feel the praise to a faithful God. The praise that must… Continue reading Reminder #1

Entering into a relationship - whether as a friendship or dating - you are opening the door to allow tickles of happiness, pain and love in. You're allowing someone to… Continue reading Kittens and Knitting and Knowing
I've so much to write, but the words are not forming right now. I know that God has been working in such a beautiful way lately, teaching me harsh realities about who I am, and helping me put up construction signs around these areas. So in the midst of lost words and newness... ... these… Continue reading
Becoming
There is so much that is happening inside. So many emotions that are mixing, including the utter reality of attempting to condense my 23 years into a smaller room. Really praying that this is all possible... But as I'm tearing down my room, I'm finding the treasures between the nooks (old notes, lost jewelry and… Continue reading Becoming
Happy Morning Thought
Next week ... I finally get to move to this beautiful city.
Kye Kye – Walking This
There are certain songs out there that expel truth. I started playing Kye Kye tonight and overheard some words more clearly than usual. I then decided to look up the lyrics to Walking This: Closest friend, I'm lost in love. To know what you've done and why it's solved. This perfect love, I'm dressed in… Continue reading Kye Kye – Walking This
