HEALING IS NOT LINEAR
Healing isn’t always a straight line from wounded to whole. Sometimes grief and joy, pain and peace, questions and trust exist at the same time. And through every layer, God stays.

LAYING DOWN THE NEED TO BE RIGHT
For years, “I know” was more than a response. It was protection. What happens when we become secure enough in Christ to listen, receive correction, and admit there may still be something we don’t know?

MATURITY LOOKS QUIETER THAN YOU THINK
Sometimes spiritual growth isn’t revealed by what we learn to do, but by what we no longer feel compelled to do. Maturity may look quieter than we expect.

WHEN OBEDIENCE COMES BEFORE UNDERSTANDING
Sometimes God makes the next step clear without explaining the entire journey. Through a season of surrender, caring for my children, and discovering that I had confused humility with shrinking, I learned that obedience doesn’t always come with immediate understanding.

WHEN SUCCESS COST TOO MUCH
I’m writing this while sitting by a pool on a little two-day getaway with my family. Nothing extravagant. My husband knew I’d been tired for a while, so he decided we needed to get away. Sleep in. Spend a day doing almost nothing. Enjoy a sporting event we all love together. Just have fun. And

Open the door. Close the door. Move me. Fix it. Basically… do something, and sometimes, God does. But I’m learning that frustration has

THE STAMP
When Leaders Accidentally Create Approval Seekers Last week I wrote about a simple question many of us carry: “Did they notice?” But the more I thought about that high-five story, the more I realized there was another side to it. Not the person looking for the stamp, but the leader handing it out. And that
DID THEY NOTICE?
The Slow Work of Untangling Validation This blog entry started as a joke. I was talking with a friend who was excited about getting a high five from a leader. It was lighthearted, and honestly, I understood it. There is something about being noticed by someone you respect that can make you feel like, “Okay,
