I remember the first time I realized I was making a major life decision based almost entirely on fear. I had dressed it up quite nicely too, giving it all sorts of different looks and disguising the truth. I called it caution, called it wisdom, called it waiting for more clarity. But when I got […]
I have a confession. For a long time, I read Romans 12:2 like it was a motivational poster. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Nice thought. A renewed mind. Moving on. It wasn’t until I hit a season where my thinking was genuinely working against me, that this verse came back to mind. […]
I used to think freedom would feel a certain way. Lighter, maybe. Quieter. Like the moment you finally put down a heavy bag you’d been carrying too long. But when I started asking God what it actually meant to walk in freedom, His answer surprised me. It wasn’t about feeling less afraid. It was about […]
I spent a long time looking for fullness in the wrong places. These places didn’t seem wrong when you first looked at them. Think respectable. Productive. Places that made sense on paper and looked reasonable from the outside. Filled with achievement. The next goal, the next season, the next version of things that would finally […]
I am a natural prioritizer. I often act first and deal with seeking answers later. Give me a list and I will rank it. Give me competing demands and I’ll build a framework for navigating them. Give me a complicated season with too many moving parts and I’ll find some sort of a system for […]
I have a bad habit of waiting for significance to announce itself. Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t sit down at the beginning of a day thinking I’ll only pay attention to the remarkable things. It’s more reflexive than that. More like a background filter that’s always running, quietly sorting moments into the ones […]
I wrote my way through one of the most depleting seasons of my life on sheer momentum and very little else. Fullness wasn’t even remotely on my radar. The deadlines didn’t move because my energy did. The responsibilities didn’t pause because my reserves were low. The people who needed me kept needing me, as people […]
There’s a perception making too many people believe that suffering is a sign you’re doing something wrong. That fullness in life looks like things working out. That abundance means the hard parts don’t last long or hurt too deeply. And then life happens. The diagnosis comes. The relationship doesn’t restore. The provision doesn’t arrive in […]
I had a very specific picture in my head of what a full life would look like. Of when I’d know I was living in abundance. I’m not sure exactly when I formed it. Probably somewhere in the middle of expectations, plans, and quiet assumptions that build up over years without you really noticing. But […]
Discover how hope in waiting can bring peace during dark seasons, especially when God feels silent and circumstances feel heavy. As we begin this Advent season, keep in mind the 400 years of darkness for the Israelites who had been promised the birth of a Savior and were no longer hearing from the prophets who […]
