I’ve picked my one word! finally!

I’ve realized that I’ve been “trapped” in by the way I see myself and the way others see me. That I live out what others think of me more than I become who I really am. That I don’t always feel the freedom to express who I am, that I’m [...]

Today was the 10th anniversary and birthday celebration of Port City Community Church, so of course we celebrated with some mariachi, a rap, party hats, balloons, and some cardboard. It was incredible! There are pictures and some more videos to come, but I wanted to leave you with this…

I suppose I don’t have much to contribute on the subject of the Spirit, other than to recognize and point out the fact that the way that we describe Him, is what He is – Holy. I guess I’ve sort of taken that for granted and almost considered it to be His first name – [...]

I know that this is word – “provision” is so easily tossed around, but I feel like it’s been the theme of my song. I’ve seen God provide in ways I didn’t know He would/could/wanted to…

I’ve been alone all day. It’s been good, different- really. Refreshing to be alone with just my thoughts, to take a nap in the middle of the day, to go to the grocery store in spend as much time as I’d like there. To meander through Target on my own clock. To play with my [...]

Today has been fueled by my time in the Word (Colossians kicked my tail) this morning. I usually don’t sense it like I did today – but I did.
It’s an awareness, a presence, a reality of God’s holiness, His spirit – in me, around me, in others. It’s better than the alternative.
Are you fueled?

I woke up this morning earlier than usual for me on a Saturday morning, it was somewhere around 7am. I made breakfast.

It’s such a pretty day – it’s so bright out, green. I am contemplating going to the beach, knowing that time to read and journal is almost the most therapeutic thing for me.
I’m in [...]

Last night, I was reading in a Bridal magazine of all places, this,
When it comes to a wedding think of your guests as sheep. They need to be led.
The last sentence qualifies the first, and makes it much less insulting.
Then this morning, I flip open a book I’ve been trudging through since June, and it’s [...]

Have you ever heard the phrase,
I’m just going through the motions?
I ask because I’m there, right now. This week has kicked my tail, my schedule isn’t rigorous, but it’s invasive. It requires introspection and it requires my heart to be engaged fully on a daily basis – it’s exhausting.
Ever since I’ve been back in America [...]
