Faith and Fear

This has been a kind of weird season for me. I thought I would write about it because maybe it’s a weird season for you too?!? Or maybe writing about it will help me see things more clearly?!? {That happens sometimes.} Lately I’ve kind of felt like a crazy person. Let’s be honest, we’re all […]

You Know How I Wasn’t Invited…

To attend that party? To play on that team? To sit at that table? To go on that trip?  It’s okay. It really is okay. It wasn’t okay at first. I was hurt as everyone whispered plans and gushed about the fun to be had. I was wistful as I watched every picture go up on Instagram. I was angry as names were […]

What Fear Can Kill

Today’s post is from Bianca Juarez Olthoff. ‘B’ works for The A21 Campaign as the Chief Storyteller. And she is believes in me, and my dreams, even when I can’t believe in them myself.

Give a long overdue apology? Say goodbye to a friend that is stunting your growth? Adopt a child? Looking at […]

Do you ever look at your faith and wonder? Wonder if it would be strong if you didn’t “live a pretty little life.” Wonder if it will survive the really hard times. Wonder if it is wrongly based on the assumption that your life, as a Christian, will only get better, it certainly can’t get […]

From Kicking & Screaming To Grinning & Bearing

Today I had to go to the dentist to get a cavity filled. Not to be all dramatic about it BUT, I have DREADED this appointment all day (actually make that all week.) As long as I can remember, I have had this “intense dislike” (my mom told my I should avoid use of the […]

I Am A Big Scaredy Cat Or Something Like That…

Or maybe I just know what I want? Or maybe I have no idea what I want? Or maybe I am content with where I am right now? Or maybe I am seriously afraid of change or of just putting myself out there? But in my defense, I have no fear meeting new people, confessing […]
