On Peace, Direction, and Clarity and What’s Next
by
From June 9th on my Instagram. Spent the last week at @onsiteworkshops. I am so thankful for the work of @milesadcox and their entire team. Nervously walked into a room with 40 strangers a week ago and am leaving changed — with a renewed sense of peace, of direction and of clarity. We laughed together. We cried together. […]
Faith and Fear
by
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 […]
Nashville: A New Season
by
“Seasons is a wise metaphor for the movement of life, I think. It suggests that life is neither a battlefield nor a game of chance but something infinitely richer, more promising, more real. The notion that our lives are like the eternal cycle of the seasons does not deny the struggle or the joy, the […]
Collateral Beauty
by
I, like many of you, read and deeply resonated with Jen Hatmaker’s Good Friday post, When Treasured Things Are Dead. Jen and I have had different journeys, different experiences, and I can’t even fathom her pain and grief. I grieve for her, and with her. And I know the difficulty of untangling life and ministry, Jesus […]
On Leaving and On Looking Ahead to the Uncomfortable Unknown
by
Yesterday I posted a picture of me packing up my office. And several of you guys were like, “Um, what?!?” So here’s a little bit of what’s been happening in my life and in my heart. A week or so ago I resigned from my role as COO and Strategist of the IF:Gathering. Yep. BIG change. […]
Here We Go Again…
by
Man, this one is a hard one to write and I’m not quite sure why. Maybe because somehow blogging about it makes it feel more real? Maybe because I know it will provoke questions I am not ready to answer? Maybe because I know some of your reading this should have heard it directly from me […]
On Beginning Again
by
If I ever write a book {oh how I hope I never-ever have to write a book}, I think it will have to be on transitioning. Because I am now officially the transition queen. With three major transitions in three years, I think this is a subject from which I can speak with absolute authority. […]
Fighting The Funk
by
I love being back in Nashville I do. I love my job. I love my house. I love living someplace where fall means college football, crisp mornings, and foliage, glorious foliage. But I’d be lying if I said that everyday is sunshine and smiley faces. Truth be told, this weekend I’ve fought the funk. You […]
Going. Going. Gone.
by
Yesterday, I packed up what was left of my life in California. In between errands and goodbyes, I stole an hour with my friend Jennie {yes, I reposted a guest post I did for her yesterday} and her husband Zac. They like many, asked how my transition has been, what I’m leaving behind and what […]
