A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to join a handful of bloggers on an absolutely-amazing-once-in-a-lifetime-kind-of trip. We flew out to sunny Los Angeles, stayed in some super swanky digs (oh how I love W Hotels), and rolled around Hollywood in a white Hummer that stretched as long as a football field. We […]
Sometimes my singleness feels like a curse, a crazy-never-ending-not-sure-what-is-wrong-with-me-but-surely-it-is-something-obvious-why-won’t-anyone-tell-me curse. But lately instead of pouting, struggling, fighting through this season of singleness, I have been dwelling on the opportunities this season provides. I have been shifting from a posture of doubt, frustration, and impatience to a posture of trust, privilege, and hope. I have been […]
Today I am guest posting on Mary DeMuth’s site. I absolutely love Mary’s heart for people. She is the ultimate encourager. And she is a beautiful writer. Her memoir Thin Places is a powerful look at moments in life when God comes near. Here is one of my “thin places.” I know that God is […]
Today I’m guest posting over on (In)Courage. (In)Courage is one of the few blogs I get sent to my inbox every day. Some of my favorite writers, and friends, are regular contributors. And so I was extremely honored when they asked me to share something on the subject of Community for their anniversary. Some people […]
A couple of weeks ago I finished John Ortberg’s The Me I Want To Be. I LOVE this book. It got me thinking, brought clarity to the cloudiness, answered questions I didn’t know I was asking, and offered peace to replace some of my stirring. My copy is all marked-up with underlines and notes of promptings […]
I’ll go ahead and admit it. I am a huge Don Miller fan. I love EVERYTHING I’ve read that he has written. And I love EVERYTHING I’ve heard him say. His words simply resonate. I read Blue Like Jazz when I was in my late twenties and pretty skeptical of the religious rigamarole. Don’s candor […]
Logically I KNOW that I have enough. But my feelings never seem to be logical. (Oh, how I wish they were.) So…I find myself haphazardly fluctuating between wanting more and feeling…just plain overwhelmed. In my relationships, at work, with my piles of stuff, it’s never enough until…it feels like too much. Oh, how I want […]
If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know I am a big fan of John Mark McMillan and his song, “How He Loves.” Big fan. Such a big fan that I had 9 of my blogging friends share their thoughts on the song. Such a big fan that I begged my friend Stephen Brewster […]
Over the last two weeks, I’ve asked some friends to share their impressions about John Mark McMillan’s How He Loves. These posts have been so good for me. They’ve been food for my soul. I have loved each and every one. Their beauty lies in their uniqueness. Yesterday, inspired by the series Bill Cahusac shared his […]
I just love that Stephen Brewster is wrapping up the How He Loves series. A few months ago as the Senior Director of Marketing for Integrity Music, Stephen introduced me to John Mark McMillan and the song that inspired this series. Even more, I love that Stephen, his lovely wife, and beautiful kids just moved […]
