Slow.
Tonight I took it slow. I took a bath. Washed my hair. Stared at the ceiling. Drank some tea. Put on a nightgown and slathered something honey based all over my face. The laundry and dishwasher are going at the same time, and I’m trying not to think what that’ll do to my utilities bill.…

My Big Mouth and the trouble it brings.
Have you ever said too much? Spoke too much? Made something too much “about you“? Only to realize it way too late to backpedal, so now you have to double down and follow through—digging yourself into a deep, black, unforgiving hole?

Aren’t I Supposed to Be Successful by 30?
I had a plan. I was going to graduate from college at 22. Be married by 25. Start having kids at 28. And be a successful, functioning, debt-less adult by 30. Let’s all applaud my ignorance together.

Love God, but Hate People?
You can’t claim to love God, but hate or ignore those made in His image. A bite-sized blog.

An Open Letter to the Tired, Discouraged Ministry Leader
Dear ministry leader, I know it’s hard. (Try not to shake your head, roll your eyes and say, “You have no idea.”) I may not understand your situation fully, but I have a concept. I know what it feels like when God gives you a vision and it burns brightly inside of you. You want to…
