In prayer recently ,I once again claimed my surrender to Christ, asking Him to “take the reins” of my life. I thanked Him for the lessons I’ve learned when I’d tried to steer the horse of my life without His direction, thanked my vessel for being such a trooper in what I’d put her through. […]
I’ve been trying
I’ve been trying to organize my thoughts. They come out through my thumbs just to get them out, so I can make it through a day sane, only to return to a pile of thought. Thought, I had assumed, I’d more-easily organize now that I’ve opened some head space. So far…nope. Just many, many more […]
Burn the ships
I’ve made some pretty major life decisions over the last year, and I find myself being questioned on occasion about if I’m being too ambitious, or if I’m perhaps over-reacting to the life-situations that have come to a head.

But I’m also, for the first time in quite some time, excited. My Father has been walking me through a tough season, and is showing me parts of myself […]
Big plans?
Today’s truth: Where I’m going matters way less than my traveling companion. I love the Book of James, there is SO much pertaining to character, wisdom, trust, and submission. A big take way for me comes from Chapter 4: 13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend […]
No Filter
Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask […]
