My heart is alive because of Jesus. I adore my hilariously thoughtful husband and my 4 rascally boys. I delight in poetry, laughter and London Fogs.
I mentioned that I had the sweet opportunity to share at an event entitled “The Anchor” on Thursday evening. I was asked to speak about “anchor moments” in my life ~ those times when I was grounded in my faith as a result of Jesus proving that he really is secure and strong and full of hope. … More Storms and Sunshine
I miss you all. I miss this, this writing and connecting with those of you out there that are gracious enough to read my innermost thoughts. This sparse month of posting has been a gift – a fast of many sorts but as fasts do, they make you hungry! I am craving the space to write more, … More Anchored
The past week and a half has been a breath of fresh air in some ways, and a tornado in others. I went “dark” as you may know from my last post, for lent, and my hiatus from social media has been telling. For the first days, I would find myself pulling out my phone, … More Airplane Mode
With the encouragement of my wonderful husband, I have decided to join him in going dark {on social media} for lent. As much as I enjoy lovely photos and keeping up with friends and the latest on everything from vaccinations to protests at the box office to clips of Jimmy Fallon {ok so I do … More Dark
A week ago last Friday, I had the incredible privilege of speaking at chapel for Kings high school. Reminiscent of Leavenworth, the campus is tucked away north of Seattle. It was a gorgeous day ~ one of those where it seems spring has invaded January momentarily, and it felt like a vacation to drive away … More Invaded
So you know those seasons in life where you are like, “I am killin’ it.” But then you realize it was because there was just no opposition? There was no catalyst to cause the ugliness sitting dormant inside of you to rise to the surface or spew out of your mouth? Like when you are not … More Catalyst.
My two year old, Wesley, is hilarious; destructively, stubbornly, illogically, curiously, maddeningly adorably hilarious. Given, most 2 year olds are hilarious with a good dose of perspective. But today as we were driving along in my rockin’ minivan, I glanced in my rearview mirror at Wesley, and with a huge grin on his face and with his cute little … More I hate you.
Over the past few weeks, I have been making my way through the 2014 Hillsong Colour Conference. Some incredibly gifted and storied women spoke, giving life to God’s word, encouragement to thousands, and no doubt glory to Jesus. Bobbie, a lovely Aussie with a big vision and a sweet accent, shared on Jude… I was so … More Love is on the way…
So, one of my spiritual superheroes is Anne Graham Lotz. She happens to be Billy Graham’s daughter, which says something in and of itself. But even so, she is a woman that is gifted and impassioned for the gospel. Sometime just after I graduated college, on a random Saturday morning, I heard on the radio that … More Just Give Me Jesus… and a Giveaway!!
I just returned home from a sweet and refreshing {and a wee bit exhausting} weekend at Great Wolf Lodge with over 700 of my dear friends who co-labor together in the crazy ministry of Young Life. At this regional leadership retreat, we worshipped, studied, listened, prayed and laughed. Some people grew moss whilst waiting in lines for the slides that … More He Sees Me
