Longing for Something More

November 4, 2018

The holidays are coming and the influx of catalogs in my mailbox confirms it. I can't seem to throw them away because their contents might offer me the perfect Christmas gift for my husband, the ideal accessory for my house, or to-die-for shoes. The likelihood of me actually buying something from them is very slim, [...]

The Problem With Our Need For Enough

September 23, 2018

More often than I like, or even care to admit, I feel 100% at the end of my rope. It is embarrassing to write, you know…to even say the words, “I am losing all hope.”  It goes against everything I claim to believe. Everything I sit down and write.   [...]

Restoring Brokenness

September 16, 2018

As our hearts reel from an acute awareness of the sin in our beloved Church, the call for each one of us to become a saint rings loud and true. I don't know about you, but when I think of the needs that I see in our time, [...]

You Are Not The Hero Of Your Story: thoughts on surrender and living in the Father's Love

September 2, 2018

My youngest child was just four years old when we moved from California to Connecticut. The main reason for this major uprooting? To be closer to family.

August 19, 2018

We've all been there. It isn't that we aren't aware of the ways we need to improve…but actually making the changes can be overwhelming. [...]

BLAZE: The Conversation Starter

August 12, 2018

My favorite part of leading BLAZE is getting to answer questions.
Middle school-aged girls are filled with questions. They have doubts, they desire clarification, and they want to share their thoughts in a space that will allow them to make their relationship with God personal and meaningful. [...]

What is BLAZE?

July 29, 2018

At the end of my first year of BLAZE, I turned to my darling group of middle school girls and asked them what they had learned.
One girl responded and said, “In BLAZE I learned that God loves us no matter what; that no matter what we do, [...]

Introducing Blaze!

July 22, 2018

In her book Yes Please, author Amy Poehler wrote something that really stuck with me. She said that early on, she determined that her currency was not going to be her looks- it would be her sense of humor. What did she mean by currency? [...]

Continuing the Fight for our Freedom

July 1, 2018

I am heading to the White House to celebrate the 4th of July. For real. Our son, Jonny, is performing there and is bringing me along-my flight and hotel included in the deal. A confession-when we first got the news (along with a request for our social security numbers), [...]

Throw on Your Leather Pants and Embrace Your Identity as a Warrior

June 17, 2018

As I walked to my favorite coffee shop in downtown St. Augustine to write this post, I nestled into a fitting mental posture by reciting the word, “warrior,” over and over again. As I did, all sorts of quintessential, warrior-esque images popped into my mind's eye. [...]
