I’m en route to retreat to finish my Holy Yoga training, guys. I am and have been consumed with excitement and nervousness and all the feels that go along with those. But I find myself operating from a well of peace within my heart, and I can only believe that it is because He has…
My Gram has this saying about specific moments of her life that I have a whole new appreciation for lately. To understand, I’d like to share with you one of my all-time favorite stories. When mg Gram was in her early twenties, she met a handsome, charming sailor with $45 in his pocket. They went…
Guys. You can just see all the bad influence written all over my face, can’t you? I’ll wreck your life and your marriage, you know, since I apparently get off on spiritual depravity, demonic influences, and divorce. Riiiiight. #sarcasm Apparently, this is stuff people ACTUALLY say about me. (and don’t give me crap about sarcasm…
39 stripes represent the 39 lashes Jesus most likely took. Historically and biblically, there doesn’t seem to be a direct answer to how many times Jesus was scourged. But what we do know is that, according to Deuteronomy, it was Jewish tradition for a criminal to receive no more than 40 lashes, so they’d typically…
So you, by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God. (Hosea 12:6 ESV) I’ve been reading through a bible study on Hosea and it’s proved to be exactly what I need (not even aside from the obvious). I picked the Hosea study because I…
Do you know what’s really shitty? Saying, “I’m sorry you feel that way” when you should just be saying, “I’m sorry.” I won’t even touch on the way or tone of voice used during an apology, because that’s a rant I’d have to go on in person, not on my blog. It just won’t make…
Lately I’ve committed more to meditating. I’ve put my focus on truth – truth from God’s Word and my own truth and plain old cold-hard-facts truth. Being a mindful creative, I asked my husband to paint one of the walls in my yoga space in our home with chalk paint, so I could write or…
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that…
In about 15 minutes, my littlest baby will take off on his first plane ride for a week long trip with his dad to visit family out-of-state. I feel like most moms would have a hard time with being separated from their babies for 7 whole days regardless, but there’s another layer to me that…
…and human hands can’t serve his needs – for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. (Acts 17:25 NIV) I’m just continuously amazed at this. We aren’t here for any other reason than He wanted us. We can offer Him nothing, because He has everything…
She’s been through more hell than you’ll ever know. But, that’s what gives her beauty an edge. You can’t touch a woman who can wear pain like the grandest of diamonds around her neck. | Alfa, Abandoned Breaths I was talking with my friend the other day about women like us – women who have…
I think one of the biggest things that Holy Yoga training has exposed in me, and probably the deepest area of growth the Lord is working in me right now and through this process in particular, is my inability to focus on the process and not the product. There are so many things I can…
