Ready to get really real with me, guys? Because it’s about to get real. Yesterday, after 31 weeks of pregnancy, and 15 weeks of respite from morning sickness, I had a resurgence. It was great… (not). But it kind of took me back. For as much as I joke about the misery that is constant…
You guys know Tetris? It’s a great classic game from the 80’s (a decade I only lay 4 months of claim to, but adore just the same). One of my favorite things to come out of the 80’s is easily Tetris – but also Prince, Poison, Molly Ringwald, John Cryer, and Weekend at Bernie’s. If…
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to power through all of life’s difficulties in your own strength. It’s okay to be weak. It’s okay to vulnerable. It’s okay to sad, soft, or *gasp* flawed. God’s power is not made perfect in your ability to be perfect or do it…
Yesterday was World Mental Health Day, and I took some time to reflect on my own journey with mental health and illness. On February 6 of this year, I finally surrendered to the fact that my mental health needed to be addressed in a different way. For years, I have managed my anxiety and bouts…
I saw this today on the Facebook page for the Unfundementalist. It brings up a devastating point I think is missed by many well-meaning individuals on my friends list, and I’m sure maybe your own: The public admonishment of Dr Christine Blasey Ford in an attempt to support Judge Brett Kavanaugh all over your (I…
I was 12. I didn’t even know what was happening to me. He was my boyfriend, and popular and experienced. I didn’t know how to say no, or that it was inappropriate or wrong, even though I didn’t like it and was embarrassed. It was four years before I even knew the words to describe…
Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says,…
Guys, it happened again. I woke up in the middle of the night to a notification from WordPress that my blog stats were booming out of no where. 62 hits on more than a dozen posts in an hour. Each one references cheating and divorce. Coincidentally, it follows, again, an announcement about teaching yoga at…
As Christians, we’re here to serve others, right? We live servant lives, we lead with servant leadership, and our love for others, when modeled after Christ’s, is sacrificial, yes? He said He didn’t come to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45) and it was because of God’s love for us that the Son was…
I’ve been trying this last week to really fill my life with voices of truth and encouragement, over things that seek only to entertain or inform. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve still indulged in some entertaining things – some favorite shows and podcasts, etc – but I’ve gotten lazy (re: lukewarm) about my more influential…
I’m shared this publicly on my personal Facebook because I have nothing to hide, and no shame in Christ, but so far, it either hasn’t reached its intended recipient,!94 they’ve opted to not take me up on my offer. In the event it’s just that it hasn’t been seen, I know my blogs been read…
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard: For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. About nine in the morning he went out and…
