Wednesday Word: NYE Reading Roundup and Reflections
•
Happy New Year’s Eve! It’s hard to believe that we are closing the door on 2025, but maybe like some of you, I find myself sighing with some relief. It was a tough year. I started off filled with optimism, and found myself crashing and burning instead. Things did not…

If you follow me on any of my social medias, you’ll be aware in some fashion that I have been part of a collective book project for two years, and we are FINALLY approaching the finish line of publication! If you don’t follow me, you’re going to read about it…

Wednesday Word: Expect in a New Direction
•
Has anyone else felt like 2025 has pulled no punches whatsoever? Back on New Years, I greeted this year with the belief that this was The Year. Things were going to go right. I was poised in a rising position of church leadership, the collaborative book I’ve been a part…

Wednesday Word: Not All Who Wander Are Lost
•
I had a cathartic moment one night this week. Just in case you’re unfamiliar with the word “catharsis”, it means “the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.” The short of my backstory is that 2025 has not gone the way I hoped it would or even…

Wednesday Word: A Day Late and a Dollar Short
•
That’s me. I feel like I stumble through life, arriving to the moment, the realization, the conclusion, always a little later than everyone else. I’m a day late posting this weekly blog once again, which makes me disappointed in myself, but God always has a lesson for me to learn…

Wednesday Word: Never Doubt
•
In my photo memories today came an image I had saved from Facebook two years ago: I have found this is easy to do. In the light, it’s easy to see things clearly for what they are. In the dark of night, shadows muddy and change perceptions. It becomes hard…

Wednesday Word: Death Doesn’t Win
•
This was today’s daily verse in my Bible app today: Isaiah 25:8 NIV: “He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; He will remove His people’s disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.” This week, my family unexpectedly lost…
