Through His Strength, For His Glory

Five Minute Friday – Collect

Five minutes of writing. GO Collect. I have too much stuff. Like, way too much stuff. I would tell you it is because I need it . I would tell you I collect things. Bibles, history, pretty things. The reality is that I collect stuff to make me feel safe and secure. When will it be enough is the actual question. Every day, because I live in a small town, I look for a package of some sort. Small, medium, or large, a card, a note, a box, something to open and make me feel like I have gotten ... read more

Trust – Acted Out

My word of the year is trust. God and I have been fleshing out what that means through prayer, experience, and His word. This past weekend, He made it abundantly clear why He chose that word for me and how I was supposed to understand it. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5 I went on a special retreat that is centered around service to others, loving others, ... read more

Reflections on Beauty

As their images were flashing across my mind, I realized none of them were ... read more

Words from the heart

Words often flow easily for me, often faster than my fingers can type them. Whether they are words of encouragement, explanation, or insight, I have rarely had trouble expressing myself through writing. For the last several years, words have been my way to process both the good and not so good that come with living life. As I type now, the words are not flowing, they are hard to find, and harder still to put together. I want my words to convey the depth of emotion that I feel. I want my words ... read more

Facebook Friendships

Late tonight, Bailey and I will board a plane headed to Dallas, Texas. Tomorrow will bring joy, laughter, and a multitude of pictures as we celebtate the launch of our friend Anna's first book. This is remarkable for a number of reasons. First, two years ago, I had only just begun to get to know these people over, of all things, Facebook. Even now the telling of it sounds entirely crazy. But, God. This group of women have changed me. We have changed each other. We have loved, encouraged, ... read more
