25.01.2022 Will you allow yourself to believe this? God absolutely, unequivocally, loves you. But He also *enjoys* you. He likes the way He made you. He likes the things that make you laugh, and the things you're really good at. He likes the areas that feel weak to you, because they are places He can meet you in a unique way. He likes the way you see the world a little differently than anyone else. You are a small piece of Him, a reflection of His character and intent, and He just straight up enjoys seeing that lived out.

10.01.2022 God is never, ever waiting for you to get anything "together" or "under control" or "fixed" before coming to Him. He wants to be with you IN it, in the mess and the difficulty, in the confusion and the heartache. He is your source of power, wisdom, guidance, and peacelet Him be with you in the midst of whatever you're going through!

06.01.2022 "...I once read that it takes great pain and great love to open us up to the presence of the Sacred | this is a time of great pain | and if, in this time, we can hold on to great love | love of God | and love of others | then we can make it through..." ~ Dancing Faith

01.01.2022 Real talk: many of us have been the one bleeding...and many of us have been the one holding the knife. ...Vulnerability is hard, friends! But, as C.S. Lewis [Aslan] says, "Take courage, dear heart."
