I was just talking to God.  Just having a conversation about every day life and decisions.  I’ve been having these a lot lately.  I’ve made a lot of life changing decisions in the past few months, and I’ve had such peace as I’ve made each one.  I used to think that I could make the wrong decision.  I was usually freaked out, and because of that I sometimes made decisions...

Tomorrow is my birthday.  All today God has been speaking to me about His goodness and how this is going to be a year where His goodness on my life and my awareness of it is going to be increased exponentially.  I’m totally okay with that. I couldn’t sleep, and felt like I was just supposed to let God speak to me about this next year, and when I was searching for my file that I put...

I’m so tired right now, but it’s just one of those nights that I have to write.  It’s been a good day and a good weekend, so I just wanted to share some of the goodness of God. There’s this way that I love to prophesy and declare the goodness of God over my good friends.  I like to ask them questions like “Did you know that you are going to see nations saved in a...

When I was little my parents signed me up to play sports.  I’m sure I wanted to, and it was nothing they forced me into, but I remember playing both soccer and softball.  I’m not sure how much of it I actually played though as all my memories  were of picking little white flowers that would grow in the fields.  Sure I would run around with the mob of tiny soccer players, but mostly...

.out of the ❤ the mouth speaks.
This blog is about to get really real. I don’t want to expose myself, and I want to have grace for myself, but tonight I needed to be raw. I’ve been thinking a lot about the heart lately.  I’m reading a book right now that gives the advice that when we are loving and leading people, it’s important that we are making sure that their hearts are healthy, so they are...

Reflect
I’m wrapping up my time here in Redding and finding myself rather emotional. I’ve learned so much here. I’ve grown so much here. My hope has been restored, and I’ve learned how to keep it alive. And that doesn’t mean that everything has been perfect or is fully redeemed. There are still things unfinished in my own life and in my family. And i have learned that...

The other day I was thinking about words and what they mean, and where God and creativity fit into that {pretty much just nerding out} and I started to think about the word missionary.  Since I was a little girl, I have wanted to be a missionary.  When I was super young I would write letters to them and read their stories.  My parents were constantly surrounding me with their missionary friends,...

I had a dream last night.  I was in a foreign country and I was trying to take pictures of all of these beautiful people and landscapes.  But the lens on my camera was not working and causing my trigger to freak out and freeze up, and everything was changing right before I was able to capture some of the most beautiful shots I had ever seen.  I began to get frustrated, and quickly lost my peace...

goals vs. stewardship= both win?
In my last blog, I talked about goals, and how setting goals wasn’t working for me in that season.  I wanted to make it clear that I don’t think goals are bad.  I think that they are amazing, and have the potential to help people find a way to walk into their dreams. I also think that in another season, setting goals & planning might totally work for me. As I was being coached,...

transition
A few months ago I had one of the most marvelous days. It was the kind of day where everything begins to make sense, and everything you’ve been thinking and feeling for the past season begins to come together. I’m not one to be first to be discontent with where I’m at. I’ve learned through life to enjoy where I am and to try to make the most of it even when it’s...
