It's been awhile since I used this space to share life. It is not for lack of things to share, quite the opposite actually. The last time I posted, back in February, was a few days before I got to walk through a beautiful house that I fell in love with and later put an… Continue reading It’s been a while…

Lifter of My Head
"But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head." Psalm 3:3 "I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people. ... I broke the yoke of slavery from your neck so you can walk with your heads held high." Leviticus… Continue reading Lifter of My Head
Yes, Please!
One of the books I recently finished was Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. I think it might have been a better fit in a different season of life, but I still enjoyed her spunky spirit, honesty, and vulnerability that came across so well in the audio-book version I listened too. While I finished… Continue reading Yes, Please!
Redefining Productivity
On Tuesday I got to have dinner with a dear friend. We always love any time we can get together; this time felt extra special as she prepares to move to another city soon. As we cooked together, ate our meal, and then grabbed some blankets and headed toward the living room, life poured out… Continue reading Redefining Productivity
What I’ve Noticed Recently About Mental Health
For as long as I can remember God has given me great compassion for those who deal with mental illness. These brave warriors get up every day and fight battles that those around them may know nothing about. I’ve always hated the stigma around mental illness for many reasons but most of all, because it… Continue reading What I’ve Noticed Recently About Mental Health
Poured Out – A Reflection on Mark
As I get back into normal routines this fall that were obliterated during the summer, blogging is one thing I hope I can create space for in my schedule. As I sat down to "get back in it" I found myself skimming through various drafts of blog posts that never made it to the 'publish'… Continue reading Poured Out – A Reflection on Mark
Exhausted Yet Pursuing…
It's no secret that my summer schedule was a little crazy. (I mentioned a few of the big things in a post last week so we won't belabor it.) As I "re-entered" to "real life" the last couple weeks (and keep moving into the start of a new ministry year), a phrase from a Bible… Continue reading Exhausted Yet Pursuing…
Defragmenting My Soul
A week or so ago I posted on social media about how I felt like God was "defragmenting my soul" like someone might defragmenting a computer harddrive. Caveat: I'm depending on my memory from a middle school science project to explain what defragmenting is so hopefully I'm somewhere close to making this understandable: Defragmenting is… Continue reading Defragmenting My Soul
CONSTRUCTION ZONE!!!
So there’s a common joke around here about how Buffalo only has two seasons: Winter ... and Construction. It feels especially true this year. Everywhere I turn another road is closed, a bridge is being worked on, or it goes down to one lane. It’s constantly changing in some spots and in others it’s just… Continue reading CONSTRUCTION ZONE!!!
Not Even THAT!
Romans 8:35-39 is one of my very favorite sections of God’s Word. “Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? … No, despite all these things, overwhelming… Continue reading Not Even THAT!
