Permission
you are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously. stumbling upon this quote awhile back brought great illumination to a process i often get discouraged by. how blessed my soul becomes by the truth spoken in this thought! isn’t this permission the most comforting thing that we are all searching...
dear people who think they know me:
dear everyone who think you really know me: i do not know it ‘all’ by any stretch, but i do have some educated opinions about some things! yesterday there were a few different conversations that occurred throughout my day that bothered me. when i tried to give my opinion on things, i was either quickly...
writing myself whole
there has been an open tab on my computer now for over 9 months. it is an insightful podcast session that my husband Justin stumbled upon and passed my way, of which i had listened to the first 10 minutes months back when i first received this. Although what little of the chat i had...
love at the 11th hour
Have you ever had that ’11th hour’ experience? That moment where literally, JUST in the nick of time something pulls together for you when you thought all hope was lost? well, i’m finding myself that residing in this space. over and over and over. for years now. sometimes (and more often than not lately) i...
Absorbing the divine
absorbing the divine. infusion into the deepest of depths. into every cell, tissue, sinew and bone, pulsing through my veins. does this not sound like the most lovely marinade of all? to truly absorb God, making this the place where my heart flees to find refuge, away from myself and into the mighty covering and...
A warrior’s evening prayer
o tired and weary warrior on the battlefields of life sleep tonight in complete peace. you’ve been charging ahead often feeling guilty about taking breaks to relax, labeling yourself as lazy or slacking, undeserving of the utmost important part of life- REST!!!!!! learn the art of resting. learn to rest like a champion! memorize the...
self censorship
I’ve realized for quite some time now just how much stress i hold in my body. Take right now for example: even in a barely awake, fresh out of bed relaxed state, i feel myself tightly holding my stomach in, like I am preparing for some sort of battle! I believe I just truly just...
ashes and wings
the ‘right timing’ cannot be UNTIL the time it happens. the right time IS the right time of it’s unfolding. it cannot be anything else. this i am coming to an understanding in. the clock of the most divine is most certainly not my linear time frame of how I would have things mapped out,...

Ode to the soul
Ode to my soul I’m often so hard on you. Yet you show up again and again, showing unknown parts of myself to me softening even my own harshness surprising my depths with the level of continuing compassion you hold. inside of me is an angry shell oh soul even though all you long to...
evening reminder
you might often forget this, but make no mistake: I am FOR you! I think you are the most beautiful creature I have ever rested my eyes upon. you get caught up in the human way of thinking and perceiving…these are not my ways. when you believe i am there to reward you when you...
Soujourn prayer
my hope is in you who rules with love an iron scepter of grace unbreakable love for all humanity how can the soul know such mysteries? will more be revealed in time or will we be forced to wander blindfolded- the blind leading the blind guess after guess at what’s true, what’s right? how can...
