beholding beauty

I remember when my Dad turned 40 and my mom threw him an Over The Hill party. All the adults sprayed their hair grey or wore wigs, stuffed their clothes with padding to show they let go of their younger bodies, and dressed in mismatched, out of style clothes. Even though it was a joke, as I grew up, this backed up the image I had of turning 40: old, nobody wanted to turn 40 because it was all downhill from there, and women didn't want to state their age so they were forever 29. Sometime[...]

My mama’s legacy

I think it's hard to whittle down a person's legacy to one short blog post. Even a book. How do you summarize a person's life? Their story? Sufferings, journey, joys. You can't. My mom was unique - a free spirit, so very kind, and left a lasting impression of God's love on people. I could find her in any place by her laugh - it was loud and full.

a dwelling place

I'm not sure that anyone's 2020 went as planned; ours didn't. We were swept into the frenzy of COVID as we bounced between two locations for a year, all the while trying to figure out the next steps for our family. In early 2021, after much praying, wrestling, and seeking counsel, Ryan and I were unified that the Lord was leading us back to the Flower Mound area. The Lord was so kind and gave me several words and verses that I believed were confirming that he was going to give us a very spe[...]

sparrow: identifying my kingdom purpose

I've followed Rachel Joy's journey with Sparrow Collective for a few years, so when my friend, Kristen, who also works for Sparrow, told me about their Identity Course, I had to sign up! The course is a workshop to help you discover your God-given identity, giftings and purpose, and it came at the perfect time as lately I've really been seeking the Lord about all of those things. A lot that's happened in the past 6 years (getting married, losing my mom, two kids, going from working full-tim[...]
