refresh reality
earlier this month, I was trying to write, and I published a post focused on and played with the re-create-, the create and recreate, creation and recreation, how I mirror and reflect the creativity of the creator in how I create and recreate, how I honor the work of God through my play, and howContinue reading “refresh reality”
voice
I’m working on developing my voice. I think I’ve gone a long time as a peacekeeper rather than a peacemaker, and I’m learning to see and hear a difference there. a peacekeeper will not speak up or speak out, in order to keep the peace; a peacemaker will speak truth and clarity into a situation,Continue reading “voice”

-re-create-
redo, recreate, replace, remake, revise, realign – bring it back to where it’s supposed to be.which is where, exactly? why do all the words make it sound like I need to strip it all away to come out the other side? all I have seems to be empty – fear, exhaustion, loneliness – broken, heavy,Continue reading “-re-create-“

The Making of Biblical Womanhood
I read The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr I think one of the things I’m called to is to examine and explore where I’ve been silent or still in the past. I am grateful for my Christian education (homeschool through 12th grade + 8 years of higher education), and I know IContinue reading “The Making of Biblical Womanhood”
Losing Myself Brought Me Here
I read a really fantastic, new to me, poet this month. She’s got a few collections I want to check out. “I was not lost or found. I was a bit in the middle. I was afraid to find out too much about myself but I did not want to be misplaced either.” “I rememberContinue reading “Losing Myself Brought Me Here”
Prayer in the Night
Tish’s first book, The Liturgy of the Ordinary, is one of my all time favorites, and this is one now, too. such a good and thorough and thoughtful look at grief, heaviness, sorrow, fear, pain, anguish — and hope, joy, peace, not despite those other things, but because of and in the midst of them.Continue reading “Prayer in the Night”
Written In My Own Heart’s Blood
I finished my re-read of the main 8 books. waiting for #gotellthebeesthatiamgone and debating re-reading the Lord John novellas… #WrittenInMyOwnHeartsBlood is probably my favorite. the depth and width and breadth of the redemption, courage, forgiveness, grace, love, growth — 😭 As a redhead this made me laugh far more that it probably should have:“I didn’tContinue reading “Written In My Own Heart’s Blood”
