I appreciate you trudging along each day, holding on for the light at the end of the tunnel. I appreciate you trying. I appreciate youContinue reading ““My thoughts aren’t coming together and everything feels dramatic””

Leave it unfinished
Hi friend, Thanks for being along for the ride. I thought of a lot of things to call this post: “Bawling to a happy song” “Still waiting”“Someday””Resurrection day” And honestly, if I keep thinking about it, I’ll come up with more. But anyway, I’m going to leave this one unfinished. Whatever it looks like whenContinue reading “Leave it unfinished”
Never utility, always love
I said I would share the story with you at another time. Now is that time. The retreat I went on this fall was my first silent retreat since graduating high school, and I wasn’t sure what to expect from God. I had made up my mind that I would go to the conferences becauseContinue reading “Never utility, always love”
Grasshoppers
I’m pretty sure I’m the only person on the planet who loves grasshoppers (that might be dramatic, but I don’t actually know anyone else who likes them). Most people think of destruction, dirt, and just plain “ick” when they think of grasshoppers. I think they look weird and adorable. Do those two things even goContinue reading “Grasshoppers”
New Year’s resolution
I think this is the first year that I don’t have a set, “this is my new year’s resolution.” Maybe it’s the reality setting in that I lack follow-through, or maybe it’s just an acceptance of who I am and where I’m at in life. There’s a lot of things I could add to aContinue reading “New Year’s resolution”
Personal favorites
I did something today that I’ve never done before: I read (part-way) through this year’s journal. Here are some of my favorite quotes from this year. They’re not much, but if something sparks consideration— TITP (take it to prayer). 😉 2/19/2025– Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. My spiritual director gave me that quote.Continue reading “Personal favorites”
“When you fall, I fall too.”
This last year, as I’ve looked upon crucifixes, I’ve repeatedly been taken aback by His bloody knees, and one particular day, His knees were really affecting me. So I leaned into it. I let myself experience the way I was feeling, and then I asked, “Why, Lord? Why are your knees doing this to me?”Continue reading ““When you fall, I fall too.””
A little update
A prayer
Lord, I don’t see how this brings you glory, especially when we were praying for a miracle. We asked in faith. We believed it could be… and You said no. How can no— how can death be the answer to our prayers? How does this bring you more glory than healing? Lord, I do notContinue reading “A prayer”
The songs of my heart
Music feels like the gateway to my spiritual life. “With nothing else to hold onto, I raise these empty hands to you…” “I’ll build a boat so let it rain…” These songs are so different, and yet they speak similarly in my life. “Broken Hallelujah” is a sadder song about feeling like having nothing toContinue reading “The songs of my heart”
