I’m a pretty big freak about Church. It’s kind of an odd passion of mine. Those closest to me will tell you that I will remain pretty mum on the subject in polite company so as to not frighten or alarm anyone with my level of intensity, but get me in a room with my … Continue reading Have A Little Faith
Lately I have been feeling dried up spiritually. Its been a hard few years in a lot of ways (its also been a great few years in a lot of ways) but the hardness has taken its toll on me, particularly when it comes to my spiritual life. I have tried all my fool proof … Continue reading Two Words
I’m only allowed to run for the next 2.5 weeks if I want any exercise. This is torture. I despise running. I particularly despise running in Florida where you breathe in as much water as your body is gushing out of you. But run I will because I believe strongly in being as healthy as I … Continue reading We Never Really Leave Middle School
My little neighborhood community is all up in arms right now. They are doing some serious re-zoning of the school district lines in our city and, as you can imagine because it is not uncommon in these scenarios, people are straight up mad. Specifically, my particular neighborhood is mad because our middle school is being … Continue reading Religion and Politics
I am a speed demon when it comes to walking…maybe driving too, but whatever. That’s not what this is about. I like to walk fast. I come from a long line of fast walkers. I credit it to my short legs in a world that values a long stride. When Greg and I first started … Continue reading Walk Humbly
Motherhood is a huge shame trigger for me. I know. It pains me to even type those words. Motherhood is a gift. And a treasure. And a life changing experience that should be valued and beloved. And for me, it is all of those things, most of the time. But sometimes, it’s my biggest shame … Continue reading Reagan V. The Shame Game
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day at the beach. It was the beach my family had vacationed at every year for decades, my second home. I was probably 12 or 13 years old and my dad and I were walking out of the water back towards the beach, … Continue reading Creatures From The Deep
I don’t write much about marriage. Mostly because with only (almost) 10 years of it under my belt, I still feel like a newbie when it comes to this sharing your life with someone else thing. And a little bit because I feel a tad bit of a failure at it most of the time. … Continue reading Maiwwage
My four year old son Levi has a great imagination. His trucks and trains and legos all come together to create a magical world of drama and excitement and play. And they all come together to create a huge mess. Every day. Without fail. And every night before the bedtime routine begins, he and I … Continue reading All Together Now
I think I am beginning to experience grace. Like real, honest to goodness grace. And it looks nothing like I thought it would and it feels nothing like I thought it would and so I don’t think I’ve been recognizing it, but I think this “something new” I’ve been feeling lately is what it is. … Continue reading A Journey to Grace
