Surrender…this used to be such a painful word, a painful reminder that I felt when God whispered to me this word..I would realize that I am holding on too tight…fear that I would not be able to obey…to actually surrender….but now, in the eve before my final mediation with my husband in the brink of […]

Release.
This sweet, sweet word….release….echoes in my soul today….it is such a hard, but beautiful word. I love being a part of something big.

What does whole look like?
This is a very serious post, not just a reflection, but a cry for God to work miracles. A call to brothers and sisters in Christ to reflect with me and respond. I am going to be more transparent about what I have recently written about…I sense that this is the time and place. So […]

~Sweet Surrender~
This word has meant different things to me at different points in my life….right now, it means simply letting go. So much of me wants to hold on…hold onto routines, hold on to details, hold on to vision, hold on to things….I guess that is the “input” part of me…but I am seeking to let […]
