That stuff you're afraid to talk about...the sin you think is too messy? We unpack that here...

Through good and bad, sadness and joy, my heart lies with showing the goodness of God in all seasons. Especially the messy ones.

Pain.

There is purpose behind the

Beauty

There is                  in the chaos,

Mess,

there is meaning in the

Every day society tells us that life has to be perfect and orderly to be beautiful. Our day-to-day should be a nothing less than perfect. We need a flawless aesthetic, a five year plan and perfectly curated social media. There's nothing glamorous about disorder and uncertainty. It's not "normal" to struggle. 

But God wants to use those ugly parts, too. Those broken memories, those hidden struggles, and those less than beautiful moments. 

God wants to use the ugly stuff, too...

I am still here. Trying to come up with something to write. It’s insane. I can’t get the idea of writing out of my head, but I just can’t seem to grasp something fascinating enough to actually sit and put on paper (or the computer considering that’s where I do all of my writing) It’s […]

It’s about that time again. It usually happens to me once every 4 or 5 weeks…sometimes more often than that. I can’t help it. I don’t really know how to stop it. When it starts up, it seems to be the only thing that occupies my mind. I try to suppress it because I don’t […]
