Stop being busy
One of the saddest things I hear is when I ask people how life is and their response is, “busy.” “Busy” implies they are running from thing to thing, commitment to commitment, and not enjoying it. They always have that look on their face and that tone in their voice. That feeling like it’s just […]

Discovering the heart of a champion: A look into my PT journey
“She will develop arthritis at a young age.” “Let’s stay away from lifting weights. Your body just can’t handle it.” “You will never be a recreational runner again.” “If you don’t have this surgery, you will end up in a wheelchair in your 30s.” These are the things I heard over and over again throughout […]

The world needs your dream
That dream. You know the one. The one you are afraid to admit to anyone. The one you think is ridiculous or impossible. The one someone has minimized or ridiculed. The one you think you are unqualified for. The one you’ve tried before and failed at. The world needs THAT dream. We need you to […]

Abandoned and adopted. Twice.
The single greatest thing I have learned that radically changed my life is that I now have confidence in who I am as a child of God. Not as a servant of man. I didn’t learn that any faster than when I began to study the character of God, and remember His faithfulness. Our Heavenly Father does not break His promises. He never has and He never will. He does what He says He will do. Every single time. He is the same yesterday, today and forever

Legos and Shame
My life is really good. I have found that the more joy I experience, the harder Satan fights. He is louder than usual this week. He’s relentless. While God has done so much transformation in my heart in the last couple years, there’s still so much left to do. The shame runs deep. Most of my […]

“What is more? What does that mean, God?”
“God, I just want more of you.” I was standing in church on a Sunday night a few months ago when these words poured over my heart. It was the only prayer I could pray for weeks. It kept me awake at night. “What is more? What does that mean, God?” It went on for […]

No matter what.
About four months ago, I sat in a doctor’s office at Vanderbilt Eye Institute and heard some devastating news. After a few weeks of tests and scans and different opinions, my retina specialist walked in, pulled up a chair and gave me the monologue that I replayed in my head every day for the next […]

“Do you understand what I have done for you?” – Jesus
It’s Easter week, which means my heart is about to jump out of my chest. There are so many reasons why Easter is my favorite week of the year. If you know me well, you have heard about the Saturday night Easter invitation I very reluctantly accepted seven years ago. I had been deeply hurt […]
