In the world of therapy, we have the terms of “little t” traumas and “big T” traumas to help us work with clients to distinguish if we are working with something that most people would consider traumatic — the death of a parent, some kind abuse, etc. (theContinueContinue reading ““Bye-bye Trauma””

The Last 5 Years
I love how the new year cause us to pause and reflect. I think there is something so special in the palpable difference the last few days of December and first few days of January brings to our souls as we think of who we are, who we have become, and who we want toContinueContinue reading “The Last 5 Years”
All Things In Its Season
The other day I was reading through one of my summer books and I came across a verse from Psalm 1 that stood out to me unlike it ever has before. It was Psalm 1:3 (ESV) and it says “He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in itsContinueContinue reading “All Things In Its Season”
What’s it Take to Forgive
The other day I was joking with a friend about being the speaker at an event for church, well mostly joking. Honestly, I was serious enough that I started to think through what I would talk about if given the opportunity. And the Lord prodded my heart to think about what He has been teachingContinueContinue reading “What’s it Take to Forgive”
Authenticity and Praise
For those that know me, you may know that I highly value authenticity, almost to a fault. I value it in others and I strive for it within myself.

Jesus the Keeper of Peace
Some of my favorite times in life are when I can sit down with one of my closest friends and just dive deep into the things that Lord has put on our hearts. I have found so much comfort time and time again that I am not alone in the seasons I walk through. ThereContinueContinue reading “Jesus the Keeper of Peace”
Standing Firm
The Lord has really been working in my heart lately on what it means to stand firm in faith. It’s been a thread in a lot of seasons of my life but this time God has decided we needed to go deeper into what that means. And as hard as that has gotten over the lastContinueContinue reading “Standing Firm”
Lean Back in Trust
I don’t know about you, but for me at least, trust is such a hard thing. I tend to carry the scars of life and the wounds from past relationships like a shield around my heart. It gets in the way of every relationship I have and I’ve learned how to disguise it pretty well.ContinueContinue reading “Lean Back in Trust”
