life lately

Two days ago I was driving up our mountain and listening to a song. I was worshipping and singing along with it when I just felt the Spirit gently fall and I just responded with, “yea.” I knew that I had been praying and listening to Bible studies and being in a mindful spirit daily, but I hadn’t sat at the feet of my Father in all of the busyness of life. I don’t think I ever realized how much time flies until our community group started a book study and we had to read a certain amount every week. I would be shocked at how fast I fell behind and how much we were supposed to have read. Has it really been 4 weeks since I’ve ready anything? (About to get real)...

you're just like your mother

you're just like your mother

There are so many things I’ve thought about being or doing with my life. I often find myself saying, “I could totally do that.” I think I get that from my mom.

After it finally broke, it still took a few days to feel better. The next day it was warm outside, and the earth was glad. All of the blooms welled with excitement. Spring was coming. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful break in the gloomy weather that had been lingering. Many people could be seen out walking, running, and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.

my heart

my heart

In the recent weeks, there have been things weighing in a little more heavily on my heart. I have felt my spirit yearn for preparation. For what, I still do not know. But I can feel it. Deep within me continues to long for something more. Something my soul was created for. I have been anticipating time to sit down. To type. To get words and thoughts out of my head. To get moving. To start. To do something...
