Are you longing for more? Hungering for purpose? Dissatisfied with a life without meaning? Believe it or not, we are actually called to be in anguish for this world. If you are longing… feeling discontented and like there has to be MORE… feeling anguished for the state of the world… even feeling lost and searching… …
Happy New Year, and welcome to 2021! I am seeing, like I’m sure most of us are, tons of “Good riddance 2020” posts, and lots of sentiment about 2021 having the easy job of simply being at least a little bit “better” than 2020. While I understand these sentiments to some extent–for one thing, I …
I’ve written a lot about heaven recently. The Bible tells us that believers are “born from above,” and that we’re a lot more related to Heaven than we often think we are. It’s easiest to look around and see what’s right in front of us rather than seeing Truth beyond that; the Truth that “our …

This post was originally published to the C3KW blog. I highly recommend heading over there for more encouragement, conviction, and devotionals! One of my quarantine routines has been going on two walks per day: one on my own, for some alone time with Jesus, and one with my husband, Johnny (one of our quarantine date …
“Don’t Australia it.” This is where my beautiful friend, Kristann, and I ended our hour-long, and about 5-hours-too-short, conversation in a Starbucks on my lunch break today. This girl, who is literally a straight up RAY of golden sunshine and beams Jesus Christ in her smile and her kindness, met me giddily today, jumping up …
Good Monday! I’m so excited to be linking up with #LMMLinkUp for Literacy Musing Monday with Mary-andering Creatively. And I’m talking about identity. Because, whether we realize it or not, we daily give our identity into the hands of someone or something. A few short months ago, I had a scary realization that I was …
