While it was about a specific thing/event we’d talked about, I can’t help but have it ring in my ears tonight as I’m reminded: God’s timing is not a coincidence. It’s perfectly planned. Facebook memories are always a hit/miss, depending on how old… Read More They give me worth
I’m stuck. Stuck is obviously not a place you or I want to be, but I can’t help but think about how appropriate timing my realization of my stuck-ness is.

(#sorrynotsorry) He just radiates Jesus’ love and joy to everyone he… Read More a beautiful reaction.

FMF on a Friday, y’all. Who would’ve thunk?!? I was incapacitated basically from 7am to 11pm last night. It was lonnnng. But good. And ended with a 3 hour musical event, so I can’t say it wasn’t a fun day. Today’s word: It took me a while to get an idea, but this… Read More Five minute Friday {news}
