Journey to Rest (Week 3)
On my Journey to Rest, my absolute biggest struggle has been simply letting go. Letting go long enough to REST. The day I read this quote by Corrie ten Boom, the Holy Spirit reminded me of something. The more tightly I hold on to the things that consume my time & energy, the less I…
Journey to Rest ::A Pause::
When I started Bonnie Gray’s book Finding Spiritual Whitespace, I had no clue where my journey would lead me, or what God would speak to my heart. I did know however, that I wanted to make a blog series out of this book, and share my Journey to Rest with you. My first post told…
Journey to Rest (Week 2)
We often say, “Hindsight is 20/20”, yet do we ever take the time to denounce the false messages we’ve embraced for years? Or do we merely forge ahead without going any deeper, afraid of what might come to the surface? On my journey to rest, Jesus is uncovering some falsehoods I’ve had about myself and…

When You Feel Like Throwing In The Towel
Ever have days, when life is beyond overwhelming? When there’s too many tasks & people needing you “right now” and the most important things in your life seem to be suffocating beneath the towel you’re contemplating throwing in!? Parenting is HARD; step-parenting is harder, and sometimes I honestly feel like throwing in the towel &…
Waiting for Help
As I walk this journey of rest (obedience), I find myself, for the first time, learning to ask for help. I say learning, because I’ve always been one to set a goal, work at it and accomplish it, alone. My career is one where I am the sole admin in an office of engineers, machinists…
(in)courage: Where Hearts Build Community
As many of you know, I am the proud Step Mama to an amazing six year old little boy. What you may not know, is the difficulties I face as a Step Mama. The challenges, the frustration and the pain associated with this role are ones I don’t often discuss, because when taken out of…
