The Break

Not so many nights ago, I laid awake talking to God with no filter. I was tired. Emotionally exhausted from trying to hold my ship together. I won’t go into all the details, but Little Miss Fix It was about to break. It wasn’t really the stress of all the challenges, but the being inContinue reading “The Break”

Champagne and Sweatpants

Well, Well Water friends, life is lifeing hard right now. Anyone else just going THROUGH it lately? I feel like I am under attack and start feeling sorry for myself. Then I come up long enough to check on some of you and suddenly I feel that my burdens are light! Heavy waves seem toContinue reading “Champagne and Sweatpants”

The Hook

Growing up, fishing was a family affair. We aren’t good at it, we never catch anything worth eating or mounting, and we didn’t have a boat to get us to the quiet part of the lake. Fishing for us had a lot less to do with actual fish than it did spending time being disconnectedContinue reading “The Hook”

Trusting Blind

Confession: I drive too fast. I’m the only daughter of a mechanic who claims he missed his calling as both a preacher and a race car driver. Maybe some things just run in my blood.

MyContinue reading “Surrender: Part 2”

Worth It

Today is full-body day. There is snow melting outside my window and a two-inch layer of ice covering the walkway from my building to the gym, and everything in me wants to turn back over and sleep until it is time to go to church. But, I am traveling for work this week and makingContinue reading “Worth It”

Spiritual Gifts

I have been writing since I was in first or second grade. I remember the first short story I ever wrote. It was summer and, having read every book in the house a few times at this point, I complained to my mother that I was bored. She handed me a spiral notebook and aContinue reading “Spiritual Gifts”
