In my office at home, I have a sticky note that says, “Choose a weakness and write out your healing journey.” This was a prompt from an online writing course that I had taken a couple months ago. The thought behind it is that you can’t expect to reach the people reading your words if…
Honey & Salt
Life is made up of moments that are honey-sweet, and others that bite like salt in a wound. Both are important and both have beauty to be found within them. These are those moments. The ones that make you smile and the ones that make you grateful for what you’ve survived.
A Letter For The Hard Days
Dear Friend, I know what it feels like to be running a hundred miles a minute while craving just a moment of rest. It can be exhausting to simply pull yourself out of bed in the morning, let alone get dressed and head out the door into a world that seems to be getting more…
Let’s Feast
At the start of every new year, we are flooded with social media posts about the best goals and resolutions to set, and how we can maintain them once the first ten days are over. I, for one, have never been a fan of new year’s resolutions because they always seem to be centred around…
You Are Not A Blank Page
Do you know how scary a blank page can be? It stares back at you wide-eyed and waiting. A blank page is an endless opportunity for creation. You could draw on it, write on it, fold it, cut it, twist it, and the list goes on and on, with each option branching out into more…
Be Still (Part 2)
In part one of this two-part blog post, we saw how the Lord provided for the people of Israel and how King Hezekiah knew God’s character and trusted that He would come through for them. I love that part so much because it reminds me that when it feels like the world is falling apart…
Be Still (Part 1)
One of the hardest things for me to do is to stop and be still. My mind is constantly running through conversations, scenarios, and things that I need to do. Even my house is very rarely still. There’s always music or a show on in the background, animals running around, and just the general chaos…
Are We There Yet?
If you’ve ever watched any show or movie that’s centred around a family, there will inevitably be a road trip somewhere in the story. As the journey progresses and mishaps ensue, one of the children will undoubtedly say, “Are we there yet?” Maybe if you’ve ever travelled somewhere with small children, you’ve experienced this firsthand,…
Ravens and Storehouses
Every day as I go to work, I pray that God will sustain me throughout the day. That He will see the steps that I have taken and the planning that I have done, and He will be faithful to fill in the gaps. That He will step in to provide and preserve when I…
Surrender and Receive
Have you ever woken up in the morning and felt more tired than you were the night before? You hoped that you would enter the next day refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes your way. Instead, you feel your battery is careening towards 0%, and you have no idea how to slow it…
25 Lessons
I know that twenty-five years isn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things, but I’ve always loved celebrating milestone moments. I’m so thankful for everything that I’ve learned and experienced in these past years; I know that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without everything that happened in them. Here’s to…
