Sooooo, here's the honest truth: I lived many years in a repetitive cycle of crying, fasting, praying – more crying, more fasting, more praying. All for my circumstances to change. For people to be something they weren’t. For me to be someone I wasn’t. And for all the messy things in my life to fit into a neatly ordered box 📦 . . But, in doing this I was avoiding the reality of my circumstances – covering it all up with verses and organized prayer. Because as much as I wanted to believe it would all get better….my life was deeply fractured and broken 💔 . . Eventually, life pulled my head out of the sand and forced me to look at reality. A lot had to change. Here's the story of what saved me (and my sanity). Hugs.

They show up in your inbox, messages or sit across the table at get togethers. The thing is, not one of them wears your skin every day. Not ONE. ✌️ . . So, instead of giving them the power to say who you are or who you get to be, choose to love the skin you're in. Choose to follow your inner voice and trust that God made you (including your thoughts, questions and beautiful mind) perfectly ✨ . . There is such joy and freedom in letting go of the nay sayers and embracing every unique, authentic, special "thing" about you. (Even if others don't agree) You are free to be that crazy, quirky, loving YOU ❤ . . So, take a deep breath. Those of us on the outside like who you are. We like every different, cool, unique thing about you. So, keep that heart of yours wide open and remember there is a big world out there - much bigger than your inbox 😉 photo credit @lewishowes . . #bebravebeyou #bestillandknow #allarewelcome #ilikeme #blogger #podcasts #podcaster #progressivechristianity #lovewell #lovewins #freetobeyou Hello 2019 👋 This is me. Sitting in my favorite spot, with my favorite blanket and my favorite honey latte. This is my happy place. I don't usually make a habit of new year's resolutions - but after the hell of a year 2018 was, I'm making an exception. This year, I'm vowing to make laughter a priority. And so far, I've laughed more than I have in the last 20 years combined 🙌 . . I'm choosing love over fear. I'm choosing to pursue what I really, really want (instead of what others say I should have 😉). I'm deciding to embrace my silly, adventurous self and really get to like her. I'm choosing to listen to my inner, small quiet voice and decide that she's worth paying attention to. . . I'm choosing to surround myself and my family with joy, acceptance, grace and honesty. Most importantly, I'm letting go of perfect pictures and embracing what is. And equally deciding that what is, is better than what I thought would have been perfect ❤ . . And in this new year, I expect many changes, but I hereby declare they will all be GOOD 💪 . . #newyearresolutions #newyearnewyou #blogger #podcaster #girlmom #momofgirls #bebravebeyou #bestillandknow #christianblogger #progressivechristianity #allarewelcome #lovewins #divorcedmom This is my super hero Noa. This girl brings a powerful punch, tucked inside the sweetest package. She may be the youngest of our crew, but she is certainly not the quietest 😉 She loves coffee. She is a walking musical. And has an imagination that story books are made of. Noa reminds all of us to laugh, be silly and explore life with open eyes and wild adventure. Happy 4th birthday to the girl who tells me every day that she is my Prince charming 👑 I love you Noa Grace!!! . . #momofgirls #girlmom #happybirthdaynoa #noagrace #sheismysuperhero My brother and I have so many memories of playing in the snow - building forts, snow ball fights, snow angels and building snow men (and being really bummed out when mom didn't have a carrot...😒) . . It was so fun to re-live some of those memories today. I can't remember the last time we had snow like this to play in- and although hesitant at first, my girls became sledding pros in no time 😉 . . For all of you who remember fun snow days, what are some of your favorite memories?? . . #snowdays #sledding #girlmom #momofgirls #blogger #podcaster #podcasts #christianblogger #faithjourney #spiritualjourney #spirituality Our winter wonderland today...❄ . . #podcasts #blogger #snowglobe #snowday #winterwonderland #spiritualjourney #spirituality
