Here’s My Story: Part Eight (Last Part)

Truth
I’d be lying if I said I was thrilled about where I’m at. I’d be lying if I said I absolutely loved this adventure. I’d be lying if i said I love trusting God one step at a time. And I’d be lying if I said im not terrified.

Here’s My Story: part two

Extended Heartache
So here I am being as vulnerable as I possibly know how to be, and still so unsure why God has convicted me so strongly to risk again. To let others in. To depend on others. To let others love me for all of me. None of it made sense…but I was still doing [...]

Here’s My Story: Part One

To Love and to Risk
In the past few months, you have seen my extreme highs turn into extreme lows. You have watched as I’ve walked through some of the darkest times of my life. You’ve waited patiently as I have taken numerous sabbaticals from my blog. I know you’ve wondered, worried, and wished you knew [...]
