You know those times when you just have to obey even though it doesn't seem to make sense? Well this is one of those! On New Year's Day I was chatting to God and received some encouragement that I felt completely sure was just for me. It was beautiful and personal, and I treasured it in both my... Continue Reading →
This morning I was talking to God about the struggles of this season. I know that in Christ I am acceptable, loved, pure in His sight. I know He has called me to rest in His love, and I love doing that. And yet still there is part of me that is restless, wanting to know what He... Continue Reading →
For the past few days I have been trying to publish a post about my current season. The writing has been going well, but I'm not sure if it is meant to be posted here or published in my next book - so I'm holding off until I know for certain. Meanwhile God gave me a simple... Continue Reading →
the clouds are clearing I was chatting with God this morning - pouring out my heart to Him, and asking him what was on His - and He spoke some words that were very similar to those He spoke the other day. I wasn't sure whether or not to release them here, but felt He... Continue Reading →

Yes, I'm still here! I'm not posting very often, because in this season I still feel I have more questions than answers, but I do still really feel God's heart of encouragement towards those who are doing their best to cling to Him in the midst of confusion, so I post when I can. This... Continue Reading →
This post is a kind of follow-on to yesterday's post, although it wasn't obvious to me at first. I was praying this morning and thanking God again for the picture he gave me earlier this week, of me putting my hand in His, to go wherever He would lead. It was a simple but powerful...

I was chatting with a dear friend yesterday and saying how I feel I don't have much to say right now, because it's been such a difficult, 'don't know much' kind of season. I do know God is real, He is good, and His Word is true... but not much else. And yet as we... Continue Reading →
