We cry and we struggle,we laugh and we celebrate.We have days that are dark,and days the sun stays up late. He wants to be in the midstof each and every part,yes, with us in the darkness,when burdens are on our heart. But He also wants to dance with us,in the sunshine after the rain,He wants

I hesitate at times to write things as if they’re from God but I hope you know I write them the way my heart believes He would speak to me and to you. Hey God, I don’t want to be disappointed in this crazy life. I want to love it, and I do, but I

We so often feel we are the only ones broken when, truly, the other side of the wall is broken too. Beautifully broken. Just like us.
I Want Long Lasting
There are so many things in this world calling out to us, things and places that can never fulfill us the way only He can. Here’s my prayer for you and for me today. Here’s to a day of finding the peace we search for, long for, and so desperately need. Hey God, it’s me.
