In this time, I have felt that even more deeply. These days feel dreary for a lot of people; waves of uncertainty and anxiety roll in thick like the morning fog. And someday it is hard to muster up the strength to look for the sunshine or to even want to let hope take root. Yet the beautiful thing is that we aren’t alone in this time, we still have the power to connect and reach out to others. We are not alone, for love always shows up. We can come together and be hope for those who are desperate for any sign of spring. We can still find ways to be love to others even from afar. And that is why I decided to make it my goal to write 100 letters in the month of April- because love always finds a way to show up for others. This month for me that looks like writing handwritten notes and providing some extra encouragement to those who I love or even those who I don’t know.

Love Triumphs Fear
Fear will tell you to retreat. To hide in the shadows. To focus on your inadequacies. Love on the other hand is empowering and encouraging.

The dust stirs all around. Waiting to settle, but unable to because of all the commotion and chaos that pull and tugs within my heart. Some of it is intentional, the busyness, the running around the lack of rest within my schedule. The constant searching for something more. It is all to no avail, for… Continue reading Dig Deeper

Letting Go
Standing on the edge of a field of flowers, their was a young girl who stood holding in each hand a glass cage that was filled to the brim with colorful butterflies. They are heavy, yet her grip remains tight for she is overwhelmed with excitement and love for them. Yet eventually she grows weary,… Continue reading Letting Go
Embracing uncertainty
In the vast blue sea, there was a small sailboat, nestled inside of a plastic cup. It had just enough water to keep it afloat, and it was light enough to flow with the currents. It was happy, despite seeing everything through a lens and not having copious amounts of space to move to and… Continue reading Embracing uncertainty
Grace Abounds
God’s grace finds us in the moments when we least expect it. The moments when we find ourselves fragile and broken and the ones where we feel on top of the world. It finds us in the dark nights and through every sunrise. Today I’m grateful for that grace, and the protection of God’s love… Continue reading Grace Abounds
