Today I started my new job as a Program Director for a local nonprofit. It was fabulous. There are many aspects of this position I know I’m going to love including getting to train several non-profit Boards in volunteer management & volunteer recruitment. It’s amazingly up my alley. Thank. You. God. So. I guess Ima’ […]
I’m back y’all! I can’t wait to share more of what this little 6 week break has done for my tender bloggy heart, but I am definitely not going anywhere. For now, I’m guest posting over at my friend Micah’s blog, Redemption Pictures. Today, I’m sharing my own picture of redemption. More like a glimpse […]
One of the most challenging aspects of the last 8 months of life has been the drastic shift from a life in Ministry to a life in the “secular marketplace.” I’m writing my 1st ever article today for Prodigal Magazine on this very thing. I wanted to explore the idea of how often we lose […]

I started tagging along with the InterVarsity kids not because of Jesus or even […]
Let’s face it, y’all. It’s easier for us to believe that God is a pissed-off, hot-tempered, sandwich-board-wearing fire-bringer than a kind, compassionate, slow-to-anger, grace-bringer. This morning I was trolling through an old journal and I found an interesting entry I wrote this past February. At the time, I was attending a Spiritual Formation retreat with […]
