Reckless Love

Reckless Love

This song has been on repeat in my mind for weeks now. I think itโ€™s because the words resonate so deeply with me. I grew up in an environment that focused more on the judgment of God rather than His extravagant love for me. I had this image of God in my mind of Him [...]

Ready, (re)Set, Go!

This morning at the breakfast table, my 7 year old asked each of us what we wanted to work on in the New Year. I asked her where she got such a concept from, and she said that they talked about it in her class before Winter Break. (She's in 1st grade by the way.) [...]

My mind's first stop was always, "Is this real?" and if it was able to move past its [...]
