March and Me

Psalm 27: 13-14 

"I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."

March and me.

I spent this March clinging to Jesus in a season where my questions have far outnumbered any answers and my longings have gone unfulfilled. 

Waiting. Longing. Clinging. 

The kind of season where your heart hurts, feeling the desperateness of doubt surrounding the question, "But what if He does not come through?"

"What if He does not really know the desires of my heart? And what if He does not want to fulfill them?"

The kind of season where you begin to wonder if instead of "being all in" it would have been safer to have just dipped one foot in and then slowly lowered yourself into the water.

A time where it hurts to follow. 

A time where the costs are all too real. 

A time to wait on the Lord. 

Chicago Love Letters

Chicago, sometimes you are so beautiful it makes my heart hurt. 

To beautiful moments in the midst of typical days that remind us that nothing about our lives is typical and everything is created by He who allows us to create within the life He has provided as He creates within us. 

Gripped with Wonder and Awe

"Everyone was gripped with great wonder and awe. And they praised God, saying over and over again, 'We have seen amazing things today." Luke 5:26

To endings, beginnings and longings. 

To trusting that He uses what we bring to the table and makes it greater than we could possibly ever imagine. 

To believing that the creative desires He places within each jar of clay are there for His glory and our joy. 

May this beginning allow a peak into a life gripped with wonder and awe at the one who turns water into wine all the while inviting us to come to His table.
