Today marks 9 years since my sweet friend Amy met Jesus.  I wrote last year about losing 2 of my best friends, a significant part of my story (click here to read). Grief is tough to navigate, no matter what you’re grieving. It might not be death, but it is loss of something.  No timeline…

Happy Friday! Anybody been WAITing for the weekend?  Maybe you’ve had the best week ever (or not, a la E!’s former Best Week Ever) but either way there’s something about making it to Friday at 5pm and the collective weekend exhale.  A couple of days with a different agenda, maybe full of family activities, football…

I’m attending an Educational Leadership conference this week and today our speaker posted this quote during his presentation….  It caught me for a few minutes, so I started lettering and thinking about nothing related to the conference (OF COURSE I was still listening), but how many times have I WAITed for some other conditions and…

In a world of connected technology, a little red circle with a number on it is always an excuse to check our phones…we have a notification, it needs immediate response. Someone has maybe “liked” something we have posted or maybe they have called, texted or emailed. When I was in High School the equivalent would…

I know it’s only 4 days into the #Write31days challenge, but I don’t want to neglect the things I want to remember, so Sunday will be a catch-up “WAIT, what’s been going on?” in the midst of 31 days of writing about WAIT. (Click here) to catch up on the WAIT posts. I feel like…

About 4.5 years ago I heard of a new church starting in Houston.  At the time I was attending and very involved in one of Houston’s “mega churches”. I was teaching Bible Study, had a calendar full of events and activities to attend, abundance of church friends I saw often and was honestly a little…

If ever there was a word I’m told over and over again, it is “WAIT”. I’ve blogged about this word before (click here) and I’m am continually learning in the WAIT. So, it’s time again for the #write31days challenge, and this year I’m taking it on with one word, WAIT. Last year I wrote 31 days…
