kate and courage

I opened up my iPhone case long enough to read the little message Kate Spade sends to all her customers.

It made me so grateful to know it's not up to me to muster up the courage needed to conquer it all. It's been conquered, it's been done. And true courage, I'm finding is letting go of me long enough to let God truly take control. That's what Christ did, so I will too today.

small

I took a moment today to glance up at the clouds. Their speed made my hustled life slow down and their majesty sparked the reminder of just how small I am. Thankful for unexpected quiet moments.

26

As I reflect on a new age and a birthday that is far closer to 30 than it is to 20, I am tickled by the beauty I have witnessed, the miracles of life and transformation I get to take part in daily, and the humbling refinement Jesus can do on a heart like mine in a year. As I draw near to the refreshment of simplicity, Jesus, to me, can be summed up with 3 words in the 25 of years past...                           he was there.

quiet space

I crave quiet and am learning how important the space is to rest my soul.

my morning chai

 In the hope of living a life that daily reflects my maker, I wanted to create a space where I could write, share and create as a means of worship. When the morning is quiet and the day is at its utmost potential there's nothing better to top it off than a warm and spiced chai tea. Mornings seem to last a bit longer, devotions seem to be digested a bit deeper and the living word begins its work to break and reconstruct my bruised and busied heart. So as I move to daily sit and soak in God's presence I invite you to join my morning chai.
