a place for your soul to breathe
May your weekend be filled with the kind of peace that comes from admitting you are on your own nerves but knowing you’re loved anyway. May you let the day be the day without trying to control it. And may you remember that the world will indeed keep spinning even without your help. What a remarkable relief. Enjoy your weekend, friends.
There isn’t one great thing you were made to do. There's one great God you were made to glorify. When you embrace the unique shape of your soul and live as the person you most fully are, art comes out. (Coming Nov. 2013)
My first book encourages tired women to let go of the try-hard life. Instead of trying to grab on to grace, what would it mean to let grace grab on to you?
Written especially for teen girls encouraging them to give up on perfect and instead trust the One who is.

I am glad that I am not the only one who says, ‘I am thinking to much that I am getting on my own nerves!’
Happy weekending!

Helping a loved one through some very challenging seas yesterday and reminding myself of these very things over and over. I am not in control and oh how much better life is when I live this out. “let the day be…” I love this!

I’m hoping to meet you tonight. Plans have fallen through so I didn’t make the dinner reservations in time, but I plan on being there to hear you speak tonight even if I’m by myself.
