A few weeks ago my neighbors 3 kids showed up on our front porch in a panic, “Have you seen our dog” they pleaded? I hadn’t. Their dad had let him out earlier that day to go to the bathroom and he never came back. The kids were so upset. They had only had Cinnamon […]
Sometimes Hospitality means having the humility to let others serve you. To let down your guard and comfort zone to let others in and to let them help you. Sometimes Hospitality means letting someone mess up and not do something perfect in the name of blessing you. Growing up our home was a place where […]
Those first three months… sometimes five months when you have a newborn. Those weeks following the death of a family member. The spinning of unsettledness in a new home.

I’ve told myself for months now… SELF, you’re NOT going to join the 31 day writing series this year.
