Wilderness Season

Carried by the current and currency of Love.

I’ve been allowing myself to venture off into literary land. Libraries and bookstores have felt oddly soothing to me lately. But I remind myself not to take my usual route off the escapist exit, and continue to endure my life until something that looks remotely like what I believed I signed up for begins to take shape...

Is depletion a sign of completion, or the antithesis? A very real and constant dilemma for the ‘Recovering Perfectionist’ in me. I’m unsubscribing to hustle culture and learning to lean into and trust the pace of grace…

I was gonna clickbait y’all with the title Dating While Married… but that still didn’t quite hit on the complex simplicity of this topic…

Never say what you’re not? Just when I had almost given up on getting abs in this lifetime and getting carried away with sweets again… a free gym membership offer helped me see the light lol

For us girls who took sweatpants, hair tied chillin’ with no makeup on… to the extreme lol

When crazy faith starts to feel a lot more crazy than faith

Now we sip lattes, and unpack our birthday trauma... together.

Praying and doing all the things, but still hurting?

That awkward moment when you see yourself in your child and have to call your parents to apologize...

This is gonna be so amazing when it's all said and done... I feel like I should just embrace the blessing of being able to be a little bit carefree today...

Again, I’m not sure if I’m winning or losing… or if losing is actually winning in this case? I’m getting excited and discouraged in the same sentence.

How God's love has transformed me to overcome some of my biggest fears and anxieties, silence mom guilt and raise a new standard where self love is not selfish, and splurging on myself is normalized.

I have no words to describe this first month of being in LA. There’s been ups and downs… the best language that could come close to defining it, is the real life equivalent of ‘burpees’

The attack is daily, the attack is even "friendly"... People who care about you and want "the best" for you but...

Sometimes people shutting you out and not being there for you, and not showing up for you is helping you, helping you more than you realize ’cause sometimes it’s showing you what type of people you got around you. Sometimes it’s showing you how strong you actually are.

It’s the way God shows up in the most subtle of details. Then you realize, your Father in Heaven highkey planned you a whole movie night before you were even born. lol

I got approved for a place before I left. Now, I applied having no income. This is kinda funny… I applied with $0 as inc- first of all… I don’t even know how to word that because it’s just so crazy but essentially I got approved for a place with…

I need to get creative about dating myself… I had to take the kids with me last night to Book Club which turned out to be pretty okay for them to tag along with me. I’m not sure how soon I’ll get to have a solo outing, being as though I know no one here…

I’m going with the flow so much that it’s starting to freak me out and makes me question if I should’ve ever stayed here in the first place.
