UNNECESSARY THINGS
Life has a way of removing the things we once believed we could not live without.
THE COLOR OF OPPOSITES
The same color that signals danger is the color that keeps us alive.
TRACING TUMORS
The fastest way to lose what you have is to fixate on what you’ve left behind.
SURRENDERED MOMENTS
When life gets reduced like this, I start to wonder: have I misunderstood what accomplishment really is?
NO EVIDENCE
What troubled me was not the absence of evidence.
It was how quickly I handed it authority it never claimed.
THE REWIRE
The unknown is not something to brace against but a place you expect to be changed by.
FOLDING IN [The Care of Ordinary Days]
We can throw away the moments , or we can fold what we are given into the day we are living.
THE BURDEN OF THE TREE
Reflections on the burden of tradition, the longing for a Savior, and releasing what we were never meant to carry.
THE INCONGRUITY OF OURSELVES [From Saying to Becoming]
When the words we repeat shape the bodies we live in.
SHOWING UP
Showing up is not what earns love; it’s what lets you recognize it’s already here.
THE BIOLOGY OF LIVING OUT LOUD
The spoken word isn’t just one moment in time. It is energy set free.
THE ART OF HOLDING BACK
Healing is less a declaration and more a dialogue. It asks for participation, not control.
The Ultimate Healer [preSCRIPTURES for Life]
I have wrestled with this decision since the moment it needed to be made.
Chemotherapy. Not the kitten.
