The Best Days of My Life
Sometimes letting my heart breathe in the quiet just consists of getting out of my normal spot. For me, sometimes that means the beach. This week, we went on a family outing that was just what we needed.
What have you done this weekend to give your heart room to breathe?

I realize I’ve been trained to do this. And only recently did I figure this out. Twenty years ago when I was in the tenth grade, my dad the youth worker, as a result of his own personal spiritual journey, began a series of unconventional youth retreats based around the spiritual disciplines. They were for [...]
I submitted a blog post about a year ago to a website that I love reading. I was a friend of the editor and she’d asked me to write something. “Absolutely.” I told her. “I’d be honored to contribute.” I wrote what I thought was a really great article. I spent much longer on it [...]

This is the most impactful post for me so far in your series. I love outdoor spaces, and finding new places to meet with my Creator. It inspires me, and gives my heart room to breathe. Such an inspiring phrase. I know when I begin to feel anxious over my work and my training and my many hats, I need to get out in the wide open spaces, and give God room to reach me. He never lets me down. Thank you for sharing your heart in your blog, and for not giving up. Your thoughts inspire me daily, and I share them often with friends!
Be still…
