The Best Days of My Life
My girls. It seems as if they are growing even as I look across the breakfast table at them. Their bones stretch and they seem to get taller and taller every time they emerge from their room with rubbing-eyes and hair that’s been knotted overnight by their pillows. They are stretching and growing and moving [...]

I’m learning that God is good all the time. I’m learning that God is good even in a desert. I’m learning that the power of waiting on him and learning what that actually means. I’m learning about God is true even when I don’t see Him or feel Him. My understanding of it doesn’t change [...]

For the days when there is nothing to say except, “Make sure you stir the brownie batter just the right amount,” For the days when your wisdom has flown and all that you really want to do is curl up with your Instagram feed, For the days when you can’t type one more word for [...]

There is nothing more life-giving than when someone truly believes in you. Not the clichéd slap-on-the-back “I believe in you.” No, not that. It’s the I-got-your-back, you-can-do-this, I’m-amazed-by-you super-fan that only your closest people have the power to be to you. I can sit across the out-to-breakfast table with a friend and say, “Girl, you [...]

This post is one of several you will see around the internet in coming months about a unique gathering of believers in Austin, TX this September called The Idea Camp. I’ll be there. I’d love for you to join me. I’ll be honest I feel so inadequate. I’m no Chris Marlow, and I’m no Lindsey [...]

I’m up on Deeper Church today. Wanna come visit? This is Revival Revival was the thing whispered when I sat in pews as little girl. When we prayed for God to return to the land, to our schools, to the US of A {as if he’d abandoned us already} we asked for revival. Revival was the [...]

“Mama, don’t you want to be with me?” I kissed her still-babyish cheek and fixed the pillows behind her head. “Of course I want to be with you, but Mommy and Daddy need some time by ourselves for a few days.” She began to cry. “If you wanted to be with me you wouldn’t go [...]

I’m up on (in)courage today with a confession. I’d love for you to join me over there. Confessions of a Secret Perfectionist I’ve never been a “house” perfectionist, so to speak. I usually have piles of mail on my counters and a dish full of to-be-washed dishes. But I’ve been a eating and fitness perfectionist. I’m [...]

I had a rough start to my week: Our car got broken into on Monday and we found out some distressing news in another area of life. Mondays basically suck. And as I was crying at my kitchen table on Monday afternoon, I thought about the importance of the women in my life who love [...]

Mondays don’t always have to be difficult so let’s start this week right! First of all, be on the look out for a wrap-up post from me about our (in)RL gathering on Saturday. It was better than I ever hoped it could have been! But today, I am proud to be able to give to ONE [...]

If I could tell you all things I’ve been struggling with over the last two years, the list would be long and hard and scattered. To sum it up, I’ve been waiting. Waiting for the right idea, waiting for the right time, waiting for my life to calm down, waiting on God, waiting for a [...]
I think God made us finite for a reason. I only have so many words per day to give, I’m finding. I’m writing on a longer project right now and I find when I come to this place, I stare and sit and stare some more at the cursor. What is right and good to [...]
“I thought you had thicker skin than that, Sarah.” His voice over the telephone about killed me. I leaned my forehead on my arm on the dining room table on Monday afternoon. I wanted to cry. I’d written something and wanted my husband to vet it for theological accuracy. So I emailed it to him. [...]
