To the one in a season of uncertainty… Imagine you walk into the center of a roundabout; you know that little patch of grass that basks in the sun while the world continues to move around it. You are panicked, head on a swivel as you desperately try to discern which road leading away from your current destination is the one meant for you, the one that will lead you to your purpose and help you accomplish all those dreams and plans you have for your life. But without clear

I had a WHOLE post written up about the importance of developing a rhythm of rest within out lives but delayed posting it because once again I found myself ill. Yet, I find God had purpose even in the waiting - as He usually does. See, on Sunday my husband and I attended our little Oklahoma church and the message was on the Christmas story - something I have heard hundreds of times over the years - particularly focusing on Mary and Joseph.

Last Friday my husband and I climbed into our loaded vehicles and made the 7.5-hour drive to our new home: Fredericksburg Virginia. We drove through the flat roads of Ohio, cruised across bridges and boarders, winded through the mountains, and finally sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic before crossing the finish line to our home.

It is Saturday, the sun is shining and Bodi and I are hanging out at the house. Micah left in the wee hours of the morning for work and will not return until dark. The whole day is ahead of us, full of empty time waiting to be embraced. What to do... what to do.... I miss Micah, I await his return with eagerness, but the hours will tick by wasted if I simply sit by the door and stare at the clock. There is work to be done. There are things to accomplish in the waiting. I hav
