I’m struggling. Still. I know, I know – it’s normal. Apparently, after a miscarriage, it can take a long time for hormones to return to their usual levels where I am only semi-crazy instead of full on certifiable. Yesterday I was all out of whack. Like I couldn’t make sense of anything and I couldn’t
Peace in the Floopties
Louisiana was spectacular. The love rekindling – the crawfish healing – the steady heartbeat of the people I love most – it was plush and comfortable and restful. Kinda like a Pottery Barn bed looks: And even though I prayed – begged and begged God and myself – that it wouldn’t be heartbreaking to leave.
Roller Coaster of Epic Proportions
The past month has been a roller coaster of epic proportions. That’s why I’ve been MIA. First I was entirely too nauseated to write. I was pregnant. Very early but very pukey-fied. And then I was entirely too sad to write. And it all felt like too much to look at in formed letters on
Fun Friend Friday: Katy
Katy Lou is a sweet friend from college who is more like a sister than a friend. She and I rode the ride together…for better or worse…to Spain and back…experiencing things together that bind two people for life. Katy is steady and loyal and fantastically honest. She gets me and I get her. No explaining
…And it’s only noon?
Do you ever look down at the clock to find that it’s only noon? But surely not. Surely you could not be this beaten, bruised, and humbled by noon. And you think, “Would it be okay if we just hit reset and gave it another whirl? Surely I can do better than this. Surely.” Here’s
Meat Pie A La Lu
So, I’ve been declaring my good intentions for a while now. I say to people, “I’m going to start posting recipes on the blog because everyone [including me] is always looking for good ‘keepers’.” Today I’m actually going to post one! I remembered to take pics and everything! I know. You’re pumped, right? Because what
Mayhave Monday…minus the Mayhave
So, this is technically a Mayhave post, but it doesn’t start with MAY or MAY NOT have because, well, it just didn’t make sense today. See? No rules. Just truth. Does it ever occur to you in the middle of your cranky pants, self-wallowing that God has been faithfully running after you all along? I
Fun Friend Friday: April
Well, the beach was a flop. It was cold and cloudy. But we got out and Adelle had fun playing in the sand. Fortunately for all of us, we still get to hear from April today! April is new[er] friend of mine that I met at church. She is sassy and fun and I knew
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I’ve found myself numbing. Half-living. Looking for ways to escape my reality. Baby, I’ve been here before. I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor. And last night in grace I remembered what it looks like to live, live. To BE in life. To embrace the victories and losses. The joy and suffering. The
Fun Friend Friday: Lindsey
Lindsey is a soul sister – deep and true. She and I walked through a Bible Study together that changed us entirely…such things bind hearts together for eternity. That and the fact that she showed me what it looks like to be real AND love Jesus with your whole heart. There have been others but
