  • Finding My Way

    Finding My Way

    As I’ve slowly found my way back to writing, I keep realizing that the quiet of this season wasn’t just about grief, it was about forgiveness. The kind that has to be chosen again and again, sometimes without apology, without reconciliation, and without anyone ever fully acknowledging the damage that was done. Forgiveness is often Read more

  • I’m Still Here

    I’m Still Here

    It has been some time since I last shared here, and I want to acknowledge that, without rushing past it or dressing it up.

Jesus Himself modeled this. He could have carried Read more
