I have started and scrapped at least three posts this week. Perhaps I am Stella, and I lost my writing groove. I have prayed for the words God wants me to share, and I have heard nothing but silence for days. Here I am, bumping up against another (self-imposed) deadline, and I’m ready to throw in the towel on this blog idea. I can’t do it, God. Pick someone else. You have… Continue reading Baggage

At some point between stressing out over Christmas gifts and today, I blinked and the first month of 2020 has blown by with the speed of a toddler with a double-shot Frappuccino. Like many of you, I suppose, I bid farewell to 2019 and embraced the arrival… Continue reading 2020 Hindsight: What Are You Looking At?
