RELATIONSHIPS
A value of serving and helping others, no matter the cost to yourself, runs deep in my family.
There are unique challenges and also joys in being intimately known by someone very different from you.
LIFESTYLE
Considering how to thoughtfully engage with the world in a way that honours my own spiritual and emotional health.
Helping me navigate this season of fall-winter. Sharing my list to hopefully inspire you to consider yours.
Embracing the joys summer has to offer, while balancing making plans and entrusting it all to God.
FAMILY
Seeing how the Holy Spirit can fill the gap between my reality and God’s promise of peace.
We are trying to re-normalize what was once normal: A play-based childhood free of screens.
Giving space for the hard moments in pregnancy, while also thankful for the ways God provided and protected us.
FAITH
The Bible offers principles of work and rest to help us manage ourselves and thrive. God's presence, promises, and provision can transform how we understand true deep soul rest.
I needed a simple way to sit in the presence of God so that I could bring before him whatever I was facing and hopefully experience the peace of God.
Even our spiritual heroes get sidelined by sin. When they have seemingly failed to live up to the standard of the Christian life that God has called them to, what do we do?

What I'm Reading This Summer
Long gone are the summer days of sitting on a beach for hours with my stack of fiction novels beside me, the lake water beckoning when the sun got too hot. Growing up I seemed to all about books, books, and books - and I know many of you were the same. But now my life is shifting, and what and how I'm reading is shifting too.
In the Shade of My Tree
Poverty hit me today. It was unexpected. It was jarring. It felt very out of place. As I was walking out the door to head to my local university to do work, I noticed something on my street. It was a South Asian family with a cart and a wagon and they were walking from door to door. It transported me to the streets in South Asia, where poverty confronts you and your forced to process it and do something.
To the Fatherless on Father's Day
Being fatherless on father's day, may be a time filled with grief and sadness. It may be a time of hope and thanksgiving. A chance to serve others. But whatever it's like for you, seek to spend time with your eternal Father, for he loves you deeply and meets you where you're at.
Why Unmet Desires are Good
Unmet desires (and the associated pain) force us into a place of deep surrender and humility before God. They remind us that our true hope is in Jesus and how he supplies all our needs in every moment. The growth and likeness of Christ that come when we learn how to surrender and to humble ourselves before God and others. That's growth God desires in us every day to make us more like him.
The perfect fall getaway to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.
