Day 12 of Advent: Trusting What We Cannot See
Faith is a curious thing. It asks us to trust in something beyond what our eyes can see, beyond what our minds can fully grasp. It calls us to believe in a story still unfolding, in a purpose we can’t always trace, and in a God who is present, ...
Day 11 of Advent 2024: Kindness that Actually Matters
I was recently talking to a friend who explained that every single night on her calendar from now until the end of the year was booked. Every. Single. Night.
That. Is. Busy.
Honestly, when I was her age, my calendar looked exactly the ...
Day 10 of Advent 2024: Living the Dream
Recently, about a week before I was set to fly out of the country, I had a few back-to-back meetings in the evening. By then, I’d long lost my “luster” for the day and was honestly counting down the hours before I could finally crawl into ...
Day 9 of Advent 2024: Delightful and Permanent vs Temporary
What makes you happy?
Getting a promotion at work? Nailing a big project? Scoring the best sale of the holiday shopping season?

Day 8 of Advent 2024: Who Gets to Define You?

Day 6 of Advent 2024: Thwarting the Danger of the Spotlight
Maybe you are their Rudolph...
Rudolph could have stayed in the spotlight.
He had earned his place, hadn’t he? After years of rejection and mockery, he was leading Santa’s sleigh, the hero of Christmas Eve, with the world finally seeing ...
Day 5 of Advent 2024: What kind of nurse are you?
Rudolph had every reason to nurse a grudge.
The teasing and rejection weren’t just minor slights—they were relentless. His bright red nose, his gift, became the thing that made him the target of mockery and exclusion. The other reindeer made ...
Day 4 of Advent 2024: Seen and Being Seen
Do you remember your first crush?
You liked them soooooo much, yet it remained to be seen if you were actually “seen.”
That’s a difficult space to live in.
Waiting to be seen.
Not just waiting to be physically noticed or seen in ...
Day 3 of Advent 2024: Where’s your wilderness?
What if the wilderness you are wandering is one of the mind?
As you probably know, I am fresh off a trip to Iceland. It was a “bucket list” kind of thing. Tom and I were going to plan it ourselves, but in trying to do so I quickly realized, ...
Day 2 of Advent 2024: Finding Hope in Rejection
Haven’t we all been there?
Misunderstood.
Rejected.

We are faced with that uncomfortable junction . . . discerning whether we lean in strongly ...
