As I sit here this morning, drinking my coffee and preparing my grocery shopping list, I notice the bright red, white, and blue colors on the flyers, shouting out the big, flashy sales for the Fourth of July celebrations and picnics, the store owners anticipate people having.

Lately I feel like a wandering stranger in a foreign land. I look around and everything seems drastically different. Tears flood my eyes and fears flood my heart. This part is only the beginning. How do I let go and move forward? This is the question I ask the Lord daily these days. My flesh…
This has been a season of transition in many ways. Transition in family, in ministry, in my body, and just in life in general. God has called me away to be still for awhile. This can be difficult for a girl who loves people and is a pursuer. It is also difficult as a woman…
