Well. The day has finally come. Goodbye nasty, peely white cabinets. Goodbye fake floor. Goodbye tiny pantry. Goodbye formica counter tops. And hello to living off of take out food for the next 4 days/2 weeks!

Look into the sun as the new days rise

For at least this past year, I've been wanting to try and put into words the beginning of a dream and how that dream became a reality. I'm not the best writer and I know that shouldn't matter but I always let it get in the way of me writing anything. The other struggle for me is that I have a lot of input in my life and not a lot of output. I love gathering information, thoughts, pictures, stories of purpose. But the thing is this, they're starting to get all muddled and I'm forgetting what their purpose was in the first place. And I really don't want to forget. I don't want to forget what my and my husband's dream was and how suddenly we've found ourselves doing a little bit of what we were made to do. So with this written piece of transition, this blog will take on a different purpose.  Our house now is serving as a space for sabbaticals and rest for people involved in the never-ending work of the Gospel. These are people who have been sent out b...

Day 32: Cartography/ For the Ones Looking for Meaning

As Oscar Wilde said, go be yourself, everybody else is already taken. I truly am the only person who sees what I see, who feels what I feel, who can take in an experience and come away with an entirely different perspective than someone else in that same experience.  Where the healing and redemption happens is when someone else reaches out the...

The Suffering Grace of Nick Cave

  For awhile now I've been reading Nick Cave's  Red Hand Files . When I came across them, (thanks to one of my favorite podcasts The Mockingcast . You can gain some backstory about Nick Cave around the 51 minute mark) I was sort of blown away by his humble yet to the point, very gracious responses to questions his fans write in. Some of the questions are funny. Like, "Who do you want to win Love Island?" Nick Cave watches Love Island??? And some are desperate yet common. "What is the point in life?" The latest question a fan asks had me reading in wonder. The audacity! How could someone be so close-minded? Selfish! Controlling! How is Nick Cave going to answer this guy? The question reads like this: "I recently learned that there is a sitting Supreme Court Justice, here in the United States, who is a fan of a musician I love. This musician has passed.  The Justice, in my opinion, is dangerous to this country, and holds views I abhor. I firmly believe, t...
