when your progress feels invisible
Sourdough is a process. I can’t quite remember what day I started. All I remember is that it was a quiet, unassuming Tuesday. The leaves were yellowing on the branches, and I’d thrown open all the curtains in our home to let in as much of the dwindling fall light as possible.
my favourite construction sign
For the past three years in a row I’ve had to take detours to work during the summer, as the routes I habitually used were taken over by construction. And while I generally don’t love the signs that announce construction, there is one sign that has become somewhat of a dear friend, a good reminder.
longing for another world
Take heart, friend. This isn't the end of your story. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. A new day will dawn, and God will show up with fresh mercy sufficient for each moment. He will hold your hand as you continue to trek towards home, clambering over rocky mountains and trudging through deep, muddy valleys. He will sit with you in your grief, binding up your gaping wounds with love that is too great for words. He will carry you when you feel like you just can't go on, ever closer to the Home you long for.

It is well with my soul
I stumbled across Ann Voskamp's multivitamins a couple of weeks ago, which inspired me to share my own version. If you've never heard of it before, I highly recommend it. Essentially, Voskamp shares a collection of articles, photos, posts, and recipes designed to remind readers of the good gifts God has given and shift one's perspective from the earthly to the heavenly. God has provided tangible experiences of His love and faithfulness, and I wanted to share some of the things that are ministering to my soul.
