I don’t know who needs to hear this…
…but you can ask for help finding joy, delight, and glimmers today, if they feel elusive.
God’s not too busy.
You’re not too much.

A lot of people say that they love our "Be a Biblical Woman" merch, but they don't know the stories of all the women we name.
So here they are! Learn about Jael, Tamar, Priscilla, Zipporah, Tryphena, Lydia, and more of the women who aren't as well known.

Today feels like breaking down slowly but also the beginning of new life. I don’t know where I stand, but I know God is here with me in this space too.

“Asking questions as a believer can feel like a faux pas at best and damning at worst.
Depending on who you talk to, certainty can be tantamount to strong faith. It indicates arrival. Approval. Like the passing of a test.”

3 reasons we don’t extend grace:
- It hasn’t been extended much to us. Sometimes we don’t know what it looks like. But we still have it in our control to break the cycle.

As people of faith, we live in a liminal space, a kingdom that is often described as “already…but not yet.”
During Advent, we celebrate the “already.” And we lament the “not yet.”
The kingdom is here.
Lord, let your kingdom come.

Someone posted on Threads that Christians shouldn’t see Wicked because it glorifies evil.
Actually—the point is that Elphaba is called wicked by people who want to stay in control. What’s popular is compromise and corruption. But to stand for your convictions and be set apart is courageous.

It’s okay not to shop Black Friday to save money or time or energy, to just enjoy the holiday or avoid consumerism.
It’s also okay to shop Black Friday to get gifts for the holidays or save on stuff you usually get or even to get yourself a little treat because it’s been a hard year.
You do you.

It’s nearly winter and my dream of hibernation would include a big stack of books, the fluffiest pillow and fuzzy blanket, and an automatically refilling hot water dispenser.

Resist the urge to say, “that’s not God” in the glimmers. ✨
God is just as much in play in the small details, the coincidences, the things that make you smile or laugh, the perfect timing, and the small hope as he is in the mountain-top moments and miracles. (James 1:17)

Songs living rent-free in my head these days:
Hard-Fought Hallelujah by Brandon Lake
Defying Gravity by Cynthia Ervo (or Idina Menzel, I can’t let that one go either)

So excited the Advent season is drawing near.
The good news of Advent is not that we are faithful in our waiting (we often aren't) but that God is faithful in his coming.

I used to think resilience was steely, but I’m learning that the truest resilience is strength + softness.

I absolutely insist on this:
One of the best things you can do is cultivate silence and stillness with the Lord within yourself. A silence and stillness you can practice anywhere. A calm security you bring with you everywhere you go.

It’s no coincidence that Jesus’s primary metaphors for ministry were not soldiers, hunters, or builders,
But shepherds, farmers, and fisherman.
The humility. The unpredictability. The chaos. The waiting. None of it means we failed.
This is just what faithfulness looks like.

Sending out a feeler for my people:
If you see anything Wicked related and immediately feel compelled to stop and scream-sing “SO IF YOU CARE TO FIND ME, LOOK TO THE WESTERN SKYYY,” we should be friends.
Also loving the idea of defying gravity always, but especially these days.

It’s the season in the Pacific Northwest where sunshine startles you in the best way. The colors are brighter, and the light and shadows add dimension to what can feel so flat under gray skies.
May you be startled by sunshine in the best way today, whether actual sunshine or just pure joy.
