Wild

January 5, 2025

My word for 2025: W I L D. I sense an untethering happening within me. I don’t have many strengths, but a daily practice for me is to analyze my thoughts quickly and consistently through the grid of God’s Word. Perhaps it’s the unsavory love of self I possess or the vexing independence that I constantly fight, but I enjoy examining my heart and planning steps to better myself. I love a good plan. This was not in the plan. The word “wild” is in the back of my head every day right now. When I say “wild,” there...

September and the Sovereignty of God

September 30, 2019

Author’s note: Eleven days after I got married in 2012, my mom was diagnosed with Stage IV squamous cell carcinoma, anal cancer. This is an extremely rare cancer, very aggressive and very deadly. And we have no idea how she got it (aka how she could have prevented it), because research says that 90% of cases are caused by HPV, which is not applicable to my mom. Farrah Fawcett had been diagnosed earlier with the same thing, and we read with sinking hearts about her expansive, expensive treatments that did nothing against the disease. It was a death sentence....
