Dealing with anxiety constantly; that was my life for about 8 or 9 years.   I still recall the runs I would think about all the things I had to do when I got home from a run.  I felt almost paralyzed by the anxiety over it.  I can still remember all the moments of...Read More »

Young children.  I love them.  They always have such wide eyed wonder, such curiosity, such a sweet dependence on the Lord that I need more of; yet they are also impressionable.  They also will listen to you and often believe a lot of what they hear without filtering it.  They need discernment.  They need teaching....Read More »

I thought this would be a fun way to start the New Year.  Single and thriving?  For a while last year I wondered if those two words could really go together when I had this STRONG, almost suffocating desire for marriage in my heart.  But you see, it was all out of balance.  My heart...Read More »

Gut healing is such a trendy word.  And this year I kind of got sucked into all the parts of it including the diet culture that weaves itself in and out of gut healing.  Now I’m not talking about gut issues like Crohn’s, IBS, IBD, or any other bowel diseases, but I’m talking about having...Read More »

Holiday eating should not be terrifying, but why are we sometimes scared of what the holidays will ‘do’ to our routine or our ‘bodies?’  I have to ask myself, ‘Do I trust God with my body or do I feel like I ‘have to control’ everything because I’m not putting my full trust, leaning on...Read More »

I love each holiday that’s coming up this season.  I used to dread them, but now they are one of my favorite times of the year.  I love Thanksgiving, all the pumpkin, the pecan, the turkey, green beans, stuffing (if it’s a really good recipe), delicious dinner roll.  I love Christmas.  I love the reminder...Read More »

Have you ever had that excited feeling when you know something good is around the corner but you haven’t seen it yet?   I’m getting this year especially after a hard year of battle and victory.  After this podcast with Taylor, that feeling came back strong. It’s not just a feeling;  I have SEEN God...Read More »

I love to run. I love food. Fueling for running has been one of the most difficult parts of recovery/healing my relationship with food, but this past marathon taught me that God has brought me a LONG way.  I love to eat, but no longer do I run to eat donuts or ice cream or...Read More »

Finding full body and food freedom is a journey.  It’s not instantaneous.  It’s also hard in a diet culture that we swim in today, but it’s not impossible.   It’s not automatic or easy, but it’s worth it.  And often it can take what seems like a long time, but I am so encouraged to...Read More »
