Being in a season of waiting isn’t new to me, but recently, I’ve found myself in a different kind of waiting. In September of 2025 (not even a year ago), I started my cancer journey. That’s what I’m calling it. Because while I had a full thyroidectomy in December to remove the papillary and follicular […]
Faith When Life Feels Slow
There are seasons of life that feel like they’re moving slower than expected. I’ve often felt stuck, but I realize now that it wasn’t being stuck. It wasn’t stillness. It was slow, a slowness that I didn’t imagine. I had an idea in my head of how things will go, where I’ll be, what I’ll […]
