It’s Not What I Want…
I have a confession… I lied. Not to you guys, specifically, but I need to air out my correction more publicly. Last week while my mom and I were cleaning a house, the client and his wife were talking to us and he was telling me of this vision he had for unmarried people in…

Thoughts From The Peninsula
Yesterday was a rough day emotionally. It was full of relational bridging and life-or-death decisions (I don’t want to revisit that right now, but it wasn’t me or any of my loved ones, in case anyone gets concerned). Yesterday was full of connection with good friends and love from overbearing dogs who missed their Auntie…

The Practice of Slowing
One of the things the Lord has been teaching me this year is the importance of Sabbath in my life. My Sabbaths usually consist of turning off my phone, putting it in the downstairs bedroom Friday night after church, making banana bread every other week (when I have the ripe bananas from a client-friend), going…

“Go Hard.”
Over the last two weeks, I’ve had a culmination of all my inner frustrations and disappointments hit me and cause such an intense blockage in my soul that it was what my pastor likes to call “a crisis of character.” And boy howdy, it was that. When I start to daydream about running away from…

Do I Surrender All?
Happy New Year!The Lord has prevented me from posting until now, and I’m only posting this for my own posterity and not really for anyone else’s. As is usually the case with the turn of a calendar year, I began with some goals in mind. Achievable, but not so easy that I would have them…

What Is Surrender?
Last week, the Lord stopped me as I was wandering around aimlessly in my house and asked me a simple question: “What are you so afraid of?” And I knew what He meant, because I’ve been ignoring the Lord on this particular subject for at least 3 months. “What is that subject, Erica?” Funny you…
