Dear God Letters
God, I can do this better than you.
God, 30 days. In 30 days I head out on my adventure with Soul Hope. Exciting, huh? Um. I guess. I am sure that is how I am supposed to feel. How do you feel? I feel like I am fighting fear. Fear of what? Fear of death. What? You know you could die at any point in any day, right? I do. But there ...
Dear God, How do I explain makeup?
God, Avery comes in as I am putting on make-up and every time she asks me “why?” What do you say? The first time I ALMOST said because it makes you pretty. But thankfully I stopped! Why? That is not what I want her to hear or think. I don’t want her to think that make-up is what makes her ...
Dear God, I feel like a slacker.
God, Well I have done it. I have gone and messed up. Don’t you hate that? You see I released my e-devotional a few weeks ago in an effort to raise funds for my trip to Africa with Soul Hope. They are funds that I honestly need to raise. Well, I don’t need to tell you that you see my bank ...

Un-burying the Dream
God, I am wondering what happened to me? What do you mean? I can hardly see myself or I should say the self I enjoy seeing. Go on. I have lost the brave, bold, daring, try anything me. I have lost the me that was confident enough to send 15 publishers proposal out into the world and play the ...
Advent/Christmas, Dear God Letters
Dear God, I think I might be too old?
Dear God, I read Mary’s words and hope beyond hope that I am as open, attentive, and as willing as she was. She was so young and sometimes I wonder if age has jaded me…has it made me think too much about the risks you want me to leap into rather than tip toe into? I hold onto ...
God, do you get sad?
God, Do you ever get sad? Or saddened? Daily. Constantly. Watching My children hurt, watching them hurt each other, and watching them hurt themselves is saddening. What do you do about it? Why? Why are you asking? Because I have just been in a sad place myself. It is not a familiar place for ...
