Is this the most instagrammable photo? No. Does it Is this the most instagrammable photo? No. Does it capture the essence of life lately? Yes. 
I told you all last summer I'd rather be lonely. And I wasn't lying. If the options are "friends" with ugly hearts or loneliness, I'd choose loneliness every single time. Sadly, that wasn't true for most of my life. I let myself get steamrolled, judged, emotionally annihilated and worse for the sake of belonging. But an experience I had at the end of 2024 changed that in me for good. That experience was also the reason I opened my Bible for the first time in a long time. 
Opening my Bible that day didn't just transform me. It transformed my life in more ways than I can artfully say in a caption.
Purpose. Clarity. Restoration. Connection. COMMUNITY.
Those are just a handful of things opening my Bible again brought to my life in a short time. 
This picture, though? Why am I on the ground? Because I collapsed in laughter. One friend joined me in laughter on the ground. Another captured the moment of girlhood. 
I didn't know this sense of inherent belonging wa in my future when I was at my emotional lowest at the start of 2025. 
But man, am I so glad God broke my heart taking what wasn't right from my life so he could make room for what is.

All up in my #writer feels!! So grateful to anyone All up in my #writer feels!! So grateful to anyone who ever supports what I love to do the most. I'm always shocked. Truly SHOCKED when someone shares how much they loved something I wrote. It's all I've ever wanted to do: to write: to make people FEEL: to help people feel less alone. 😭😭😭 #bookstagram #writercommunity

GLIMPSE OF REAL LIFE 👀 This is not an uncommon vi GLIMPSE OF REAL LIFE 👀
This is not an uncommon view around these parts. If I wait for life to slow down, I'll be waiting forever. Instead, it's about figuring out where pieces can fit -- even if it's the smallest block of time. 
We have the time. The question is: how do we use it?
