Your Purpose Today
Last month everyone was talking about new goals and ideas to live a better life in 2019. New ways of eating, more water drinking, less clutter, and more focus. There’s something in us that longs for more of this and less of that. We want to know that what we do matters and makes a difference. So we embrace change and try really hard to do things differently. Better. We look for a bigger purpose, a clearer view of the future, and a redefined idea of what life should look like.

Before midnight hit, unexpected circumstances marched in loud and strong to a beat I never anticipated. There beneath the weight of heartache, I watched the clock cross over into the next day and already on the second day of the year I was behind on my plans. My planner all marked with permanent ink was a mess of undone meetings and unmet
Hope When Life is Heavy
I entered the therapist office hoping for relief, help, and insight into all the struggles we were dealing with at home. Though the appointment was for my foster son, part of me wanted to kick my feet up on the edge of couch, recline, and breathe out all the things I was going through. Life is heavy.
