Goals – Apprentice 2 Jesus

Rage and emotion

So many “words” for this year that I see people post on social media. Just. One. Word. I need much more help than that. The deep need of my life calls for deep work. Words that came to me yesterday: “Rage on the page. Keep tears near your heart.” This is what I will workContinue reading “Rage and emotion”

The year ahead

For the first time in years I stayed up to make sure 2020 was really leaving the building. It was a moral victory if nothing else. The new year always marks a new year for me because it’s my birthday.

2 places where my voice will be raised

There are a couple of areas becoming clear where I will do a bit more writing and start back in podcasting for 2020. I will continue to lend my voice, small as it is, to supporting women in ministry.
