May you find somewhere restful and fun this weekend, to have a swim, nap, or laugh. Grace and peace to you. @ Victoria Harbour Marina instagram.com/p/CPJsDd5Jiq_/…

"By nature, we are allergic to grace," Scotty Smith said to me. "We've grown up in a world of scorecards, thermometers, charts, and trophies. We work hard to win, but so often we lose at love." - from Searching for Grace. linktr.ee/searchingforgr…

In the end, gentleness wins.

That one is mine! We sweated it out at fourth grade honors day in the Georgia heat. Completely worth it to tell her I was proud of her and she is lovely. (Man, don’t we all need to hear that!!) instagram.com/p/CPV2sPDJ0sD/…

I just wanted to thank you both Scotty Smith and Russ Masterson for sharing such beautiful conversations with the world. I just finished the audiobook and even ordered a physical book, as it’s impacted my heart so much. I’ve put out reviews on Audible, Goodreads, & Instagram.

Last week in the Nantahala gorge with fishing buddies. We all caught fish, but we all needed an excuse to stand in the middle of a rushing river in the mountains. @ Nantahala Gorge instagram.com/p/CPYINmiJYAM/…

“Apart from the garments of God’s grace we’ll reach for the rags of some futile covering.” Scotty Smith said. “We’re convinced that being fully seen by God would destroy us.” I was learning, in Christ, I’m fully seen & fully loved. Linktr.ee/searchingforgr…

“We may be prone to wander, but he (Christ) is even more prone to seek and find.” - Searching for Grace with Scotty Smith

“We matter, but we’re not the point.” — Scotty Smith Listen to the whole episode of The Way Home here: apple.co/34AbPEZ

“Of all the enemies of peace, shame is at the top... the names written on our hearts by evil and failure have been inscribed with permanent marker. Only the grace of God can possibly begin to rewrite our shame.” - Searching for Grace with Scotty Smith

There is a lot more people-pleasing in me than I originally thought. There is also infinite forgiveness, righteousness, and welcome in Christ that I yet to behold fully.

I think the equation is grace + time + safety = relationship and growth. That rings true based on dinner last night with gospel-mentor and friend Scotty Smith and his dear wife, Darlene.

A friend sent me this pic he saw online. He wrote, “They are eating it up.” 🤣 instagram.com/p/CQbYrGBpBx2/…

A gift & invitation: “Be still & know that I am God.” I love when the time is near, to go & find quiet places for a busy heart. instagram.com/p/CQjgvhAJVBj/…

"He (God) displays his power precisely when and where they can contribute nothing, and all in order to lift our eyes to himself, so that we will have no illusions or delusions about where our help is found." - Dale Ralph Davis, Judges: Such a Great Salvation

Gift of grace: the spiritual practice of walking on a quiet path. @ Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park instagram.com/p/CSJ8NQ_gARl/…

"The point should not be lost on any of Yahweh's servants. Awareness of our weakness is the beginning of safety..." (Dale Ralph Davis) So... we welcome contemplation and confession. We rejoice in repentance, falling whole-heartedly into the welcome and work of Christ.

Yes! Go dawgs. instagram.com/p/CYk8ui1gDiZ/…
