FollowMy faith is fire — not comfortable, not decorative. I write about God with urgency and honesty. Spirituality isn't a retreat from the world for me; it's how I stay inside it.

surrender doesn't mean giving up
it means giving over
to something bigger
than the plan you had
i've surrendered many plans
what came instead
was better
every time
which is how i know to keep doing it

I keep a small altar
on my dresser
a candle
a photo
a stone from the river
where i was baptized
it's not about the objects
it's about the looking
the remembering to look

I fast to remember
what it feels like to wait
to want something
and choose to wait
the hunger reminds me
i am not in charge of everything
which is a relief
honestly

I believe in a god
who knows my name
who is not distant
who is in the room
that's enough to keep me going
when everything else
is not enough

healing came slowly
not like a miracle
like a garden
you don't see it
day to day
and then one morning
there's something there
that wasn't there before

gratitude is not a feeling
it's a practice
you do it even on the days
it doesn't feel natural
especially on those days

I prayed for things i didn't get
more times than i can count
i've made my peace with this
not by understanding
but by trusting
that the view from here
is not the whole view

I've been a member of this church
for thirty years
some people think that's too long
in one place
but roots are not a limitation
they're what hold you
when things shake

The spirit moves like wind
you don't see it
you see what it does
the tree bending
the curtain lifting
the feeling in the room
when someone starts to cry
that's the spirit

Praise anyway
that's what my grandmother said
when the year was hard
when the money was short
when the body wasn't cooperating
praise anyway
and so i do
