Higher.

I could just sit
I could just sit and wait for all your goodness
Hope to feel your presence
And I could just stay
I could just stay right wehre I am and hope to feel you
Hope to feel something again

And I could hold on
I could hold on to who I am and never let You change me from the inside
And I could be safe
I could be safe here in Your arms and never leave home
Never let these walls down

But you have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I will go where you will lead me Lord
You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I will go where you lead me Lord
Where you lead me
Where you lead me Lord

And I will be Yours
I will be Yours for all my life
So let your mercy light the path before me

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

Early in the morning

I have to stop fighting it. I'm a morning person.

I love getting up with the sun and just sitting with an open heart before God while everyone is still asleep.

The house is quiet. The office is quiet. The sky is just beginning to glimmer with light and shadow. And I have hope in a new beginning...each new day is a gift, and chance to learn and grow and love. The stillness is life giving.

While I'm basking in what morning is left, I have this song on repeat.

Listen. It's amazing.

A new adventure and no shampoo

My friend, Kayla, and I have just embarked on a new adventure, and I wanted to share it with you. We call it A Collaborative Effort. You can find me writing over there about home organization, thrifting, healthy food, and more!

Speaking of A Collaborative Effort, you can find me there today talking a little about my experience going No-Poo! :)

Day One: A little late, but still thankful.

I'm thankful for quiet Saturday mornings with a cup of tea. Today is one of those days. I'm curled up inside while the wind blows outside and makes the lights flicker. No where to be, nothing to do. My heart is quiet and full.
