Please note this is not a "come to Jesus to be saved" blog; it's the opposite. I mention this, being aware that religious trauma is real and can affect the way we hear. This blog offers context to the word Grace and notices how its meaning has shifted over the years. It is not a blog to sway you into believing a certain way. 

2022 has begun. A lot of things bubble up for me whenever a new year begins. There’s a sense of hopefulness, skepticism, delight, fear, and numbness. They are felt in my current experience, but they do not define who I am or who I am made to be. When I investigate their edges, they become invitations to grow in greater awareness. They beckon me to live fully and freely.
