I just wrote in a note to a friend the other night, “I have a lot of months of hard therapy ahead and I’m nervous to find out who I am on the other side of it.” Thank you for the encouragement to dare to find out 🤍

Yes! Dare to find out. Begin again. The person you will discover is already there + already loved. 🙏🏼

So much of the faith that was handed to me and that I embraced and lived for so long was fear management which I find ironic as the same people so ardently tout the, “Faith over fear” mantra. Ever grateful for your insights, KJ, and your ability to articulate them so beautifully.

It is so ironic, right? And so sad--how many settle for fear management when we could receive friendship instead.

S - supplication (needs of others)! I found it so helpful as new pray-er, but it became the “only way” too fast.

Yes! I left off the S! 😂 Supplication for others became everything!

Absolutely stunning thoughts! Definitely learning to stop striving and receive Him!

Your book is anointed - it is so beautiful. It gives me the courage to keep writing my soil and Holy Scripture poetry book. I love it. Praise be to God. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I’m stumbling my way through the aftermath of spiritual abuse with prayer being very hard....And yes, non existent most days. Thank you for this powerful reminder that prayer doesn’t have to be so hard, and that in fact, I’m praying when I admire the sunset or the birds singing. My favorite prayer is singing in the car :)

Thank you for confirming perfection is not needed to begin. In fact, it’s the obstacle to beginning.

So much of this resonated with me - about beginning, about prayer, about x-country skiing. Thank you for sharing!

Too woke. 😂 I have a feeling someone’s gonna be real disappointed when they meet Jesus face to face.

Can I give you permission to filter reviews when you read them? Ignoring those below a 4? Your editor or publisher or agent can look at the others to glean whether there’s actually any constructive feedback there (quite a lot won’t, rather it’ll just be the reaction of someone who felt triggered or poked or scared by your stuff and it’ll say more about them than your writing).

I sent pages 84-85 to my very best friend, and she wrote back WHOA, who wrote that?? In the most awed way. Your words are giving us life over here dear sister. Thank you.
