I’m excited to share that I am transitioning my role at Gateway Church. After almost 10 years as a part of the Pink team, I have been invited to join Gateway Equip. They came, sought me out and offered some opportunities for the future I couldn’t resist.

I will be serving as a pastor of Equip at the Southlake campus, working directly with the team to help identify, develop and pastor the best teachers in the world. This is right up my alley! I love to develop people and to help provide encouragement and opportunities for their gifts to be on display. I look forward to investing more deeply into others and reconnecting on a more personal level with many of you. Continue reading →

I wrote this little poem in the midst of one of those moments. I knew it was temporary and I so wanted to capture it.

I hope you experience your own moment of breaking light and that you have the where-with-all to just pause and bask in His presence.

Trusting God is good for your health. Proverbs 3:15

When you trust God, you don’t worry. Psalm 116:7

A heart at peace, gives life to the body. Proverbs 14:30

This year has been a challenging year for me and my family. As I’ve been reflecting on where I began in January and where I ended up in December, I’m filled with gratitude despite the difficulties.

I’ve been learning to rest.
