The Good Chronicles is more than just a collection of blogs. While blogs have always been my first love (mainly because I am a chronic doer who hates the thought of investing large portions of time just sitting to read), I have also felt the nudge to write more long-form stories.
My first book was released in November of 2019, and it has been a treasure to share my God’s love story with my brother with the world. As I like to say, it is his story - I just got to be the pen. I am honored to have seen how God has used “The Good in the Awful” to help and bless many.
And while the first book was meant to encourage the broken hearts, this newest one is a work of freedom. Check out “The Ugly House: Finding Home in God’s Work of Salvation & Sanctification” below and find out how you can both be holy & human today!
After over a decade serving as a youth pastor and then senior pastor, with a man that I love fiercely and have been married to for only slightly longer, raising two boys who are ACTIVE, a miracle girl who fought her way to join us - and about a million other things that we are privileged to juggle - it would be easy to miss the beauty in all of the busy… but what kind of a life is that? When the nights are long and the tears won’t stop, it is easy to want to throw in the towel but what a tragedy that would be!
Especially when God promises that He uses the very things meant to cripple us for our benefit (see: Romans 8:28). So instead of turning back or running away, I decided to write about it all. Letting God use all of the messiness for revealing the best message ever told.
