It was not the year we imagined. We had two job losses, a small loss in the family, and a long stretch where we both just survived next to each other instead of with each other. Pray for the second y…

I keep replaying it. Pray for me to lay it down without dropping the boundary. There is a version of forgiveness that is just self-erasure and I don't want to do that. There is also a version that hol…

Two real options on the table. Both could work. Both have shadows. Pray for clarity rather than certainty — I keep waiting to feel sure, and the feeling isn't coming. Pray for the wisdom to choose wit…

Pray for rest for the whole household.

Pray for me to hold the boundary without it eating me. Pray for my child too — that they don't carry shame that doesn't belong to them. And pray for the person who hurt them — not because they deserve…

We just hired our fourth person. Each hire is a small leap of faith. Pray for the right people in the right seats. Pray for me to lead well — to set a tone of high standards and high care. I have work…

We've been carrying this since the first scan came back uncertain. Some days I'm fine; some days I can barely look at the calendar. Pray for the doctor to be honest and gentle. Pray for the right next…

We didn't tell them how stretched we are; they wouldn't accept the help if they knew. Pray for sufficiency for everyone. Pray for me to do this without resentment, even on the months when it is hard. …

We saw him work so hard. Thank you for praying. #thanksgiving

I don't know the details. Pray for them anyway.

After months of hustle. Pray for the next ten. #thanksgiving

Pray for a warm welcome. Nervous in a quiet way.

He had a hard week at school — sensory overload on Tuesday, then a misunderstanding with a classmate on Thursday. The teachers are kind but stretched. Pray for one breakthrough this month, and for a s…

It's about boundaries — too much overtime and not enough thanks for it. I have been carrying it for months and I am not good at saying the hard thing. Pray for honest words from me and an open mind fr…

It was tight all the way to the last day. We had a quiet dinner of rice and eggs and we were grateful and a bit shaken. Pray for those still walking through scarcity. We have been there and we will be…

Pray for clear heads and right values. #work

Hospice last Wednesday. He still has good hours. He told a joke yesterday and we all laughed too hard, the way you do. My mother is sleeping next to him every night. My brother flew in from Sydney; h…

Not crisis, just slow. We are both tired in different ways. We have stopped reaching for each other in the small ways and neither of us is quite sure how it started or how to step back across. Pray fo…

Three weeks in, we finally got the full story out of him on Sunday night. He had been carrying it alone, which is the part that breaks me the most. We meet with the school on Wednesday. Pray for the …

Pray for resourcefulness and steady nerves. #healing
