May help reach them quickly. May they not feel alone.

She is loved. The caregivers are tired. There is a particular weight to caring for someone who doesn't always remember you, and who is sometimes scared of you because of it. Pray for soft hands and sl…

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

Three years almost to the day from the diagnosis. The doctor said the word 'remission' and I think I said 'thank you' four times before I could pull it together. I am not the same person I was three …

Pray for patience and for the long view.

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

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…

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…

We had the conversation last weekend about hiring a part-time helper. It did not go well. They feel managed; we feel scared. Pray for the next conversation — for softer language and for us listening b…

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…

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

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. …

Pray for one good conversation this week.

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…

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 …

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 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…

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…

May help reach them quickly. May they not feel alone.

The relief is hard to describe. #thanksgiving #healing

After six years of saying I would. After three years of saying I should have. The first invoice goes out next week. Pray for steady hands and steady customers. Pray for me to learn how to charge what …

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…

We have come through one almost-match and one full match that fell through at the last week. We don't know what to call any of it now — hope, grief, tiredness. All of those at once on most days. Pray …

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…

Pray for soft landings between waves.

Pray for clear heads and right values. #work

Pray for one slow weekend.

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…
