somewhere between silence & screaming
I'm 20-something, happily married, happily employed, and living in Florida with my husband and my dog.
I grew up in TN, and sometimes I miss it. I love laughter, chocolate, and Jesus.
Other than that, all you need to know is - this blog is my journey of discovering what it means to be made by God, for God, and how to live like the loved, called and chosen daughter of the King that He says I am.

This post started out as something completely different. Sometimes, when God has revealed to or reminded me of some kind of truth, I get overeager to share it. In the spirit of Christmas, it actually makes me think about how Mary pondered the shepherds’ message about the birth of Christ in her heart. She could have shouted the situation, their speculation, her calling, His glory, from the rooftops. But it wasn’t time yet. She was still in the middle of a story that couldn’t be fully realized or understood until decades later when that same baby grew into the God Man that changed everything once and for all.
I admire her humility and wisdom in her decision to stay silent, and I must confess that I feel the call to follow her lead in this area on a fairly regular basis. When my overeagerness threatens to take over, I am grateful to serve a God who humbles me and encourages me to be still, to be patient, to wait on Him. He is worth it, and His real story is always far better than the one I was longing to tell prematurely.
