Odds and Ends Stories Questions, Reflections, and Challenges

You'll find within these pages, a collection of stories, questions, reflections, and challenges based on my own journey. The topics, thoughts, ideas, notions, and questions are an invitation into a very real, intimate view of my life, my world, and my inner landscape. Each story stands alone so you don't have to start at the beginning and read to the end. Each one is presented as a sort of devotional...not in the traditional sense of the word...but as something to think about and consider, questions to ask yourself, and topics to share with those you love, to encourage connection and vulnerability...something a lot of us, myself included, struggle with. These stories can be used as a 31 day devotional, a small group study, or for your own personal use. Really, you get to decide. At the end of the day, my greatest hope is, that through my stories, you feel like someone gets it and you are not alone. Some of my stories you may relate to, some you won't, and that's okay. The point is, in whatever circumstances we face whether they are alike or different, we share the struggle. May you feel heard, seen, valued, accepted, and loved.
