get lost in your season mama, you are where you need to be

I stood in the kitchen making taco meat last night, but standing was even too much. I grabbed a stool to continue stirring while I listened to the kids chatter and Matt tell me about his day.  I was tired. Really tired. And as I served up the plates my insides were begging for someone…

I’m just a tree, planted by streams of Living Wa I’m just a tree, planted by streams of Living Water, with roots that go deep. He must increase…🍃
Real compassion takes work.⁠ A lot of it. ⁠ Real compassion takes work.⁠ 

A lot of it.
⁠
You can’t fake it with a quick emoji or a comment that sounds empathetic but costs you nothing.⁠
You can’t merely send a Bible verse, or a quick catch phrase, and move on.⁠
You can’t show up only when it’s convenient, comfortable, and well-lit.⁠
⁠
No, real compassion is inconvenient.⁠
It lingers when things get awkward.⁠
It leans in when everyone else leans out.⁠
It listens longer than it wants to,⁠
asks questions instead of assuming answers,⁠
and stays at the table when every instinct says,⁠
“You don’t owe them anything.”⁠
⁠
Because compassion isn’t just a feeling.⁠
It’s a choice.⁠

Just like love, because compassion IS love.
⁠
Love is a costly choice. 
⁠
It costs time.⁠
It costs comfort.⁠
Sometimes it costs your pride.⁠
⁠
But it’s the kind of cost Jesus never flinched at.⁠
⁠
He knelt in the dirt beside the woman caught in adultery.⁠
He wept with grieving sisters.⁠
He touched the leper.⁠
He drew near to the sick, the blind, the lame.
He forgave the ones crucifying Him.⁠
⁠
Love didn’t just move Him emotionally.⁠
It moved Him physically—toward pain, toward…people.
⁠
And if we’re following Him,⁠
it will move us too.⁠
⁠
Live the kind of Love that costs something.⁠ live the kind of Love that makes others confused. 
⁠
That’s the kind that changes the world.⁠

There’s a line I keep circling back to:⁠ ⁠ " There’s a line I keep circling back to:⁠
⁠
"A theology that gives rise to a spirituality, which nobody can live out, is a highly suspect theology, however good its biblical, traditional, and logical credentials may claim to be.” ⁠
(Fred Sanders, Jesus in Trinitarian Perspective, pg. 11)⁠
⁠
Here’s the thing—⁠
we can read the Bible, memorize verses, know the Greek and Hebrew, and still completely miss the point.⁠
Because the aim of theology is not simply to think rightly about God—⁠
it’s to live rightly with Him, and with others.⁠
⁠
Jesus didn’t say, “You’ll be known by your well-crafted statements.” ⁠
He said, “You’ll be known by your love.”⁠
(John 13:35)⁠
⁠
Jesus never invited us into a faith that stays in theory.⁠
He invites us to live what we believe—⁠
in the way we speak to our families,⁠
in how we forgive,⁠
in how we serve,⁠
in how we trust Him in the ordinary and the unseen.⁠
⁠
Real theology produces a real way of life.⁠
It shows up in the kitchen and in the carpool line, ⁠
on our kids' sports teams,⁠
in how we love, forgive, and endure.⁠
⁠
It doesn’t just inform our thoughts;⁠
it forms our character.⁠
⁠
Maybe today is a good day to ask:⁠
Where has your faith stayed in the mind—⁠
admired, elevated, but not practiced?⁠
⁠
Where might the Lord be inviting you to let it become real?⁠
⁠
Faith that stays in our heads will never transform the world.⁠
But faith that is lived—boldly, consistently, daily...⁠
⁠
will.
A few weeks ago, I went to visit my daughter, Kate A few weeks ago, I went to visit my daughter, Kate, at TCU for parents weekend. We skipped the planned festivities because that same weekend we attended a funeral.

A beloved ballet faculty member—also a pastor’s wife for over 20 years—passed away the very day Charlie Kirk was killed.

At her funeral the room was packed. Standing room only. While the world was grieving the loss of a superstar, this community was also grieving their own.

I didn’t know her personally, but I was deeply moved hearing story after story about the way she lived—faithful, kind, intentional. She loved the Lord and she loved people well. Her life made a real difference in this world.

And then to leave that sacred space and step back into the online poison surrounding Charlie’s death… my heart broke all over again.

Something in me significantly shifted that weekend.
Whatever fear of man was still lingering in me was stripped away.

As the Psalmist says,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
—Hebrews 13:6

I don’t want to stall or sit on the sidelines anymore. I want to love the place God has planted me—even the one I never expected to call home. I want to see families reconciled, neighbors united, truth proclaimed, evil exposed and Jesus Christ worshiped! 

So next Sunday, October 12 at 5:30 pm, at Bird Haus Farms, we’re gathering to do just that: worship. 

It’s family-style—bring your picnic blankets, bring food if you’d like, and come ready. Come expectant. 

My dear friend Marla Barnard-Grub will lead worship with her husband and friends from King’s Porch.

The table is set.
The invitation is here.

Come.
Pray.
Ask the Holy Spirit to move mightily in power.

Lord Jesus, we welcome You here.
Wake sleeping souls.
Set us on FIRE for the things that matter most.
Bring revival to this land.

The time is now!
