Hey there, friends!
Welcome to the relaunch of my lil podcast. I pulled the ones we had recorded before because sometimes creativity is an iterative process. I knew I had a lot to share, but it didn’t have a structure to exist in.
This has been remedied.
I realized I have a hard time, typically, staying in touch with the present moment. Kind of standard for an ADHD brain.
In high school, I used to pass a notebook around and let friends write favorite quotes on it. One of my friends wrote “Wherever you are, be all there.” - Jim Elliot.
This was pre-smart-phone, mind. And even then, I could not relate to this quote. I wanted to! But I would look down at my notebook in class and see it and think “Ew, gross, I don’t want to be here!”
I wanted to be in the deep comfort of my rich inner world. The escape hatch of daydream was always available and endlessly appealing.
But I knew it wasn’t healthy to disappear like that so constantly.
If you can relate to that, this pod is dedicated to you.
I also see that there’s a lot of intentional rage mongering going on out there, and while I can’t promise there won’t be any spice at all in this pod - you can rest assured I am not here to provoke anger intentionally.
My intent is to honor the experience of being logged off. Logged off of the internet or just logged out of the never-ending daydream.
To look up and look towards Jesus.
Sometimes it will be my little sister in law, Julia, and me. Sometimes it will just be me.
If I really get my act together, we will get to hear some stories from some others, too.
But no matter what, chances are it will all come to you with a sleepover vibe, because apparently that is my default setting.
If you make time in your day to hang out with this podcast, thank you so much! I hope it blesses you.
And I hope today is full of surprises, but only the good kind.
Grace and peace!
