  • The word count engine is trucking along! #amwriting #ltmorningmakeover #writersofinstagram #gettoworkbook
  • A Thursday prayer: May what the Father did for us mean more in our lives than what others have done to us (as @christinecaine says 😍). May we concern ourselves more with who God is making us than what others expect of us. And may our number one goal today be to glorify His name and lift Him high. ❤️
  • #LTmorningmakeover day 3: got in a 2-mile run before the heat of the day. Afternoon Laurie will be so happy she doesn’t have to run inside because it’s 95 degrees. * Highlights: new shoes that feel like clouds, 87% humidity, my ignite/run/release worship playlist, ending with a hill sprint of olden days, and hurdling a sprinkler instead of going around and getting my bottom all wet 😂 Bring on the giant lemon water and post-run yoga.
  • Hello from #LTmorningmakeover day 1! Up to this point, summer has looked like having fun with my kids during the day, staying up super late to get work done, and then starting the next day awakened by a sweet but hungry cub who doesn’t understand that this is summer and he can sleep past 640. 🙅🏻‍♀️ * So starting today, that changes. My whole life I’ve been convinced that I could reach my fullest potential if I became a morning person opposed to the person who literally falls asleep face-first in her keyboard. But if waking up early isn’t some magical myth that will lead to thriving health and an abundance of productivity, at least I can get a head start on my kids, right? Baby steps. * We are starting small around here. I set my alarm just early enough to make some coffee and maybe read a chapter of @susiedavis’ book I’m LOVING before children started stirring. And miracle of miracles, he slept long enough for me to also write 500 words on my manuscript, eat some breakfast, drink water, and journal until my hand nearly fell off. I could definitely get used to this, y’all. * Are you a morning or night person?
  • This little lady has been working hard on her dive! So proud of her perseverance ❤️ As a bonus, swipe for a video of Sampson doing his latest trick 😂😂😂 #allaboutag
  • 50K. Woof. It was the hardest 50K I’ve written to date, surviving a return to upper division science classes, a long creative wilderness, and a whole month of work lost in an event I affectionately refer to as #cloudgate that was 100% my fault. * * At the beginning of the summer I made a goal to finish by July 31 and am presently 5 days off target. But if I finish this project on August 5, I will be a happy author. It will be nothing less than a miracle. I love these characters and where this story is taking them. And I *WILL* finish writing it because 1) I’m really stubborn and 2) I believe the Lord has a purpose for this book and the time/sweat/tears in writing it, even if only for who He’s shown Himself to be in the process. * * Here’s to progress: one day, one 30-minute stretch, one check mark off the list at a time. Fight for it, make space for it, and celebrate the socks off of every inch of it.
  • I got a little behind on the word count tracker, so this felt really good! Slowly inching toward my summer goal ❤️#Amwriting #writersofig #gettoworkbook #enneagram3 #thatwriterlife
  • Have you ever noticed that so many of the verbs associated with the Lord begin with "RE"? For example, He: * Resurrects the dead * Restores the broken * Redeems our debts and failures * Revives souls * Returns lost things * Refills what's empty * Receives the least of these * Renames the disenfranchised * Renews the weary And so. much. more. Don't you think this common denominator only shows that our Father loves second chances?
