Losing my wallet, my keys and (sometimes) my religion

February 20, 2013 //  by Heather

It is hard for me to say this out loud, but I’m always afraid of losing my faith. I imagine it slipping it out of my fingers and being gone forever.

But a recent incident made me realize how backwards I have this narrative. And I found freedom realizing who, exactly, is in control of my Christianity.

I’m so honored to have another post up on SheLoves today–and extra excited to share that I’ll be a regular contributor there now–the third Wednesday of each month. Won’t you join me there?
