Easter is the most beautiful story I know. It’s the one where Love beats death, and makes a way for us all to come back home. 🤍 Jesus is risen! He’s risen indeed. It was a gift to celebrate it all in sunshine with people I love. Also, don’t miss Riv’s peace sign . ✌🏼🤍

Do y’all know that anxious feeling that creeps in on days you feel overwhelmed? It makes your chest feel tight, and it feels harder to simply just take one deep breathe? I was filling out our calendars for the rest of the spring this morning…and MAY ALONE is enough to send me over the edge with stress. Trying to coordinate all the end of the year performances, games, school celebrations, with work and touring and childcare is no small thing for me. I want to be present with my kids, and I also want to be present with my work, and I end up feeling present NO WHERE. I do not possess the wonderful skill of organization and planning. I can do it, but it is exhausting. I wrote down a list of everything I needed to do just for today, and immediately felt that tightness in my chest.
When I got to the “to do” of posting a memory monday verse for today, I landed on Psalm 103, and I’m tearing up now writing about it. As I took a deep breath and started singing these promises of God over my anxious heart, I noticed that my shoulders sank down. I was able to take a deep breath and remember that I never face any anxious moment or season alone. God is merciful, loving, powerful, and LOVE is in the business of pulling us out of pits and placing a crown of compassion on our heads. During a moment of real stress today, God’s word brought me back home to peace, to the steady current of Love that is with me and that carries me even in my most unstable moments.
I’m amazed how this continues to happen for me. I was going to start off by telling you that Psalm 103 is one of the songs that I put on my Psalms EP, All of My Days, that comes out THIS FRIDAY, but instead, God decided to let His word remind me , once again, that it is a balm, and a shelter ,and a light for me. I pray these songs will be a safe place for you to go and listen to Peace call you back home. I pray they would meet you in every anxious, dark, lonely corner of your life, and that they would shine light and love into those places, reminding you to never forget God’s steady love.

Y’all. I went to the @lauren_daigle show in Nashville w/ my precious friend and manager @samantha797 tonight, and we had the best time ! @blessingoffor opened and is NOT to be missed , and we danced and laughed and cried the night away as Lauren and her expansive spirit, legendary voice, and epic band , invite every human in the crowd to bring their one , colorful, beautiful/broken, life and story to hold it up to the light of the love of God and be fully present in a night that will never happen exactly the same anywhere else . It was amazing !! And at the Nashville show alone, there were over 700 children sponsored through @childfund !! I cried and might have even cussed in holy wonder at the beauty of an arena in Nashville connecting with kids all over the world to bring our stories together to the light and love of God.
All of this to say, do NOT miss the @lauren_daigle Kaleidoscope Tour, and I cannot believe I’ll be joining the fun opening on this tour, so maybe especially don’t miss the shows I am on b/c I am gonna be cloud nine level of excited & I want to see YOU there ! Dates and tix in my profile !
Thanks for your kind words that you spoke to me during your set , LD. 🥹🤍✌🏼🌈 I love you to the moon and back and cried and sang along to the song we got to write together , “Be OK”, and danced and sang along to all your other incredible songs. Big fan of who you are, who God made you to be , and the bigger story you invite us all into with your Louisiana flare for hospitality and warmth. You put your whole self into making a big ole pot of delicious musical gumbo ,and you serve it up with a smile to anyone who’s hungry. Press on, sister . So pumped to hang on the road soon.
And thank you @maddjett and team for always making us feel welcomed into the beautiful circle.
One of my friends connected to the Covenant Community sent this verse to me last week, as we were all grieving, remembering , and holding onto hope. She told me it was the verse she was clinging to for the week. I thought that was so beautiful, and had never honestly taken notice of that specific scripture, so I held onto it as well.
Y’all.
I don’t have enough words in this caption to tell all the ways that God placed treasure in the darkness of last week. It was stunning. The treasures didn’t take away the ache. They didn’t erase the pain of the anniversary of that tragic day, but they reminded me that we never walk through any dark night alone. I hope that this verse reminds you of the way Love gets the final word, no matter what. Not death. Not darkness. Not suffering. Love and Light win out in the end, but even as we walk through the dark nights of the soul, there is hidden treasure there to remind us where we came from, to remind us we are seen and loved and known by name. Oh God, give us eyes to see the hidden treasure and hearts to understand the measure of Your love for us…that walks beside us from the garden to the grave, and back home to the garden again.

y’all!!! It has been an absolute JOY to be opening for @laurendaigle on her Kaleidoscope Tour. Lauren is a kindred spirit and dear friend, so to get to go on the road together feels like a dream. I’ve loved singing with people all over the place, and hearing y’all sing along. I’ve LOVED watching Lauren and her incredible band put on an amazing show in each city, each one special and unique. We are having a blast with her band and crew and my band and crew is incredble too!
This week, i’ve had my daughter out on the road with me. She loves Lauren and her music, so we’ve been singing along each night together. She is also out on the road to help watch her godbrother, Triumph. His momma, of @thenewrespects, is out playing guitar for me on these shows, and it has been the sweetest thing to watch her love and help take care of him. It feels like family out here on the road, and I’m so grateful. Thanks to Lauren and her crew for making us feel so welcome, and thanks to my crew for working so hard to make it possible to play these shows and connect with so many people each night. @s.grantparker @zandymowry @jschrodt @jacthompsonmusic @morganrcombs @sethtalley @jaymindesai @shamilt0n Y’all are some of my favorite people to be with, and I feel lucky to work with so many people that I respect and love so deeply.

Did you know that there is an ancient medieval tradition called the Easter Laugh? My friend, @taylorleon, told me about it today. This is what she said, “ Easter Monday holds the additional distinction of being referred to by some as Risus Paschalis—Easter Laugh. Early orthodox communities began a tradition of gathering on the Monday following Resurrection Sunday to tell jokes as a way of marking Easter as the ultimate joke God played on Satan by defeating death with life.” I love this so much. In the anglican Easter Vigil liturgy, it says, “Hell grasped a corpse, and met the face of God.”
I love the wild reversal that death is overcome by LIFE AND LOVE in the Easter story, and I’m smiling wide at the comfort that brings me. It has been a heavy season for us, our family, and our people in Nashville. March reminds us of a tornado that tore through our neighborhood leaving destruction in its wake 4 years ago, cancer is a thief, and at the end of this month, we remembered that a year has passed since the tragic day at The Covenant School. We wait and hope and long for change. It is heavy. It is hard, AND , I am also here to bear witness to the way that I have found treasures in the dark. There have been so many mercies, so many stories of provision and healing, and friendships born even in the midst of deep grief. It doesn’t take the sting of death away right now, but Easter and Spring sing the song that death never has that final word. Life does. Love does. It’s a mysterious backwards and upside down kingdom economy, and it allows us to “laugh with relief for all eternity” as @annvoskamp puts it .
Jesus is our treasure in the dark. He descended to the depths of hell, and walked out of the grave to remind us that Love always makes a way , even in the depths of our ache and pain. We’ll never walk alone.” If it’s not ok, it’s not the end,” as my friend @sandramckracken says . I hope you’ll sing this beautiful promise with me today and I pray that God will give us eyes to see the treasure hidden in the dark.

Oh Lord, help me to fix my eyes on the real treasure, Your love and getting to share that love with all the people I encounter. Thank you that we don’t have to fear anything, and that there is always enough love to go around because the source of every good treasure has a limitless supply of it.
