Pour tea into porcelain,

and give ’em something they couldn’t spell.

But not because I’m trying to hide.

If the matter were pressed upon me—

By royal insistence—

The Rest Is His Story
Hi, I’m Teresa—Jesus-loving, absolutely the worst at showing it sometimes, and still figuring it all out one stumble at a time. Jesus is the Author. I’m just living the draft. This blog isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about letting the red pen hit the page. It’s about edits, grace notes, and re-learning what I thought I already knew. It’s about becoming. It’s about trusting that the Author knows how to finish what He started—even when the pages feel messy. And it’s about walking with others who are still growing too. Crawling. Crying. Singing off-key. But moving—by grace.
