I’m finally getting around to reading this and it feels like God’s timing. I relate to so much of this but have truly had a hard time even beginning to put it into words for myself. Thank you for going first and sharing your words, Krista. ♥️
“And if she was good enough to ask to be saved, then she must also be good enough to live a life worthy of being saved, to give up her own will and sufficiently follow His, to be “walking closely with the Lord” as much as possible.”
I related to this and so much of this essay. Grateful to be creating and healing alongside you.
This is really beautiful, Krista. I keep thinking of the line Megan drew in Chicago, and how differently you would have written this 8 years ago vs. now. Love how you wove it all together.
Thanks, Stacy. I love that image of the line too...and who knows how the story will be written in 5 and 10 and 20 years! I guess that's part of the healing of writing.
Krista, I just found your page and am so moved by your writing. This post resonates so, so deeply (like--in a weird way. I feel like I wrote it about my own life😅). Thank you for sharing so vulnerably. I’m excited to read more of your work.🤎
Sarah, thanks for taking the time to encourage me with your kind words! I am so happy this piece resonated with you. That's always my top, top goal when writing and it's really special for me to hear when the words have accomplished that. Thanks for reading!
Thank you for writing this. I don't have any tattoos, but I'm thinking "you do not have to be good" would be a good place to start.
Saaame. How can you go wrong with a Mary Oliver tattoo? :)
Oh my gosh! Weren’t we literally talking about this at the exhale retreat?! Same, Shannon. Same.
Krista - this is so brave and vulnerable and real. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for writing this. It's so vulnerable, beautiful and downright poetic. I am always excited when I see your words in my inbox.
What kind words—thank you, Bec.
These words were much needed. Thank you for sharing part of your story with us ❤️
