  • I’m going to be 💯 I used to respond to troubling or grievous situations by convincing myself to be happy. After all, my troubles, trials and losses are much less than other people’s. However, that’s just not how life works. Diminishing and denying your sorrows doesn’t make them any less tangible or their impacts on…

  • Ok, I wanted to share this quick moment from earlier this afternoon. On the way to a doctor’s appointment and I started thinking about my new job. Before I could even get a baby toe into worrying about “I need to do this or that” or a litany of other what ifs and to-dos… I…

  • Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. I could burst with joy for the season of life that I am in. Not even a couple weeks ago could I say that. And while I have had other bright moments and joyous moments since committing my life to the Lord… now, this moment in…

    In my previous post, I discussed RTF and ungodly beliefs. In this part, I would like to share about how issues (particularly my issues) relate to one another. It is probably no surprise to you that no issue happens in isolation… here’s how I discovered how mine were connected. February 2020 (following a church-wide 21-day…

  • I’ve been listening to Graves into Gardens (By Elevation Worship) pretty heavily over the last few weeks and as I was singing I noticed something. I am singing scripture! I didn’t know what chapter and verses specifically but I recognize pieces of the lyrics as phrases from the Bible. This was a big deal for…

  • When is the last time you listened to worship music different than your usual? Have you ever experienced multicultural worship? Perhaps you have been able to travel and worship in a different language than your own or came across an album that you really loved. Either way, there is something about worshiping the Lord in…

  • You can be holy ❤️ For it is written, “Be holy as I am Holy.” “Walk by the Spirit and don’t fulfill the lusts of the flesh.” If you believe that in Christ you are a new creation, then truly you are dead to your old nature. When temptation comes, speak the word of truth…
