Recently, I had a girl’s night with my best friend and we watched Wonder Woman.  Oh my word.  That movie spoke such volumes to my soul.  There is one particular scene that I’d like to share in this post.  This is the scene in which, against all odds, Wonder Woman crosses No Man’s Land.  No Man’s Land is positioned on the front lines of the battle.  The bad guys are on one side.  The good […]

May your Kingdom come soon.  May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. (Matt. 6:10 NLT) This blog is about the closest thing I have to keeping a diary these days.  Consequently, if you are reading these entries, you are going on a journey with me.  Some of the thoughts I express in these pages are things I have been reflecting on for years.  Sometimes though, the words you read are […]

October 23rd, 2017 will always be a day that stands out in my heart and in my soul.  It was the day that life as I knew it changed forever.  I remember that morning very vividly.  I had just woken up and was still lying in bed when I got a call from my mother.  She was crying.  “I think something happened to your brother.  Dusti called me crying and told me I need to […]

Shortcuts.  Have you ever wanted to take the shortcut before?  The easy way out?  If there was a way to bypass pain and trials and wilderness seasons, you would want to do it…wouldn’t you?  I know I would.  But sometimes there is no shortcut and the only way out is through. Sometimes the hardest thing we could do in our lives is to simply wait on the Lord and put our hope and confidence in […]

I recently came across a quote by Joyce Meyers that said, “We are concerned to pray for little things, but everything is little to God.” I have been walking in relationship with Jesus for almost 20 years and I am still trying to wrap my head around how much God cares about me, even down to the smallest details of my life. It’s easier to understand why He would get involved in the big stuff, […]

Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.  Wait patiently for the Lord.  Be brave and courageous.  Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. (Ps. 27:13-14) For those of you who don’t know, I am 29 years old.  I am about to be 30 next month…mixed feelings about that one, but I digress.  I began my journey with Jesus when I was 10.  Since […]

The title of this post is admittedly strange…you are not an apology?  What the heck does that mean?  This is a phrase that God gave me to describe a phenomenon we may experience in seasons of our lives that is a direct product of shame.  We may not realize that it is shame, but if you look closely, you’ll see shame written all over it. There are times we make mistakes in life.  Some of […]

Sometimes you may lose your way. And sometimes life may catch you by surprise. It’s all right to cry- but don’t give up. Take a deep breath, summon your courage and wriggle free! And if you need to hide away for a bit, then do. Hold tight, until you’re ready to face the world again. The Tale of You –Beatrix Potter Strength is described in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as the capacity for exertion or endurance, […]

A little over a year ago, I had a dream that caught my attention.  I dreamt that I was on a school bus with a group of young adults.  I had a workbook with me that I stored on an overhead shelf.  It was a theological workbook and it was heavy, difficult and intense.  As we were on our travels, I discovered my workbook was stolen.  We arrived at the school and I was very […]

Now that I’m back to blogging, I have a lot to catch you all up on.  Although I have described, more or less, the events I have been through over the past several months in my previous entry, there are so many thoughts and ideas and lessons learned that I’d like to explore through my writing.  Consequently, I expect that many of my blog posts in the days and months to come may touch on […]
