So yesterday I was driving home and I had so many thoughts running through my head. My main one being along the lines of how I feel time’s end pressing down on me and how I deal with it by simultaneously running from it and feeling like I’m not doing enough. How I’ve been waiting...

New Mercies
It’s the New Year. A time for new beginnings. A time for life-course-correction. A brand new start. For many, the new year is a time to reevaluate who we are, where we are, and set course for the future. We work to make changes, often bettering ourselves in some way. We envision what we want...

Oh My Soul
I’ve thought of a few ways to begin this blog post, but none of them seem right. Inevitably my thoughts always filter back to Thanksgiving of last year. I can’t say that’s when this all started or that it served as some kind of catalyst, but when I try to work it all out, that’s... Continue Reading →

For Everyone Who…
For everyone who's felt overwhelmed, unfulfilled, like they're running behind, racing to catch up, drained, like they need a break, just plain tired... Me too. But this is just a bad day, a bad week, a bad month, a bad year. A bad season. A hard season. I don't know when and I don't know... Continue Reading →

A Land Not Sown.

There's something happening, the signs are all around, and I don't know who needs to read this, maybe it's me, but I hope this post will bring you the encouragement you need to keep pressing forward. I remember the loyalty of... Continue Reading →

I can't believe it's been a whole year since I first wrote the following post, but the dream I have is still there and bears repeating. I encourage you to take a moment today to look up the...

Little Drummer Boy
Christmas Carols have really been speaking to me this year. Songs that I have heard for so many years are taking on a new meaning, and Little Drummer Boy is no exception. In this carol is the simple reflection of the Colossians 3:23. Whatever gifts we have, let us use them to honor God. Whatever... Continue Reading →

The Book of Job: Chapters 16-17
It might not look like it at first glance, but Chapters 16 and 17 of Job talk a lot about hope. Job's hope isn't in finding relief, it's in God. Yes, he speaks a lot about what has gone wrong in his life, but woven throughout his words we see his hope transfixed on God... Continue Reading →

The Book of Job: Chapter 12
Through a Filter. How would you describe God? The answers this question receives are different from person to person. Mankind at large sees God in many different ways. For many, God is the One who punishes out of anger. He brings fire and brimstone upon all who stick a toe out of line. For others,... Continue Reading →

Letting Go of July.
I don't know about you, but July was the craziest month I have had so far this year. It felt like it was one thing after another with barely any time to breathe between events. When I did have time to collect myself, I was so mentally exhausted that I had nothing to contribute. So... Continue Reading →
