There’s just so much going on in the world. Earlier this week, as I heard reports of the school shooting in Texas, I continued to ignore it. If I came across someone talking about it on my timeline, I’d scroll by quickly or if it came on tv, I would quickly change the station. It wasn’t that I was desensitized to it, but I was tired. And I’m sure many feel the same way. I did eventually listen to the full story and it made me sad (which was one reason why I ignored it initially). A few weeks ago I had a desire to write a blog on prayer,…

Find Your Freedom
Yesterday I got a chance to experience something new. I went out of town for work. When I finished my day, I decided to go for a walk on the beach. I’ve never been to the beach by myself.

It is absolutely gorgeous to look at, especially when you would see the sun rising over the water, but as time continues everything becomes more of a routine. Go to work, go to the gym, go home, maybe run errands, every day…

Real Love
I was riding in the car listening to the radio and the song, Jireh by Maverick City Music and Elevation Worship came on, one of my favorite songs. As the song was playing, I was thinking of what I could write a blog post about. I had been feeling the desire to write something for Holy Week. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about. This week I decided to read scriptures of events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and death. I figured something would come from that but I got nothing. As I continued to listen to the words to the song, Jireh, I began to think…
