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,…

Single: It’s Ghetto here, but God
In all of my blogging, I’ve never focused a blog on my singleness, but recently I felt the need to share some of my journey.

I decided to take the same stance, and while everything didn’t get better, I recognized that I can’t control everything, but I can control how I deal with it. How do you deal with opposition? Do you focus on the…

Identity in Isolation
When we strip away the accessories of this world, will we still carry ourselves the same? Maybe the weight of perception being taken off one’s shoulders will allow us to be pleasantly light in the present. Resting vulnerably and naked in his presence, seeking him & not the validation of things. Finally, slowing down long enough to realize the hamster wheel called best life we’ve been on…. Taking this time to rest from running. God longs to know you the same way he knew you before he formed you. He’s tired of hearing countless busy signals. So, he’s cut the signal in our service. Disrupting our routines, timelines, & schedules, hoping that…
