Seasons of “Dormancy”

December 20, 2022

It’s so easy to eventually discount something we’ve been waiting to behold within our lives… …to be discouraged, to lose hope after some time passes. Whenever that answer to prayer, that hope, that promise… seems to become less and less relevant, …less and less likely. We wait, and we wait… without seeing anything unfold. “Dormancy“… Read More Seasons of “Dormancy”

April 20, 2022

Good Morning, Heavenly Father. šŸ’ Thank You for what You’re doing in my life that I cannot see… The pieces that You are orchestrating… …that I do not understand.

3.15.2022 – Urgent Reminder: Jesus is Lord

March 15, 2022

I don’t think I have ever had such a deep realization… of our desperate need to get back to the purity of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ. The pure, and simple message of the crossā€”it’s always the answer. The deep knowing, the deep realization of, the deep acknowledgement of the TRUTH… that Jesus Christ… Read More 3.15.2022 – Urgent Reminder: Jesus is Lord

3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

March 7, 2022

…but He is complex. A lot of times God does things much differently than we expect. His ways are not our ways. We must learn to draw closer, draw nearer, and look closely… to see Him, and to understand. But that doesn’t mean that God is “complicated“… He’s complex. šŸŒˆ But He makes it simple… Read More 3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

Sometimes it’s like God does these “little” things that get my attention… I see it kind of like like a shiny object that He places thereā€”hidden in plain sight… but then He ignites it with His light so that I can see it, that I might take notice of it, that I might draw near,… Read More 2.22.2022 – When God gets your attention…

2.9.2022 – “Hallways”

February 9, 2022

Transitional times can often be challenging times… I think of a “hallway.” Often times, hallways don’t have windows. Sometimes there are doorways to other rooms, but ultimately, we follow a hallway because it’s leading us from “point A to point B.” We usually can’t see too much around us within these “hallways of transition.” But… Read More 2.9.2022 – “Hallways”

I’ll be honest… it seems I’ve been facing a battle within the place of my time of communion with the Lord.

This morning has been a little different than usual.
