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 7, 2022

So I’m going through this thing right now… You see, “writing” has been “what I do”… …my preferred way of communication… The words have flowed onto the page every day for a few years now, and really, for most of my life, off and on… And while I still write in my every day for… Read More 4.7.2022 – So I’m going through this thing right now…

March 31, 2022

I no longer write on this blog every day… (There, I said it… …and do you know how much I’ve wrestled with it?) Do I still write? Yes. Will I still write? I sure hope so!

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 cross—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. 🌈 But He makes it simple… Read More 3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

February 22, 2022

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 there—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…

2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome

February 19, 2022

One of the things I am learning about living life in the midst of facing fears and anxiety, is learning to accept… that fear and anxiety might not always just “go away” when I’d like them to “just go away.” Learning to accept… that I won’t always be swept up and “rescued” from all of… Read More 2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome

February 7, 2022

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

February 2, 2022

God has been reminding me from time to time, over the last couple of years, of these memories with Him (that I had forgotten until I found the old home videos).

January 30, 2022

The other week I slipped into an intense state of anxiety… And then after a little while of getting completely wound up in that I realized I had finally spiraled down into depression.

Heavenly Father, I’m struggling… I’m having to work through some things that I never expected would be this much of a struggle to work through at this point in my life. It’s humbling.
