What Makes Me Healthy
My first tangle with depression was in April of 2017. It lasted for months. I had never encountered such darkness. Such sadness. The cloud hung over me 24 hours a day and I couldn’t seem to shake it. Depression is not something that everyone… Continue Reading “What Makes Me Healthy”
Like bittersweet chocolate
I was just going through documents on my computer and found this piece of writing from months ago that I never posted. I re-read it and decided that even late, the words still ring true… -Faith “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of… Continue Reading “Like bittersweet chocolate”
It’s Not a Contest
Don’t be threatened by someone else’s talents, gifts, or abilities. There is a downfall that often plagues people in leadership: other people’s successes. I’ve met plenty of people who are threatened by another person’s success in their same field of work. Pastors can be… Continue Reading “It’s Not a Contest”
Wonder in the Waiting
“The thrill of Hope, a weary world rejoices” the all-too familiar carol lilting out on the radio. I say “all-too familiar” because sometimes familiarity breeds contempt.

Hosea and Gomer
Hosea and Gomer. I’ve always loved this story…not because it’s a happy fairytale, but because it’s not. It’s real. It’s human weakness and Supernatural love on display. The kind that only God can give. Last week I purchased a copy of “For Such a… Continue Reading “Hosea and Gomer”
Jonah and Me
Have you ever said NO to God? I have. Many times, in fact. Fear and lack of bravery holds me back far too often. One time in particular sticks out in my memory as a Jonah experience…here’s what I wrote two years ago about… Continue Reading “Jonah and Me”
God. With. Us.
The name EMMANUEL. I’ve heard it since I was a toddler in diapers. It always connects me to Christmas…but I don’t think I fully understood what it actually meant until this year. Growing up in a Christian home was a huge blessing and I… Continue Reading “God. With. Us.”
