Notes in a Jar
As much as we say it's not, life is made up of the little things. Several years back, my sister caught wind that New Year's Eve was difficult for me. Maybe I wrote a blog about it, or I told her directly — I can’t remember. However, what I do remember is that she...
A Father Who Holds Me
The thunder roared outside and frightened my little frame. I looked up to read my dad's expression. I think he was enjoying the lightning show that God was putting on display. I leaned back into him, comforted by his encompassing and compassionate hold on me, and...
But Do You Trust Me?
Life can be scary — there’s no doubting that. How do we handle things that frighten us? Do we actually trust God? In the last six months, I feel like the Lord has placed me in circumstances that have nudged me to embrace uncomfortable situations. My initial reaction...
How Could I Forget You?
I wrote this poem because I needed to remind myself of who God is and what my purpose is today, this week and the for rest of my life. I feel like I’ve been in an extended waiting period. I’ve done all that I know to do and now I need to wait. It’s tempting to try and...

Morning Reminders
You don’t wait for any man to raise the sun. It rises it when you say. You don’t count on men to place the moon at night. It comes out when you say. You don’t need a man to oversee the oceans tides. They go out and in when you say. You don’t need men to dictate the...
Why A Grave?
I’ve been thinking a lot about this… Of all the ways for God the Father to prove His Lordship, why did He choose to lose His son to the grave? He could have done it a million other ways, yet He chose the most painful, the most devastating, the most...
Deconstruction Vs. Suffering
Whenever there is a topic I can’t quite seem to get out of my head, I know it needs to be addressed in writing rather than in my own head. Several months ago, my friend suggested I listen to a podcast about Christians who “deconstruct.” I did, but to get more context,...
