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,...
In Uncharted Territory What Should We Do?
In the LORD's hand the king's heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him. Proverbs 21:1 He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. Daniel 2:21 Do not be...
You Lose But You Gain!
Please go... I could feel my personal space begin to close... Why?! Why do you catch me when everything is shut off. Why do you interrupt my silence? Haven’t you done enough? Taken enough? Why do you keep coming back? Slowly walking towards me, I try and wrestle him...
Looking for Your Story
Have you ever needed to hear a great story? When I found "I am second" videos on YouTube, I devoured them. I distinctly remember where I was and what I was doing. I was in a very intense job at the time, and it was my day off. I was cleaning the house where I was...

Where is the Miracle?
They were with him during the wedding at Cana when He turned water into wine. They were with Him when He healed a blind man from Bethsada. They were with Him when He fed the four thousand and then the five thousand. They walked with Him for years. They’d seen Him...
What’s A Man
Several months ago, I went to see a movie in theaters. It impacted me so much, I went back to see it again with my mom and sisters. The movie was Harriet. If you haven’t seen it, rent it when it comes out! The whole movie is one challenge after another as you see...
New Year’s Eve
Fireworks explode in the neighborhood as the clock struck 12. I walked into this evening with the utmost trepidation. Like Cinderella waiting for her beautiful dress to turn rags and her carriage to collapse. I, on the other-hand, was not wanting to catch a prince, or...
The Letter I Wrote to Myself…
A few years ago, in Fall no less, I found myself just outside Los Angeles, California. The team I worked with had a conference there and I was the keeper of the schedule, merchandise table, and other things. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. We would be...
