Break Me Apart
I can honestly say that I have no desire to live a life focused on desires of the flesh. If it takes breaking me a part to make me more Christ-like, that is what I want. May the Holy Spirit soften my heart wherever it is hard; and if that is what you wish I […]
Philippians 4:6…Breaking it down
A little over 2 months ago, my mom was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. Since then, there have been a variety of scans and tests; and what feels like one delay after another.

Did Jesus Ever Get Angry?
This is the question I pondered while experiencing this emotion myself. This anger stemmed from the feeling that I had been betrayed by a friend.

A wise Christian will take steps towards finally seeking those friends out. “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” John 8:32 “Rather, […]
“The way we deal with uncertainty says a lot about whether Jesus is ahead of us leading, or behind us just carrying our stuff” Bob Goff
