As I write this I am taking a break from my work while sitting in my pajamas on the couch. Like many people I am working from home. I am extremely grateful that I work as support staff at a school. A position that is needed when trying to support our poor teachers attempting toContinue reading “Quarantine: the good, the bad, and the beautiful”

We live in a time wherethe golden rule seems to have been given a new definition. The golden rule is found in Matthew 22:36-40 (it’s also present in the OT and a few other places in scripture). Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the LordContinue reading “Love Yourself or Should You?”

In mid-January I stumbled upon a new planner. I am mildly obsessed with planners and almost never manage to use the same one for very long. I think 6 months is my record. Anyhow I think I stumbled on this via an aid on social media and I must say that I’ve come to loveContinue reading “Prayerful Planner Review”

I have gone back and forth on lent. Every year I debate and try to figure out should I celebrate it, should I not? Growing up my church didn’t talk about lent at all. We didn’t really follow the church calendar which is not necessarily a bad thing. I knew a few people who celebratedContinue reading “What I am doing with Lent this year”

So, I wanted to write out a post about the things that I looked into during that period. Facing hardship and struggle often makes you question what you believe.Continue reading “Why do I believe?”

Let the words of my mouth, and the mediation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 As I’ve pursued fully surrendering to God this year this verse has continually come up. It’s literally something I cannot run away from. It has become a daily additionContinue reading “Psalm 19:14”

I just took a little while and read through all of my old posts on my blog. Some of them I wish I had gone back and read during last fall when I was really struggling with my depression. They really spoke so many truths that I was trying to avoid. It always stinks whenContinue reading “Looking backwards and forewards”

In my re-introduction post I mentioned that I struggle with depression. As I was going through some old pictures on my computer today I stumbled upon a picture of a tattoo that I decided I was going to get. This tattoo was supposed to represent the decision I made to live my life how IContinue reading “Thoughts on My Lowest Point”

Yes, I disappeared from the internet for about 7/8 months and now I am back. Why? Well in all honesty I stopped writing because I was going through a stagnant period in my spiritual life. I felt like I needed to take a step back and focus on living out the things that I wasContinue reading “I disappeared….”

When you are reading this I will be on my way to Granada, Nicaragua for a week. I am leading a group of students to visit a school and church that we partner with in Nicaragua. We will be leading Bible Schools, visiting neighborhoods to pray and encourage some of the folks there, and paintingContinue reading “When you’re reading this…”
