I have a confession to make. I think Apostle Paul was kind of crazy. Before you think I’M crazy too let me explain. Paul was beaten multiple times by rods. He was pelted nearly to death with rocks. He was shipwrecked three times. Wherever he went he was always in danger. He was in danger […] Read more…

A God Who Sees
She was broken and bruised running away from the place that she had once called home. She didn’t think twice about what she was doing. All she wanted to do was escape. So she packed her bag and ran as far away as she could so she wouldn’t have to face abuse anymore. Even […] Read more…
Press Pause: Take a break from life
I have always wanted to be superwoman. The girl who’s always on top of it. Ready to save the world. Do anything and everything anyone ever asks of her. Carry the hurt, the pain, the burdens of everyone around her. Fix everyone’s problems. Face each day with a big smile on her face, a “go-getter” […] Read more…
When Nothing Seems To Be Happening
Sometimes… I don’t think God knows what He’s doing. I would never say it out loud. I would never admit to it. But deep down inside I believe it. How do I know? It’s quite simple – when things don’t work out according to my perfect little plan I try to “fix” the situation and […] Read more…
God will take care of you
If God could feed over 5000 hungry people with 5 fish and two loaves of bread. God can provide for you no matter how limited your resources are and how little you have. If God could part the Red Sea to make a way for the Israelites. He can make a way for you at […] Read more…
Know God vs. Know about God
I know I don’t share much about myself here on this blog but today I wanted to share something cool that you may not know yet: I’m best friends with the President. Yep. You got it. The man who sits behind the big desk at the White House every day. He’s my best friend. How […] Read more…
No More Comfortable Christianity
These last few months have been a bit of a rollercoaster for me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually because of one simple prayer. A prayer I don’t know why I continually repeat. A prayer that is constantly on my heart. “Break my heart for what breaks Yours”. And God has answered that prayer, because heartbroken I […] Read more…
“I want to be popular”
We live in a culture that is obsessed with self. Just look at the magazine covers as you stand in a grocery line. Scan through your instagram or facebook feed. Watch an episode of a reality tv show. And you’ll hear what everyone is trying to say. Maybe not verbally, but still very clearly. “It’s […] Read more…
Turn your pain into someone else’s hope
Sometimes when I step into church I feel like I’m attending a masquerade. A place full of perfect people hiding behind masks. Masks that cover their insecurities, their imperfections, their heartaches, their struggles, and their pain. People who would never dare to put that mask down and admit that life is less than perfect. That […] Read more…
Loving God When It’s Hard
I wish fairy tales came with labels, warning, disclaimers of some sort before we get swept away by Prince Charmings and Happily Ever After Endings. One such as “real love is not how it appears on this screen” or “don’t forget that this is just a made up story.” I have nothing against Prince Charming. […] Read more…
