Over the past week or so my soul has been pushing me to cave and capitulate. I hear my thoughts. I feel my emotions. And they… They have decided that this jagged, uncomfortable path of stillness leading to God’s glory is just too much for them. Now, I truly do not want to get off… Continue reading Right Where I’m Supposed to Be

Deaf Ears?
We’re all speaking. With all of our facts, opinions and restless, chaotic tips and thoughts... The majority of us have something to say. Even if we don’t share about it on a public platform, we’re all talking. So my question... My question is this... Who is listening? Who hears Holy Spirit’s voice? And when I… Continue reading Deaf Ears?
Sharp Objects
I had a dream about a month ago... I was standing in my living room and from the kitchen a dark figure was standing at my counter throwing knives, swords and other sharp objects at me. In the moment I didn’t know what to do.... So I reached my hand out and surprising caught each… Continue reading Sharp Objects
“She Gambles with God”
"Does trusting the Lord and not worrying mean we're coping out?" "No Bill. It just means we're doing what God told us to do." That... That was a conversation my grandparents had several years ago as they continued to follow Holy Spirit wherever He led them. And... You know, this... This is exactly how I… Continue reading “She Gambles with God”
Foggy Backroad
On Jan 1, 2020 I found myself on a winding, Louisiana backroad. In route to the gym, all I could think was, “Gosh the fog is SO thick this morning. I can barely see what’s in front of me.” And... You know, that’s how 2020 has appeared to me in real life. It’s foggy. It’s… Continue reading Foggy Backroad
Isolation: The Reality
This is it. This is a cultivated life. It’s a tree, firmly planted… Growing in isolation from the rest of the forest… One that’s nurtured well, develops, matures and grows properly in due season. Is the isolation enjoyable? Well of course. It’s nice to live in peace. Is it frustrating? Only when I allow it… Continue reading Isolation: The Reality
The Isolated Life
Isolation. Oh gosh, I hate isolation. Actually, I hate the initial feeling of isolation. Have you ever felt it before? It’s this blatant reality that no one completely gets you, who you are or what you’re going through. And it’s deeper than feeling alone because when we’re isolated we aren’t actually “alone”. You see... When… Continue reading The Isolated Life
Wait-y
Patience... Patience is really, really, really challenging for me. You see I’ve learned how to be patient with people and situations that are out of my control... But patience with God, myself and my own life.... Well that’s a completely different story. You see I just don’t like to wait. Waiting... Well waiting seems SO… Continue reading Wait-y
Doubtful Disbelief
“Stop what you’re doing!”... That’s what doubt and disbelief scream at me. “Stop what you’re doing and don’t move forward because you’re a fool and this is ridiculous." And it’s like that every time I step out in faith... I feel great at first. I feel like, I can “take on the world.” I feel… Continue reading Doubtful Disbelief
Without the Idol
I discovered a fear embedded deep within me. I discovered a fear embedded deep within me and it has to go. It has to go because I need to be free so I can move forward in life. You see I used to be very good about idolizing people. I used to place all of… Continue reading Without the Idol
