Stillness
Remember how I challenged you in my last writing to “sit still” in the presence of God?

Remember when I described the path of stillness as an intense and somewhat cumbersome direction of cultivated… Continue reading Stillness
The Persevered Life
Perseverance. Oh gosh, I hate perseverance. Actually, that's not true. I hate the initial feelings of perseverance. You know... The feelings that make you think, "I've come so very far.

This is My Body
This is my body. It’s the only one I’ve been given. It’s the only vessel (that I know of) my spirit and soul will ever live inside of.

Circling the Bottom
I don’t want to climb the mountain.I don’t want to climb the mountain. Yes I have the strength, the endurance and the capability… But I just don’t want to climb it.

Kingdom of Lies
Lies... Deception... Manipulation... Layers upon layers rest upon my soul. And so my soul feels confused. But then, my soul doesn’t want a fragment of falseness. My soul wants truth. My heart and spirit crave truth too. But then my mind fears the truth because the lies sound so good and feel so powerful and… Continue reading Kingdom of Lies
What Gives God?
How can I confidently stand firm on God and His words and His promises when I have days like yesterday? Moments where I feel impatient and start to flip flop about the promises. And what about the “bloom?!” God promised I’d see a bloom in my life, but now I feel like He meant the… Continue reading What Gives God?
Dressed in Lies?
I got on the train this morning and couldn't help but find myself staring at the young man across from me.... Dressed from head to toe in some of the "best" brands and jewelry around. You could just tell he felt "cool" and "complete" because that's what those clothing brands stand for. But then I… Continue reading Dressed in Lies?
