  • Catch Fire!

    When you see a picture of fire many things come to mind. A house on fire. A car on fire. The Hunger Games book, “Catching Fire”, etc. None of these are what I am referencing when I say, “Catch Fire”! Far too often, those of us who have survived various forms of trauma, still walk… Continue reading

  • Off the Grid…Day 4

    When God shows you an aerial view of your life…what you do with it can say a lot about the direction you are willing to go in life. What do I mean by that? Since I have been off all social media sites, I have been able to refocus. My distractions have been eliminated. I… Continue reading

  • Day 1: Off The Grid

    Today starts the first day of the “Off the Grid” Challenge! No social media for 21 days! Yes, you read that right! Absolutely none! I accepted the challenge while attending Church on Fire in Harrison, Ohio last weekend with a friend of mine. As soon as the picture showing “Off the Grid” popped up on… Continue reading

  • Pain teaches us

    I have come to the realization that pain teaches us many things throughout our lives. Most of embrace the lessons and move on but many of us hold onto the pain like badges of honor, allowing it to affect every aspect of our lives. The latter was me. I held onto the pain, wore it… Continue reading

  • The Rescue

    Jeremiah 1:19 “They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. For a long time I was not sure if I would ever be rescued. There were many times throughout my life where I would pray for God to save me… Continue reading

  • My Goodbye to You

    I thought it was time I wrote you a letter to tell you how I felt. Not because I had to but more because I felt I needed to. I needed to let you know exactly what you did to me and how you affected my life. I needed to let you know all the… Continue reading

  • It’s Time to Stop Wandering

    Many people use the old clique’ “not all who wander are lost” quite a bit these days. Some even get it tattooed with a compass pointing in all directions. It leaves one to ponder how many take the time reveal at what J.R.R. Tolkien was really talking about when he wrote: “All that is gold… Continue reading

  • Feeling not enough…

    Just because you feel like you aren’t enough sometimes does not mean Jesus can’t use you. He fed the multitude of people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish (Mark 6:34-44)…this passage of scripture shows how Jesus took what even His disciples thought wasn’t enough and turned it into abundance. Often times we feel… Continue reading

  • When we hide…

    We hide behind masks. We hide behind pain. We hide like the grout used to cover up holes and imperfections in the backsplashes as a kitchen is being redesigned. We hide behind complacency. We hide behind dead end jobs sometimes complaining but most times enduring the suffering never looking for better because we feel stuck… Continue reading

  • Live the Vow

    Live the Vow “Live the Vow”…These three very profound words were spoke to me on a very healing and profound trip I took a couple of weeks ago and I have been meditating on what it means to do just that…”Live the Vow”. So what does it really mean to “Live the Vow”? What is… Continue reading
