Earlier today I was watching a message from Ed Buch of Pure Life Ministries. A segment of his message grabbed my thoughts. I will share some personal reflections based on his thoughts. Imagination & Wonder – a gift from God. I had never really considered it as a gift but in the right place IContinue reading “Imagination & Wonder”

A little Reflection
The days of winter are passing, I am thankful! I am eagerly anticipating the Spring season and the newness it brings. Reflecting back on the last couple of months it has not been easy, and in honesty sin has seemingly found its way into my heart in a variety ways; which has only added toContinue reading “A little Reflection”
The Ride Continues!
Days go by waiting to hear whom has been chosen to fill the position at this other school. Days go by waiting to hear whom may lose their jobs at my school. In that waiting my heart was nudged to consider how much I had “really” surrendered to where this ride may take me. Huh,Continue reading “The Ride Continues!”
Still Here — In the Unexpected
It has been nearly a month since my last post. While God was writing a story in my heart I was silent here. His faithfulness has and is carrying me on a roller coaster ride. In December I became aware of some potential job cuts within my school district. It was disheartening to consider aContinue reading “Still Here — In the Unexpected”
The Cost of Sin
It was in the Spring of 2017 when I realized this incredible cost sin can have on one’s life. I received a letter in the mail that shared the news that a dear brother in Christ had recently been arrested for a moral failure and had resigned from his ministry position. My heart sank andContinue reading “The Cost of Sin”

Physical Connection!?
This heading may be another one that got your attention or perhaps raised your eyebrows a little. 🙂 It’s all good.

Truth be told it made me a little sad that I haveContinue reading “Physical Connection!?”
2020 Anticipation !
1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.” A dear brother in Christ shared this simple verse with me while I was in a season of great unrest and anxiety – even to the point I was being ensnared with some obsessive compulsive behaviors I had never experienced before. TheContinue reading “2020 Anticipation !”
Truth: Thought Choice
Thought choice?! A few years ago I connected with a ministry called Free Indeed based on a referral from Restored Hope Network. I enrolled in The Freedom Fighter program which is a 20 week coaching program for those seeking freedom from sexual sin. As part of the program I read through the book At theContinue reading “Truth: Thought Choice”
Truth: Deceitful Heart
Perhaps I have shared some thoughts on this before; nonetheless its worth repeating. It’s worth repeating as I need to remind myself of this truth: Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Sometimes I find myself embattled with desires and struggle to understand why I am seemingly naturally inclined toContinue reading “Truth: Deceitful Heart”
