It runs deeper than overcoming something. It is more than winning. It is even past learning to lose with grace. It flies in the face of victimhood. Victory. True victory. We can experience overcoming. We can overcome the work of destroyers that we have faced in life. And with Christ’s help… the parts of our…

The chill of the air is upon us again. Fall is fast falling haha. I don’t know about you but when the chill of the air comes, I think of one thing. Not Halloween. Rather, I think about the warmth of my wood stove. I almost can’t wait to get it going. I process all…

Are you afraid to dream? I understand that well. I’m afraid to believe in the things I dream of having, for I fear that they will not work out by default. It feels defeatist. It is weighty. It isn’t fun at all. I have a complicated relationship with my dreams, and the fact that I…

See a professional if there are any concerns pertaining to your heart, or anything else. That being said…. Your heart makes a lot of music. The…

Have you ever felt like everything was going wrong in your life? Even if it was for a just a moment? I think we all have at times; I certainly have felt that way. There are many people in the Bible that have gone through hard times, and honestly – they commonly had it worse…

“Everything that is up must come down. ”  I have heard that said before, and to be frank I considered it a rule — a rule for expected disappointments   Which is why for a long time I tried to live in such a way that I didn’t have to count on anyone.   Yet… that was terrible…
