Jude chapter 1 is a difficult passage to read. It warns of ungodliness and self-indulgence. Last year, I was struggling with relationships. In church, friendships can be difficult to maintain. Especially for someone like me who spends most of the week not in church or doing church things. Finding a balance was tough. The church…

I wrote this poem after meditating on verses found in Genesis 3, James 3, and John 16 of the bible. These passages encouraged me this week when I thought about the church and the state of the world. In turn I hope to encourage you with my following thoughts that were guided by the hope…

The hardest part of any season is the feeling of hopelessness and the anxiety that comes with not knowing how to face the unknown. The bible teaches us differently. In Psalm 23, it says “Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”…

I love September. It’s the start of fall, my favorite season. Some things I always associate with fall are pumpkins, fluffy blankets, and falling leaves. The best things in life, really. On the flip side I also associate fall with the beginnings of less sunlight and the anxieties that come with the start of holiday…
