When something we do not have is celebrated and talked about all around us. We can be left feeling inadequate, sad, and alone. I think that the month of February can often be like that. Not everyone has a loving and fruitful relationship to celebrate, or family and friends to stand in solidarity with them…

This is a poem close to my heart, that I wrote some years ago. On a Sunday at church, I was wrestling in my mind with what growth and sanctification looks like. I felt like I was not producing the fruit I desired, but I was sure that my faith was sincere. How long does…

I have found myself utterly exhausted during this Christmas season. Trying to meet every commitment, purchase every present, and prepare myself for the new year. It wasn’t until I went to church on Christmas Eve that I felt my body begin to relax. Because all of those things are good, but only one thing is…

As we approach Christmas, I try to maintain some semblance of sanity in between buying gifts for those I love and listening to the same three Christmas songs on repeat every where I go. I know that in many parts of the world Christmas looks different, but ultimately no matter where we are the message…
