Writing to encourage, inspire, and motivate people in whatever season they are currently in.
Were we humans created to be exposed to so much? For centuries, we could only really stay in constant communication with approximately 50-150 people, depending on our roles in society. We had our household members, classmates, coworkers, the people in our places of worship, extended family members, and neighbors. If someone moved away, we bid... Continue Reading →
Each year for the last 8 years, I’ve prayed about and had a word or phrase for the upcoming year. It’s usually not until the end of that next year, that the word(s) make sense. So, when I felt like the phrase for 2020 was “hidden no more,” I was excited and nervous, not knowing... Continue Reading →
Many of you don’t know this, but I have now known 10 people who have or had covid, including 7 people close to me that got it 2 weeks ago. I have seen and learned a lot these past few weeks, and wanted to share some things. Almost 160,000 people in the United States alone... Continue Reading →
Good Friday became good in hindsight. But imagine yourself in that time, and think about how you would have felt. Especially that Saturday!

At what age does fear kick in? Have you ever seen a toddler or elementary school kid playing? I remember when I was in elementary, and would climb to the top of the jungle gym, do flips, use my legs to hang upside down, and swing from bar to bar (skipping some), with no fear... Continue Reading →
This week, I had (and still experiencing) an in your face reminder of how fragile life is. We literally can’t take anything or anyone for granted. I’ve always tried to encourage people to not wait until xyz before they live out the very specific purpose God placed in them.... stop waiting till you get enough... Continue Reading →
Before I share this long story, please know that I am not bashing on doctors or prescription medicine.... Most people don't know, but for the past 14-15 years, I've struggled with a condition that had me in chronic pain. There were times in high school when I was hospitalized.
