As I write this, there is something in my heart that shouts for joy as realizations of a long hunt for truth are beginning to become apparent. It has been quite the journey. In order to find the truth, one must be able to accept the fact that their current thoughts, beliefs, and state of […]
Hebrews 10:19-31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw […]
I cannot help but ponder the previously-mentioned quote I placed on here a few days ago. As I’ve been wondering the implications behind discovering the inner wound within my spirit, while also discovering the genius, it becomes very apparent to me. It is increasingly difficult for me to figure out what it is that I […]
I’m afraid this isn’t going to be the most pleasant of posts. There’s a lot on my mind, I’ve had a significant amount of coffee, and all of my little buttons (patience, mainly) have been recently smashed in. This is not to say that I’m aggravated, by any means. It simply means this is a […]

As I think about all of the changes that have occurred, my mind cannot […]
In the midst of mine enemies, I eat a hearty meal. In the stress of the most difficult situation, I am able to laugh with few worries. In situations that would demand a scream of pain, I thank God that He is glorified with my voice rather than a shout of despair. He is faithful. […]
Rather than edit the previous blog, it seemed fitting to post a response. Of the many reasons I blog, the main one is that it allows me to reflect back on moments in time where the blog took place. It might surprise you how often I go back to revisit old blog postings from the […]
