All In
I have been living on the sidelines a lot because fear just takes over my mind. It is paralyzing. So much so, that I can’t even move towards the thing I say I really want. I have let opportunities pass me by because I am too scared to take the leap or too scared the next step isn’t the right step. I over analyzing, over think, and just freeze. There are just so many opportunities I have lost out on because I was too scared to jump in and trust my own abilities to tackle that new and scary opportunity. I wish it wasn’t true. When I have my moments…

Happy Faith-versary!
July 28th Not much I remember about this day except that I chose to give my life to you on that day. I said come into my life and let me know even more about who you are. The other thing that sticks out about this date, is that I had a fight with my mom. I am not proud of it and I’m going to guess, I was probably to blame. I can’t even remember what we fought about, but I remember after that I had made my way to my bedroom and was in tears on my bed. It was there and then that I said, Jesus I…

I Need You, Always
Note: This is a super personal post ahead. But I need to share how God showed up for me through a recent valley. The worry set in. It was troubling. I knew what I needed to do. I made the make call to the doctor. This pain, it had gone on long enough. I needed some answers and relief. I scheduled my appointment thinking that maybe, just maybe I’ll cancel it if it feels better. My appointment was two weeks away. The date of my appointment quickly approached. I couldn’t deny that I still was experiencing the pain and discomfort. I sat in my car before my appointment in prayer.…

Life On Hold
In this season of waiting, how much are you moving to line yourself up with God? How much are you pouring yourself into His work and plans for your life while you wait for that thing that you desperately want? Do you pursue Him with all your heart, mind, and soul? How much of your attention is taken over by this thing you want to pursue? There are many forces in this world that tell us that what we have isn’t enough. If you are single, go pursue a relationship. If you live in a modest home, go buy a bigger one. If you own a car that is over…

Baptism: Freed From My Fears
My hands are shaking. My heart is beating faster. My thoughts are racing a million miles a minute. I search for you, but I can’t find you in this place of darkness and utter confusion. Where are you Lord! I need you now, in this place, in this moment. How at this moment of my greatest need is it that I can’t find you. Do you even care that I am drowning? Does my problem even matter enough for you to reach out your hand to grab mine to say that it will be okay? What more do you need from me to just tell me that you care? I…
