Growing Bamboo Roots
I’ve been toying with a temptation lately, something that allures many of us in difficulty: the temptation to quit. The stress of what’s going on in my life feels far beyond what I can bear (not trying to dramatize, just wanna be transparent on this blog thingy 🙂 I think we all ...

Welcome Back, Life! The Freedom of Grace
Christians I think get it messy sometimes. I’m a big perpetrator of this. We think the whole ‘Dying to self’ thing means dying to our passions, whatever we love and find fun and enjoyable. But is that true? A quick review of Scripture seems to support this. Stop ...

The Grace to be Humble
I’m learning a lot about humility, and it’s been a wonderful experience lately (when you aren’t fighting the lessons He’s trying to teach you!). Humility is a beautiful and very freeing way to look at the world – once you embrace it. It’s the only true way ...

The Great Falling Away
The great falling away. The love of many will grow cold. Lately (and not intentionally) I’ve opened my Bible to doomsday passages. Joel 1. Isaiah. A bunch of other hard-to-pronounce names 😉 What’s happening globally, economically, spiritually seems to point to the same thing: ...
