Let love transform my soul-sight
It’s been long since I pinned words to paper, since I set aside moments to let my thoughts flow–but there’s a little something I’ve been learning here in the desert, here in the middle of serving, of giving, that I must let the ink run. I’m not going to give an account of glorious miracles, […]

Courage. It’s a word that’s been floating around my head these days, a word He quietly spoke to me saying, “this My child, is My word for you right now.” Some say courage is David come to meet Goliath, come to kill his giant. Some say courage is Martin Luther nailing the thesis to the […]

His name was Thomas — he was known as the doubting disciple, as the one who didn’t believe. Perhaps it was just one rash remark that ruined his reputation — his reckless resolution that he would not believe unless he saw. But perhaps Thomas knew something deeper than his doubt so loudly announced. It’s evening […]

Lately, (or honestly like all the time, 24/7 lol) I’ve been wrestling with, and turning over and over in my mind a thousand questions without answers, a million thoughts with seemingly no end.
