It’s Okay
Friday, March 13. That’s the day that COVID-19 and self-isolation became real for me. Before then, obviously I had known about the damage it had been doing around the globe… but it wasn’t here. Until it was. Suddenly, the schedule was changed. Everything cancelled. Plans I had built for myself, turned upside down. All it…

Turn From Fear
Guest post by my friend Caitlin from Down Under. As humans, we often rely on our own flesh and emotions, rather than on what God says. We run to fear instead of to God and we put our anxieties and our insecurities first in the situations we face. And y’know, I do the same sometimes.…

What Linus (and his blanket) can teach us
“That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.” Linus is wise beyond his years. And yet, as many times as I’ve seen “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, it’s easy to overlook one of the most beautiful lessons that it carries. In the end of the movie, when everyone does the little Christmas tree up, Linus goes…

The Winds of Change
So, this post is somewhat two-fold in purpose! Firstly, you may or may not have noticed an absence on my part during the last couple months; in part due to a slightly heavier schedule this year. Sometimes, other things just take priority, and I hope you understand! Three (or more) things you can look for…

I’ve realized that–without the blessing of the Lord, a fire is impossible. You may have noticed recently that I haven’t been as active lately, and I’m currently planning on writing closer…

Foundations (Part 2 of 2)
Every single thing that happens sends echoes through time. Some bounce back, others are amplified, and some are diffracted. Which kind are the echoes we send? In John 7:24-27, Jesus tells a story of the wise man who built his house on the rock and the foolish man who built his house upon the sand.…

Foundations (Part 1 of 2)
In the winter, my siblings and I will often make a snowman or two every once in a while. And while we’re not experts, we have learned a few things. We start at the bottom, building three rounds balls of snow, each successively small than the last. By doing this, we ensure that it’s not…

Thankful for the Scars

Stronger because of the Storm
Does it ever feel like the water’s too deep, and instead of swimming, you’re starting to drown? Or maybe it feels like you’re already drowning. Life throws some pretty challenging things our way, and if we’re not grounded in our faith, it can be easy to be swept away. But instead of the storm being…
