No Time for Caution
Hey. It’s been a little while, hasn’t it? Do you have some time to chat? At times, no matter what I put down on this page… nothing that shows up feels like the right thing to say. So I wait, sometimes too long, for just the right words. But sometimes life is too short for…

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.…

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…

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.…

Foundational Peace
Guest post by my backpacking friend Ricky. What if I told you that peace isn’t some ethereal feeling sung about in songs or the snub to reality portrayed in the last 2 minutes of every family friendly movie? What does it actually mean to be at a state of peace within yourself? I would suggest…
