Reflecting on Resurrection Sunday

Yesterday was Resurrection Sunday. A day where we recognize Jesus’ resurrection from the dead… personally I’m not a big fan of ” Easter” but I’m a huge fan of Jesus! So I choose to acknowledge His resurrection not just on a designated day but everyday. At most churches “Easter Sunday” is a production. It’s one…

Learning to Lean

Preface : I wrote this while I was in New Jersey. I was having some difficultly writing. I’m not sure why maybe the change in environment. But one morning while strolling through my notes I found this observation that I wrote in February. After reading the note the writing flowed. Here is the note: I…

The Journey on the Amtrak

It’s March 25 and I am on the Amtrak going to New Jersey. My best friend is giving birth to our baby lol. I am kidding it’s her and her husband’s baby girl. I’m taking the trip to be there for the delivery and the first few days of her life! I’m excited and nervous…

Caleb: Where is my Confidence?

Dear Caleb, I’m sorry I’ve taken so long to write. I’ve set it in my heart to write this for letter 2 weeks but just couldn’t bring myself to write it. I have one question for you.. how did you do it? You and the other 11 spies went to explore Canaan, the Promised…

Truth: God is Constant

It’s Wednesday night and I’m brushing my teeth realizing that tomorrow is Thursday and I still have nothing to post on my blog. But to be honest, I didn’t have anything to post. There were certain things the Holy Spirit and I have been working through and that’s all there is. But while I was…

The Work Below the Surface

I have always had this slight obsession with trees, leaves, mountains and flowers. Not that I am a crazy nature person but I love looking at the natural beauty. I believe that nature shows us the glory and the strength of God– who is all powerful. Often times the Holy Spirit has encouraged me by…

Aaron and God’s Burden

Dear Aaron, You were truly a trendsetter. The first of the Levitical priesthood–chosen by God to come before Him for the people. As I read about you, I see how God restores your relationship with your brother in the wilderness. Moses wasn’t confident in his ability to do what God had chosen him for so…

Here’s to you, Leviticus

A few days before 2019 hit I decided to venture out to accomplish a goal that I’ve always tried but never completed. I looked at my “YouVersion Bible App”, Saved Plans and saw “ Reading the Bible in a year chronological order”. In that moment I remembered that in the latter part of 2018, I…

The Greatest Love of All

Today is Valentine’s Day. The day where love is celebrated all over the world. Some people consider it to be nothing but a consumer holiday like pretty much every other holiday while others hold this day close to their heart. Regardless of how we feel about this day love deserves to be celebrated. True and…

The Call to Go Against the Grain & Jeremiah

Shalom, Jeremiah. You’ve always fascinated me. I’ve tried at least 3 times to read your entire book. I always find myself getting caught up in the first seven chapters that I never get to the end. Let me explain, it grabs my attention but it’s so deep. I feel like in order to really grasp…
