Prayer (2/27/19)
(After reading the book Fervent, I try to get into the habit of writing down all my prayers. I will occasionally send them out, but this one was so long I had to cut it down. I then decided I would post it on here for anyone to read.) “But now, after that ye have…

Reconstruction: Pt. III – Weather Delays
Previously in this series: Intro Part I Part II Old habits die hard. At least, that’s how the saying goes and I believe there’s truth in it. Those things of old are difficult to kill, but not impossible. They can die; there’s some hope in that.

Reconstruction: Pt. 1 – Blueprint
They say your sophomore year is always the worst year. You come in thinking that you know everything because you’re not the new kid anymore, “I’ve been there, done that. Unlike like these fish around here… You see that lost look on their face? Man, so glad I’m done with all of that!” You are so…

Blind Ambition
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve taken up a new project recently. I made a list of things I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but stopped pursuing or hadn’t pursued. Either because I felt like I would never be able to do it or because I thought I wasn’t capable enough…

Eyes on the Prize
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” (Hebrews 12:1 KJV) I’ve had some time to reflect and I’ve realized that I…

Release

He’s brought it back to my remembrance today… “You haven’t failed. You didn’t fail.” “Step back. Let Me handle it.” “You’re not abandoning them. You’re not giving up on…
