Life From My Perspective.
Adversity has a way of showing up uninvited. It shakes things up, throws off our plans, and makes us question everything we thought was steady and certain. Typically we see those moments as setbacks but I’ve come to make an effort to see them differently. Those bumps in the road are often the very first […]
If you want a different life, you cannot keep waking up as the same person. It sounds simple but it’s actually where we often stay stuck. We wake up, run the same thoughts, feel the same emotions, react the same ways and then wonder why nothing changes. But your life isn’t just happening to you;
The View From Space Changes Everything A good friend of mine has often spoken over the years of the books he’s read and interviews he’s watched of astronauts who have spoken of their experiences. For many, the key takeaway was much less “sciencey” and so very simple: The things we think matter, simply don’t. With
Right now, all around you, there’s the seen… and the unseen. Everything you can currently see once began in the unseen, not from whatever came before it, but from pure possibility. Think of your nighttime dreams: one night you’re selling glowsticks at a parade, the next night you’re hosting a feast in a castle. Entire

Life these days feels like a constant storm. The news, social media, even conversations with people close to us can stir up so much negativity and anger. It’s easy to get swept into it, to feel like we have to match the energy being thrown our way. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to
The Wealth of Water and the Peace It Brings There’s something magical about the rain. Not the wild, thrashing kind and not the light drizzling kind either- though even those have their place- but the soaking, steady kind. The kind that gushes and taps against the windows and soaks into the earth with purpose. The

Stop waiting on people to call your name when they aren’t even called by God. You’ve got purpose, vision, and a calling- and it’s time to call your own name. Don’t sit around waiting for validation. Speak life over yourself, get clear on your goals, and move forward. The doors you’re waiting on will open

Life isn’t always smooth sailing. Even when you’re doing your best to walk the right path, life can still throw curveballs- pain, setbacks, heartache, financial struggles, health issues, you name it. Sometimes it feels like being a good person should make things easier… but that’s not always how it works. Psalm 34:19 says, “The righteous
Remember Who You Are Life, ego, and society have a way of clouding our Truth. They bombard us with expectations, distractions, and illusions- pulling us away from our essence. We are taught to chase what we lack, to compare, to mold ourselves into versions that fit, rather than embracing who we truly are. But the

Our Life’s Work: Knowing and Serving God In a world that constantly shifts its expectations, it’s easy to feel like our work doesn’t matter. One day, people applaud us; the next, they forget. What makes someone happy today might disappoint them tomorrow. If we live to please people, we’ll always end up frustrated because people
