The best way to crawl out of a pit of depression and doubt is to remember what God has done for you. Even if you're not 100% sure he's in the day-to-day goings on, there have to be clear marks that he's done something good in your life. Not that he's cause something to cause … Continue reading Remember

Zeal, Celebrate, Consume
WordPress says 'share your story here' on the mobile app when you go to begin a post. Here goes, with a challenge to myself to include all the words for days I've missed.

Glory
I wonder if God's glory that resides in heaven is a bright light. That's how I always imagine it when I read the word glory in the Bible. A catch phrase I remember hearing for the decade plus we attended charismatic churches was something something something for God's glory. If doing something for God's glory … Continue reading Glory
Suffer
It's not something people like talking about. Well, not real suffering anyway. We joke and say we have first world problems, but our voices echo what's in our hearts so maybe we've I internalized our prim, proper, and privileged suffering.

Naturally when I think of the word life I also think … Continue reading Life

Save. Save some money. Save a life. Save it for later. Save it for the weekend. Saved from the flood. Saved from the Egyptians. Saved from conquering armies. Saved from Goliath. Saved from ourselves.

Celebrate
A benefit of taking more time for myself over the last couple years has been having the opportunity to celebrate. I didn't realize how much I needed it until I began doing it... That is, celebrating and being thankful.
Beloved
I have feelings about this word. I was thinking about it today while driving through beautiful and scenic western Maryland. Almost everything I lay eyes on becomes beloved to me in some way. But who calls me beloved?
