"In Him was life, and that life was the light of men." John 1:4 NIV I was just sitting here the other day in my room talking to God about some things I don’t understand, like how I can still feel so unsatisfied and incomplete even though He is my Father and always near. A …
Facing Pain: Don’t Neglect Your Heart, part 2
I think sometimes that our pain and our frustrations can lead us into truth and breakthrough. And I think that so many of us fail to see the truth or experience breakthrough in our lives simply because we don’t allow ourselves to feel the pain or to acknowledge “what’s wrong.” Pain doesn’t feel right. And …

The Relay
I don’t know how long I had been running when my mind hit a wall. I no longer understood why my feet still carried me forward. It was futile. Where was I going? There was no end—no goal—in sight. So what was I running towards? Not only that, but it dawned on me that I …
A Concealed Invitation
I was at an event the other night in which the speaker brought up an interesting point about a topic that has become incredibly important to both my art and my faith journey. I was automatically challenged in my heart to explore, dig deeper, and ask some internal questions concerning this topic because something bothered …
Identifications

Go with me here, because I think God has allowed me to begin to understand something that at its core has the power to literally transform the world if embraced. So, for a moment, …
To Not Know
Lost at sea, it seems Yet I can’t be, Because how can I be lost when you’re beside me? I know where I came from and not all the reasons why I don’t know where I’m going, although my heart used to tell me to fly But by and by and through and through, all …
Boxes
I want to talk a little more about boxes. For a while now I’ve been on this sort of quest towards freedom—towards a different way of thinking that will transform the way I act and live. To get there, all the boxes that have been constructed in my paradigm must be destroyed. So I’ve been …
The Man Who Passed By: Following the King of Contradiction (part 2)
John 1: 35-36 “The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.” What would compel two men, based on a simple word from the one …

Don’t Neglect Your Heart
To be whole. Is this a paradox to a humanity that is hopelessly broken? I’ve been in my own process in the recent months of learning to understand who I am as a person, what state my heart is in, and to embrace the point I’m at in the process of becoming who I’m made …
Faith Again
I don’t want to think inside any more boxes Because these limitations pull at my skin and rob me of what you’ve stirred within— This fire I was born with that just needed recognition I forget so often who I was made to be But when I tap into that eternal destiny—that whisper that rushed …
