In grade school my best subject was math. I was always on the advanced track for my math classes. I graduated high school with AP credits in math classes. If you asked me back then what my talents were in I would definitely say math. English/grammar was probably my least favorite subject. I didn’t like reading and I didn’t like trying to remember all the stupid grammar rules. Going into my junior year of high school my English teacher recommended I take AP English. I hated the idea, but my mom made me sign up for it because my teacher wouldn’t recommend me for it if she didn’t think I could do it. My first day of the class the teacher had us write an essay and I was immediately over it. I went straight to the guidance counselor and switched out. [Read more…] about What Are You Waiting For

In Search Of Inspiration
I wonder if people think writing comes naturally to writers. In the same way, people probably think song writing comes super easy to a musician. Maybe for some it does, but for me that is not always the case. There are often times I stare at the screen in search of inspiration. That can often make it tough to stick to my blog post schedule. It is really annoying and frustrating. I sit there and think I shouldn’t be stuck. I should be able to pull up the page and easily fill it with words. When I’m in that mode, if I do write anything it is usually forced and not very good. Sometimes those things don’t even get posted. They just end up in the trash can.

The Power of Sharing a Dream
I have wanted to write an eBook for a while. There was something I was working on and had wrestled with for a while. I was about 4,000 words into it. But every time I sat down to write more it didn’t feel right. Something about it just felt fake and forced. But I had written 4,000 words. It was hard to think about just scrapping all of that. So I started praying about it and seeing if God could give me any clarity or insight on where to go because when I would try to add to those words, I would end up just staring at the screen feeling like it was heading nowhere.

Get Out of the Boat
There are a lot of us out there that have dreams. For a lot of us, that is all they are. I recently have been reading through the Gospels and some of the things the disciples to are incredible and make no sense at the same time. I love the story where Peter walks on water. Peter has a dream of something he wants to do and he just goes for it. [Read more…] about Get Out of the Boat
Why I’m Selling My Playstation 4
You may be wondering if the post title is a bait and switch to suck you into reading another one of my posts. Would I really be selling my PlayStation 4? That just doesn’t sound like it would make any sense. I agree with you. It does sound random, weird, and out of the ordinary. However, there is not a bait and switch here. My PS4 is really up for sale. [Read more…] about Why I’m Selling My Playstation 4
