In my last post, I wrote about how God created us to be awesome and live an awesome life. However, just because that is how we are created, that doesn’t mean that is how we are living. If you haven’t read it, I’d encourage you to check it out because this post will build upon that idea. If God has created us to live this awesome life, how exactly do we accomplish that?

Embracing the Small Steps
In Genesis 12, God calls Abram to leave his country, family, and everything he has ever known to go to a new land. God leads him into Canaan and tells him that he would give that land to him and his descendants (v7). Then something interesting happens. A famine strikes Canaan and Abram and his family have to go to Egypt to survive. *insert puzzled look emoji here* [Read more…] about Embracing the Small Steps
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.

The Rain Will Come
As of today, it is exactly three weeks until I am going to be married. A lot of people have been asking me if I am excited. My answer is that it is one of the only bright spots in the current storm. I haven’t made a public statement, but if you pay attention on Facebook you may have noticed Trinity Academy is no longer listed as my employer. Due to budget cuts, I was let go as of last Wednesday. So exactly one month before I get married, I lose my job. [Read more…] about The Rain Will Come
A Life Changing Conversation
If you were wondering why I haven’t written any blogs recently, it is because I just spent two weeks in Brazil. The mission trip was really tough and challenging but really rewarding. Out of all the countries I’ve been to, Brazil was the toughest in which to minister. The people there had really closed hearts and there was a huge sense of pride. However, God is still God and He can do anything. We still saw lots of people give their life to Jesus and saw God do lots of other cool things. [Read more…] about A Life Changing Conversation
Swimming with Sharks
I’ve been watching a lot of the TV show Shark Tank recently. On the show, people bring business ideas in front of investors and try to strike a deal. It is entertaining seeing the different business ideas and products people have. Just today I saw an episode where a guy pitched a company called Rent-a-grandma. I’m sure you aren’t sold on the idea by the name, and the sharks weren’t sold on the pitch. Even more than the pitches, I love hearing the sharks debate about it.
