Oh man….. this quote crushed me this morning. As a parent, we want to protect our kids, right?Shield them from the pain and darkness of this world, keep them from trouble and frustrations. Grab them by the hand and rush them past the broken hearts and the sinful ways that so easily ensnare them. But […]
I read these words about creative people the other day, and it rang so true throughout my heart and mind! The last few years have been very difficult for me- working multiple jobs to “get by”. The last year has been increasingly difficult as a lead pastor and worship leader of a growing church, and […]
Yesterday, I was given the opportunity to prepare lunch for the staff and faculty of Christian Central Academy. I was in the kitchen where I work every day; but working by myself- with the doors closed. Just me and the Lord, some heavy prayers and intimate time with my King. At some point, I began […]
“Repentance” sounds like a harsh word to many but it is an essential aspect of the gospel and has been called “the first word of the gospel.” When John the Baptist preached, he said, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (Matthew 3:2).

EXCITING news to share….. You may remember my post from New Years Eve, about God being in control, and the lessons He continues to teach me in this “in between” season. Ever since my job was eliminated at the City Mission, I’ve been on this wild journey of waiting on and listening to the Lord, […]
As I think back on this crazy year we’ve had… only one statement resonates through my entire being- “God is in control”. In a year that has been full of heartbreak, confusion, lost relationships and things falling apart that I never thought would, God is in control. I’m confident that YHWH didn’t want me to […]
This tWitch situation has got me messed up today. I don’t follow mainstream anything anymore, but never did I not recognize the joy and presence this man brought to anything he was a part of. I have followed him on TikTok for the last year or so, because his joy brought out mine. His beautiful […]
Since I started working there in December of 2019, there has been no question in my mind that the Buffalo City Mission is exactly where God wants me. And God now continues to show me things that absolutely blow my mind when it comes to the connections that I have to the Mission generationally, in […]
It is pretty safe to say that God didn’t WANT me to fall, rip some tendons in my shoulder, have major surgery and sit around for 6 weeks, right? So here we are, with the frequently asked question… Why does God allow us to go through bad situations? Why do bad things happen to good […]
