Why is Obedience so Difficult?
Sometimes when God is working on our hearts and speaking to us, we hear it through songs and messages. Lately, when I’ve watched Crazy Faith by Michale Todd and read the bible, the message has been clear. “Be patient, don’t rush things, and wait in expectation.” That has been his message to me the last…
When Waves of Overwhelm Hit Hard
Last week, I was overwhelmed by work so I started this post to help deal with “normal” life overwhelm. It started like this” WHEN OVERWHELM HITS, HIT BACK It’s kind of ironic that after I overcame some obstacles and returned from a very focused, productive, and relaxing work retreat, I get hit in the face…
